background education is an integral part of the treatment in diabetes mellitus. attendance at long courses might not be convenient for many patients. objectives the current study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of self-management, short course instruction on glycemic control in adults with diabetes mellitus. patients and methods a total of 60 patients with diabetes mellitus were ran...

• Critically ill patients have the issue of poor glucose control, which includes the presence of dysglycemia and high glycemic variability. • Current clinical practice follows the guidelines suggested by the NICESugar trial to control the blood sugar level for cricital care. • However, there are overwhelming variations in clinical conditions and physiological states among patients under critica...

Abnormal glucose tolerance during pregnancy is associated with perinatal complications. We used continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in pregnant women with glucose intolerance to achieve better glycemic control and to evaluate the maternal glucose fluctuations. We also used CGM in women without glucose intolerance (the control cases). Furthermore, the standard deviation (SD) and mean amplitude o...

The study explored the utility of four-point preprandial glucose self-monitoring to calculate several indices of glycemic control and variability in a study adding the DPP-4 inhibitor vildagliptin to ongoing insulin therapy. This analysis utilized data from a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study in 29 patients with type 2 diabetes treated with vildagliptin or placebo on ...

BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. The abnormal glucose metabolism results from defects in insulin production or insulin action, or both. For decades, it was suspected that diabetes contributed to poorer oral health and the increased frequency of periodontitis. More recently it was found that periodontitis could adversely affect glycemic control...

UNLABELLED Under altitude hypoxia condition, energy reliance on anaerobic glycolysis increases to compensate the shortfall caused by reduced fatty acid oxidation. Short-term moderate altitude exposure plus endurance physical activity has been found to improve glucose tolerance (not fasting glucose) in humans, which is associated with the improvement in the whole-body insulin sensitivity. Howeve...

A discussion of hyperglycemia during organ transplantation is a broad topic that includes patients with a known history of diabetes pretransplant, those at risk for post-transplant diabetes, those with stress-induced hyperglycemia, those with hyperglycemia related to immunosuppressive therapy, and hyperglycemia in the deceased organ donor. In contrast to the plethora of articles and studies des...
