background: ramadan fasting for pregnant women with diabetes remains controversial and underreported. the objective of this study was to determine the glycemic control in pregnant diabetic women on insulin who fasted during ramadan. methods: this was a retrospective study carried out over a period of three years including pregnant diabetic women, who were on short-acting, intermediate-acting, o...

conclusions based on these data, we can argue that circulating glucose concentration is not directly affected by serum resistin in t2dm. it seems that resistin affects glucose indirectly, through insulin resistance. results we found that serum resistin had a positive significant correlation with insulin resistance (p = 0.000, r = 0.64). no significant correlation was found between serum resisti...

OBJECTIVES This longitudinal study investigated whether or not plasma retinol-binding protein (RBP), recently referred to as RBP4, was a marker of insulin resistance in overweight subjects. METHODS We measured anthropometric markers as well as RBP, fasting glucose and insulin in 206 overweight subjects and repeated these measurements 36 months later. Subjects were grouped according to fasting...

Oral CDCA and UDCA have different effects on gut pancreatic hormone secretion. A single dose of increased fasting secretion the hormones GLP-1 OXM with an accompanying increase in insulin also reduced postprandial GIP secretion, which was associated insulin. In contrast, did not change or postprandially. could be beneficial to patients obesity diabetes.

Insulin resistance is a common finding in diabetes mellitus, and may serve as a measure of efficacy of therapies for diabetes mellitus: exercise, exogenous insulin, sulfonylureas, and PPAR gamma agonists, and as a possible marker for risk for developing type II diabetes mellitus. The purpose of our study was to compare one measure of insulin resistance, the QUICKI method, which is a calculation...

BACKGROUND Any patient above the age of 40 years, coming with the symptoms of diabetes is labelled as type 2 diabetic. If insulin levels are included in the protocol for initial investigations of diabetic patients, they can be differentiated as having insulin deficiency or insulin resistance. They can thus be treated accordingly. This study was conducted to see the prevalence of insulin resista...
