Background: Diabetic patients show serious complications of chronic liver disease. The monitoring glucose in diabetic with disease is very challenging. Generally, the glycaemic control same as a person who does not have any Flash system way to measure levels body without pricking body. It an innovative method measuring levels. A flash monitor small sensor. This sensor sticky chip and attached o...

introdouction: periodontal treatment could have a positive effect on diabetes control . in this study, the researchers evaluated the efficacy of utilizing glucometer devices to detect glycemic levels in dental offices on inducing motivation towards the oral health care of diabetic patients. materials and methods: eighty volunteer patients with moderate periodontitis were selected for participat...

INTRODUCTION Risk of developing type 2 diabetes is increased in women with previous gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Postpartum glycemic screening is recommended in women with recent GDM. But this screening rate is low and the reasons are unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of Iranian women with recent GDM on barriers of postpartum screening for diabetes. METHODS...

To assess the accuracy and reliability of reflectance photometers in estimating blood glucose concentrations, two were assessed: the Ames Glucometer 3 (Bayer Diagnostics) with Glucofilm Test strips; and the Reflolux S (Boehringer Mannheim) with BM Test Glycemia 20-800 strips. These were compared with laboratory blood glucose estimations in 100 assays (50 comparisons for each machine, measuring ...

The prevalence of diabetes is rapidly rising all over the globe at an alarming rate. In India, more than 61.3 million people have been presently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is possible to control the circulating blood glucose levels by reducing life style risk factors through physical activities comprising of muscle stretches, aerobic training, resistance exercises (REs), yoga, ...

The development of a hybrid PET/CT led to the recognition of the enhanced glycolysis in brown fat. We report a previously unrecognized mechanism for altered fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) biodistribution with diffuse white adipose tissue uptake. This occurred during a restaging scan for cervical cancer following administration of insulin in the setting of measured hyperglycemia. The patient's blood s...

Microfluidics is a hot topic and one we have previously written about in this column. We have covered everything from microchips to rethinking the glucometer. Recently, we rediscovered a 2011 report (1 ) that takes the ideas behind microfluidics—manually or passively manipulating a fluid, particularly to identify what is in it—and suggests applying new knowledge we have about the ever-familiar ...

BACKGROUND To determine whether an internet-based mentoring program can improve glycemic control in subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). METHODS Subjects with T1DM on intensive insulin therapy and with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≥8.0% were randomized to mentored (glucometer transmission with feedback from mentors) or control (glucometer transmission without feedback) groups and were exa...
