OBJECTIVE Screening for diabetes in low-resource countries is a growing challenge, necessitating tests that are resource and context appropriate. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of a self-administered urine glucose test strip compared with alternative diabetes screening tools in a low-resource setting of Cambodia. DESIGN Prospective cross-sectional study. SETT...

Indonesia is one of the countries with a high prevalence diabetes, total cases diabetes in adults reaching 10 million cases, 6.2% adult population. Diabetes mellitus (DM) group metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia due to defects insulin secretion, action, or both.

OBJECTIVE The economic costs of hyperglycemia are substantial. Early detection would allow management to prevent or delay development of diabetes and diabetes-related complications. We investigated the economic justification for screening for pre-diabetes/diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We projected health system and societal costs over 3 years for 1,259 adults, comparing costs associat...

INTRODUCTION Postpartum screening for glucose intolerance among women with recent histories of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is important for identifying women with continued glucose intolerance after birth, yet screening rates are suboptimal. In a thorough review of the literature, we found no studies of screening practices among certified nurse-midwives (CNMs). The objectives of our stu...

objective: this study aimed to evaluate the correlation between plasma lipid levels at first trimester of pregnancy and results of oral glucose challenge test (ogct). materials and methods:  in a cross - sectional descriptive analytic study, two hundred eligible primigravida women without history of diabetes mellitus referring to vali-e-asr hospital were evaluated. plasma levels of triglyceride...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between fasting plasma glucose (FPG) values and other variables (e.g., age, sex, and BMI) to 2-h post-75-g oral glucose load glycemia (PG) in Japanese subjects. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Subjects included 13,694 Japanese subjects between 20 and 83 years of age (10,677 men and 3,017 women) who were undergoing a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)...

To determine the sensitivity and specificity of the 50-g 1-h glucose screening test (GST) for hyperglycemia established in a home-monitored glucose profile (HGP) from blood sampled 1 h after each of the main meals on the following day, we prospectively studied 415 pregnant women at increased risk for gestational diabetes and compared 1 GST with 1 HGP. At the commonly recommended GST threshold o...

OBJECTIVE To describe and evaluate a community-based diabetes screening program supported by the Michigan Department of Community Health. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Between 1 June 1999 and 31 December 1999, community screening for diabetes was conducted by voluntary organizations using a standard protocol, American Diabetes Association (ADA) questionnaires, and ADA capillary plasma glucose c...
