BACKGROUND Glycemic variability is an important parameter used to resolve potential clinical problems in diabetic patients. It is known that glycemic variability generates oxidative stress and potentially contributes to the development of macro- and microvascular complications in diabetes. By controlling glycemic variability, it is possible to reduce these complications and to set the therapy f...

BACKGROUND/AIM Balancing strict glycemic control with setting realistic goals for each individual child and family can optimize growth, ensure normal pubertal development and emotional maturation, and control long term complications in children with type 1 diabetes (T1DM). The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of short-term continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) application in...

Cotton is the most important commercial crop of India and heterosis in cotton is well documented with 7 to 50 per cent heterosis in interspecific (G. hirsutum x G. barbadense) hybrids, 10 to 138 per cent in intra-hirsutum hybrids and upto 220 per cent in desi (G. herbaceum x G. arboreum) hybrids. Currently hybrid cotton, especially Bt cotton hybrids, occupies more than 80 per cent of cultivated...

The aim of this study is to assess the utilization CGMs in a GMV setting improve patient activation and engagement, quality life, metabolic outcomes including glycemic control through modified lifestyle behaviors patients with Type 2 diabetes.

Patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are generally discouraged from fasting (1,2,3). However, basal-bolus insulin regimens, by multiple injections or insulin pump therapy (CSII), allow distinctive delivery of basal and short-acting insulin and are theoretically compatible with short or prolonged fasting (4). Although many physicians consider that fasting is contraindicated, Jewish patients who r...

Throughout our lives, we are faced with a variety of causal reasoning problems. Arguably, the most successful models of causal reasoning, Causal Graphical Models (CGMs), perform well in some situations, but there is considerable variation in how well they are able to account for data, both across scenarios and between individuals. We propose a model of causal reasoning based on quantum probabil...

PURPOSE Experience with the use of real-time continuous glucose monitoring systems (RT-CGMS) in teenagers with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is limited. We aimed to assess the possibility of glycaemic control improvement and to characterize the group of adolescents, who may gain long-term benefits from the use of the RT-CGMS. METHODS Forty T1DM patients, aged 14.6 ± 2.1 years, with diabetes...

OBJECTIVE To compare glycemic patterns by mode of therapy in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus using the Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS). DESIGN Open randomized crossover comparing 3(1/2) months of multiple daily injections (MDI) and continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). SETTING Tertiary care, university-affiliated medical center. Patients Twenty-three children a...

OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA SYNDROME (OSAS) HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY SHOWN TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH IMPAIRED GLUCOSE METABOLISM, RESULTING MAINLY FROM INSULIN RESISTANCE,1-3 and, more recently, OSAS has been linked to the metabolic syndrome.4 However, data on early or late effects of OSAS treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on blood glucose and insulin resistance are conflicting.5-9 W...

OBJECTIVE Poststroke hyperglycemia (PSH) is common and has adverse effects on outcome. In this observational study, we aimed to describe the frequency and temporal profile of PSH using a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) in patients with and without diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Fifty-nine patients with acute hemispheric ischemic stroke were prospectively studied with the CG...
