in an attempt to determine the clinical value of frnctosamine assay for monitoring type ii diabetic patients, correlation of frnctosamine with glycosylated hemoglobin was studied. 100 patients with type ii diabetes mcllitus were compared with 100 normal subjects. fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, albumin and frnctosamine were measured in alt subjects. in the diabetic patients, a s...

Fructosamine (FA) is a glycated primary amine widely used as an alternative method for the assessment of glycemic control when glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) measurement is unreliable or if there is a need for short-term glycemic control monitoring. We report a case of a 36-year-old male patient with a six-year history of poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus and nephrotic syndrome. As th...

This study was planned to evaluate the liver function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus by measuring bilirubin (total and direct), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), total protein, albumin and glycosylated hemoglobin (HBA1c) .The study was carried out in Santosh Medical College & Hospital, Ghaziabad. 100 patients with t...

BACKGROUND Evidence consistently shows that diabetes is a risk factor for increased prevalence of gingivitis and periodontitis. But there is a controversy about the relationship between diabetes related factors and periodontal health. The aim of the present study is to explore the relationship between diabetes related factors such as glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose, duration of d...

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 lab...

AIM To evaluate the effect of nonsurgical periodontal therapy on glycosylated haemoglobin levels in pre-diabetic patients with chronic periodontitis (CHP). METHODS Sixty pre-diabetic patients with CHP were selected and equally allocated to case and control group. All subjects were evaluated at base line for periodontal parameters (plaque index, oral hygiene index, modified gingival index, pro...

Objective: This study evaluated clinical, glucose, and immunological parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) compared to those without systemic alterations (NDM), both generalized chronic periodontitis. Methodology: Twenty-one were selected indications of tooth loss. Surgeries performed using the Widman flap modified obtain a gingival collar at 1 mm from margin. Before surgica...
