background the goal of diabetes control should be feasible in order to minimize the risk of its adverse events and to reduce its burden and cost on patients. the current study aimed to assess the status of glycemic control in male and female patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm) in kerman, iran.   methods in the present study, 500 t2dm (300 women and 200 men) from the kerman coronary ar...

background: metabolic derangements in type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm) are likely to affect skeletal muscle contractile functions adversely. levo-carnitine improves muscle contractile functions in healthy humans and rats and corrects metabolic derangements in t2dm. therefore, it is likely to improve muscle contractile functions in t2dm as well. this study was designed to determine the effect of ...

objective(s):to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the contributions of gst genetic variants to the risk of diabetic retinopathy in an iranian population. therefore, the objective of this study was to determine whether sequence variation in glutathione s-transferase gene (gstm1 and gstt1) is associated with development of diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2d...

type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm) is recognized as a public health problem and increasingly prevalent illness. key elements of the guideline for diabetes care are based on evidence-based medicine approach and apply for population, not individuals. however, individualized care can improve diabetes management. personalized medicine is otherwise called precision medicine tries to find better predict...

background the altered levels of some essential trace elements and antioxidant minerals have been observed in diabetic patients. objectives the aim of the present study was to compare the concentrations of essential trace elements, copper (cu), zinc (zn), and iron (fe) in the serum of patients who have type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm) with those of their non-diabetic first-degree relatives (fdr)...

Cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction is a common complication of the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) [1-5], which is associated with a higher risk of sudden cardiac death in T2DM patients [1,4,6]. Unlike type 1 diabetes mellitus, the mechanisms responsible for the cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction have not been explored in T2DM even though T2DM affects 90 to 95% of the diabetic...

Objective(s):To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the contributions of GST genetic variants to the risk of diabetic retinopathy in an Iranian population. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine whether sequence variation in glutathione S-transferase gene (GSTM1 and GSTT1) is associated with development of diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D...

background decision-makers have begun to recognize health-related quality of life (hrqol) as an important and measurable outcome of healthcare interventions; and hrqol data is increasingly being used by policy-makers to prioritize health resources. our objective was to measure hrqol in a group of type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm) patients receiving insulin treatment in buenos aires, argentina.   ...

the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm) is rising dramatically in the middle east, especially in the islamic republic of iran, but the genetic basis of type 2 diabetes in iran is poorly understood. polymorphisms of hepatocyte nuclear factor-1α (hnf-1α) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (glp-1r) genes showed association with type 2 diabetes in several ethnic groups. in this study, w...
