Liver cirrhosis (LC) is frequently accompanied by glucose intolerance. The present study was designed to determine whether glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and glycated albumin (GA) were predictive markers of glycemia, as determined by a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS), in patients with LC. A total of 30 patients with LC, including 3, 19, 5, 2 and 1 with LC due to hepatitis B virus, ...

AIMS Despite the known benefits, 60% of individuals with diabetes do not engage in regular physical activity (PA). This pilot study tested the effects of a counseling intervention using continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) feedback on PA self-efficacy, PA levels, and physiological variables. METHODS Adults (N=52) with type 2 diabetes (non-insulin requiring, inactive) were randomized to...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) for use in dogs, cats, and horses. DESIGN Prospective clinical study. Animals-7 horses, 3 cats, and 4 dogs that were clinically normal and 1 horse, 2 cats, and 3 dogs with diabetes mellitus. PROCEDURE Interstitial glucose concentrations were monitored and recorded every 5 minutes by use of a CGMS. Interstitial glucose conce...

Due to industrialization and sedentary life, incidence of type 2 diabetes (DM2) is increasing seriously. Repaglinide is a glucose reducing agent that predominantly reduces post-prandial glucose. Continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) monitors blood glucose excursions over a 3-day period. CGMS can be used as a therapeutic and diagnostic instrument in diabetics. There are not enough studies ...

OBJECTIVE To improve metabolic control and prevent complications, both acute and late, we need to adjust treatment on the basis of the blood glucose (BG) profile, as not even the most active BG self-monitoring gives sufficient information. DESIGN We have used Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS; Medtronic MiniMed, Northridge, CA) in a controlled crossover study including 27 diabetic pa...

OBJECTIVE The MiniMed Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS) measures subcutaneous interstitial glucose levels that are calibrated against three or more fingerstick glucose levels daily. The objective of the present study was to examine whether the relationship between plasma and interstitial fluid glucose is altered by changes in plasma glucose and insulin levels and how such alterations ...

The comparative-genomic sequencing of two Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains enabled us to identify single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers for studies of evolution, pathogenesis, and epidemiology in clinical M. tuberculosis. Phylogenetic analysis using these "comparative-genome markers" (CGMs) produced a highly unusual phylogeny with a complete absence of secondary branches. To investigat...

cial in subgroups of inten sive care unit (ICU) patients, but may harm other sub groups. Th is harm may be due to hypoglycemic events. In avoiding hypoglycemia, an accurate bedside glucometry method is essential [1]. Bridges and colleagues therefore evaluated the accuracy of a continuous subcutaneous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) in critically ill children, and concluded that the system prov...

BACKGROUND Since the advent of subcutaneous glucose sensors, there has been intense focus on characterizing the delay in the interstitial fluid (ISF) glucose response and the effect of insulin to alter the plasma-to-ISF glucose gradient. The Medtronic MiniMed continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) has often been used for this purpose; however, many of the studies have used experimental con...
