new-onset diabetes after transplantation (nodat) is one of the frequent complications following kidney transplantation. patients were randomized to receive cyclosporine a- or tacrolimus-based immunosuppression. fasting and oral glucose tolerance tests were performed, and the patients were assigned to one of the following three groups based on the results: normal, impaired fasting glucose/impair...

Fifty normal people and 50 diabetic patients were studied by means of an enzymatic method for the glucose content in the blood, tears, and urine before and after the peroral glucose load. In normal subjects the fasting glucose levels in the tears averaged 3.6 mg/100 ml (0.2 mmol/l) and in the diabetic patients it averaged 16.6 mg/100 ml (0.92 mmol/l). As in blood and urine, tear glucose levels ...

BACKGROUND Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the common complications that occur during pregnancy. Early intervention is essential to prevent the development of the disease in the non-pregnant state but also helpful in preventing the occurrence of GDM. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of aerobic exercises on insulin sensitivity and fasting plasma glucose level in pregna...

 Materials Methods: 67 AS were included cross-sectional descriptive study. Socio-demographic data, waist circumference systolic blood pressure evaluated. Fasting glucose, HDL cholesterol, Triglyceride values recorde...

this study was planned to investigate the effects of supplementation of cinnamon on fasting blood glucose levels and lipid profiles among type2 diabetic patients. 60 subjects with type 2 diabetes from both sexes (30 males and 30 females) were allocated to the intervention and control groups (30 individuals per group). t he doses of 1.5 g of cinnamon were equally administered orally in the form ...

Background Antihyperglycemic effects of Panax ginseng berry have never been explored in humans. The aims of this study were to assess the efficacy and safety of a 12-wk treatment with ginseng berry extract in participants with a fasting glucose level between 100 mg/dL and 140 mg/dL. Methods This study was a 12-wk, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. A total of 72 part...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diabetes and impaired fasting glucose are diagnosed based on an elevated plasma glucose level after an overnight fast. The diagnostic cutpoint of diabetes arises from the threshold for development of microvascular complications. Our aim was to examine the associations between clinical relevant categories of fasting glucose levels and the risk of incident ischemic stroke. ...
