gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm) is the most common metabolic disorder during pregnancy which is associated with 3 to 4 folds of increase in the risk of maternal and fetal morbidity, if it is not diagnosed early (1). gestational diabetes occurs from 1% to 14%, and 90% of pregnancy-related diabetes has been related to gestational diabetes (2). glucose challenge test (gct) and glucose toleranc...

Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) represent intermediate states between normal fasting glucose (NFG) or normal glucose tolerance (NGT), respectively, and diabetes (1). The regulation of fasting and glucose concentrations after an oral glucose load is dependent on different physiological mechanisms (2), and current evidence suggests that IFG and IGT have differe...

There are pros and cons of using fasting plasma glucose (FPG) A1c for the diagnosis management diabetes. Still, discordance between FPG is a common problem in clinical practice, there no definite international guidelines dealing with it. This article explains causes these anomalies factors that affect results tests, it also recommends some appropriate techniques investigation cases A1c.

The relationships between insulin secretion, insulin action, and fasting plasma glucose concentration (FPG) were examined in 34 southwest American Indians (19 nondiabetics, 15 noninsulin-dependent diabetics) who had a broad range of FPG (88-310 mg/100 ml). Fasting, glucose-stimulated, and meal-stimulated plasma insulin concentrations were negatively correlated with FPG in diabetics but not in n...

results thirty-four patients were hyperglycemic and 127 non diabetic. sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of fdg-pet/ct were 90%, 88%, 87% and 91% in non diabetic and 82%, 92%, 95% and 73% in hyperglycemic patients, respectively. overall, the accuracy was higher in non diabetic than hyperglycemic patients (89% vs. 85%). conclusions accuracy of fdg-p...

OBJECTIVE To study mortality in relation to fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and 2-h plasma glucose levels within the normoglycemic range. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Data from 19 European cohorts comprising 12,566 men and 10,874 women who had FPG <6.1 mmol/l and 2-h plasma glucose <7.8 mmol/l at baseline examination were analyzed. Multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs for deaths ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between fasting plasma glucose level and pulmonary function. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Nutritional information, pulmonary function data, and laboratory test data from 9,223 subjects from the fourth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were examined. The participants were divided into five groups according to fasting plasma glucose (...

BACKGROUND Patients with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection have increased rates of glucose intolerance, and studies have shown the improvement of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels after clearance of HCV infection with standard ribavirin plus pegylated interferon treatment. The purpose of this study was to examine glycemic changes with standard HCV treatment in patients with impaired fasting g...

abstract background: gestational diabetes is the second common disorder in pregnancy period, which is detected in 24-28 weeks of gestational age through screening tests in low-risk women. the women with gestational diabetes are prone to prenatal mortality and development of future diabetes. therefore, detection of these individuals in the fi rst trimester and conducting preventive interventions...

background the use of glycemic thresholds for diabetes diagnosis is controversial. however, no information is available regarding glycemic and glycated hemoglobin (hba1c) thresholds for detecting diabetic retinopathy (dr) in the iranian population. objectives the main purpose of the current investigation was to examine the association of fasting plasma glucose (fpg) and hba1c levels with diabet...
