OBJECTIVE To examine the association of A1C levels and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) with diabetic retinopathy in the U.S. population and to compare the ability of the two glycemic measures to discriminate between people with and without retinopathy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This study included 1,066 individuals aged >or=40 years from the 2005-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination ...

Bio-Medical Instrumentation is an expanding and demanding area in which many fields are available to explore, among which diabetes is a main segment to address. Glucose and Insulin are both interrelated terms. Glucose is a sugar which provides energy to the cells. Insulin is a hormone which supports the absorption of glucose. The Glucose-Insulin regulation model is obtained by modifying the dyn...

A case is reported of a patient with typical diabetic retinopathy, but with normal glucose tolerance. Previously reported cases are reviewed and it is concluded that in such patients the diabetes is probably latent, the retinopathy being discovered during a period of natural or induced remission.

Peripheral neuropathies are a major cause of morbidity in patients with diabetes mellitus. Up to now, drugs for improving the impaired nerve functions has been lacking for diabetic neuropathy. The antioxidant and neuroprotective effects of luteolin make it an attractive candidate for diabetic neuropathy. The present study was designed to investigate the putative beneficial effect of luteolin on...

BACKGROUND Diabetic dermopathy has been termed the most common cutaneous finding in diabetes, occurring in as many as 40% of diabetic patients older than 50 years. Using laser Doppler technology, we tested the hypothesis that dermopathy lesions represented areas of cutaneous ischemia. DESIGN A survey of cutaneous blood flow in diabetic patients with dermopathy and comparison of values with th...

AIM The purpose of the study was to evaluate the comparison of manual refraction versus autorefraction in diabetic retinopathy patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was conducted at the Be'sat Army Hospital from 2013-2015. In the present study differences between two common refractometry methods (manual refractometry and Auto refractometry) in diagnosis and follow up of retinopathy in pati...

Several epidemiological studies have found a positive association between diabetic retinopathy (DR) and subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH), but the findings are varied or even contradictory. In the work, we performed a meta-analysis to ascertain the relationship between DR and SCH. We searched relevant studies on the relationship between DR and SCH. All English reports were used Medline, EMbase, ...

The literature on diabetic retinopathy in the dog is reviewed. A case report, including the ophthalmoscopic appearance of typical diabetic retinopathy, in an 8 1/2-year old standard poodle known to be diabetic for over 7 years, is given. The relationship between the duration of diabetes and the retinopathy is discussed.

BACKGROUND Although periconceptional glycemic control directly impacts perinatal outcome for pregestational diabetic women, these women still frequently enter pregnancy with suboptimal control of glycemia. OBJECTIVES To determine how frequently diabetic women enter pregnancy with suboptimal glycemic control and to identify factors associated with not achieving optimal periconceptual control o...
