back ground: nowadays diabetes is considered as the most common metabolic disorder and an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. diabetes has not definitive treatment but the progression of the disease and its related complication could be prevented properly by proper diet. the aim of current study is to determine the relation between fruit and vegetable consumption and physical ...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES In patients with heart failure and type 2 diabetes, low glycosylated hemoglobin has been related with higher risk of mortality but information regarding morbidity is scarce. We sought to evaluate the association between glycosylated hemoglobin and 30-day readmission in patients with type 2 diabetes and acute heart failure. METHODS Glycosylated hemoglobin was measur...

purpose aerobic exercise has been identified as the main treatment for type 2 diabetic patients. such an exercise, however, is usually repined by some of patients who suffer from lack of stamina. therefore, whole body vibration has recently been introduced as a passive intervention. the present study aimed at comparing how aerobic exercise and whole body vibration affect glycaemia control in ty...

objective: we aimed to evaluate association between thyroid dysfunction, and lipid profile and glycated hemoglobin in type 2 diabetic patients. materials and methods: this cross-sectional study was carried out in type 2 diabetic patients who referred to yazd diabetes research center. a total of 1200 type 2 diabetic patients who had thyroid dysfunction according to clinical examinations and labo...

BACKGROUND Hypertension and other vascular diseases are more prevalent in diabetic patients than in the general population. In humans and in several animal models of diabetes, a disturbance of endothelium-dependent responses has been shown. Oxyhemoglobin is one of the most known modulators of these endothelium-dependent responses. We postulate that high levels of plasmatic glycosylated hemoglob...

background: reports on the determinants of morbidity in coronary artery bypass graft surgery (cabg) have focused on outcome measures such as length of postoperative stay in the intensive care unit (icu). we proposed that major comorbidities in the icu hampered the prognostic effect of other weaker but important preventable risk factors with effect on patients’ length of hospitalization. so we a...

AIMS/INTRODUCTION The purpose of the study was to determine the feasibility and effect of a reward-based, task-setting strategy for low-income outpatients with type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Indigent diabetes outpatients without glucometers were eligible to participate in this trial. A total of 132 cases were randomly recruited. Participants in group B used glucometers for self-monito...
