BACKGROUND Hypertension and other vascular diseases are more prevalent in diabetic patients than in the general population. In humans and in several animal models of diabetes, a disturbance of endothelium-dependent responses has been shown. Oxyhemoglobin is one of the most known modulators of these endothelium-dependent responses. We postulate that high levels of plasmatic glycosylated hemoglob...

purpose aerobic exercise has been identified as the main treatment for type 2 diabetic patients. such an exercise, however, is usually repined by some of patients who suffer from lack of stamina. therefore, whole body vibration has recently been introduced as a passive intervention. the present study aimed at comparing how aerobic exercise and whole body vibration affect glycaemia control in ty...

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 labo...

AIMS/INTRODUCTION The purpose of the study was to determine the feasibility and effect of a reward-based, task-setting strategy for low-income outpatients with type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Indigent diabetes outpatients without glucometers were eligible to participate in this trial. A total of 132 cases were randomly recruited. Participants in group B used glucometers for self-monito...

Glycation is the nonenzymatic attachment of a monosaccharide to amino groups of proteins. The reaction has been recognized for many years in the food industry, where it is known as browning (also termed the Maillard reaction) and is responsible for the formation of commonly ingested items, such as toast. In patients with diabetes, glucose accumulation results in enhanced glycation of many prote...
