Acute hyperglycaemia has been associated with complications, prolonged intensive care unit and hospital stay, and increased mortality. We made an inventory of the prevalence and prognostic value of hyperglycaemia, and of the effects of glucose control in different groups of critically ill patients. The prevalence of hyperglycaemia in critically ill patients, using stringent criteria, approaches...

OBJECTIVE Our primary objective was to determine the impact of prior exposure to hyperglycaemia on the association between glycaemic variability during critical illness and mortality. Our secondary objectives included evaluating the relationships between prior hyperglycaemia and hyperglycaemia or hypoglycaemia during critical illness and mortality. DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS A single-centre, ret...

Introduction. Since 1999 continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has been used to measure the amount of in interstitial fluid. CGM is crucial when it comes developing ambulatory profile and giving information on time spent range (TIR), percentage above below range, as well variability. Discussion. It was 1992 that Campbell et al. first described white coat hyperglycaemia, who explained patients hav...

AIMS Diabetes is associated with increased mortality in older adults, but the specific contributions of diabetes-associated clinical conditions and of increasing hyperglycaemia to mortality risk are unknown. We evaluated whether cardiovascular disease, comorbidities, or degree of hyperglycaemia, particularly severe hyperglycaemia, affected diabetes-related mortality risk in older, disabled wome...

OBJECTIVE Fe supplementation has been used to prevent anaemia in China; however, high Fe intake and body Fe stores may increase diabetes risk. The present study aimed to prospectively examine the association between Fe intake/stores and hyperglycaemia, and to assess the joint effects on anaemia. DESIGN We followed 1056 healthy adults aged 20 years and older from 2002 to 2007. Body Fe stores w...

BACKGROUND Hyperglycaemia delays gastric emptying, both in healthy controls and in patients with diabetes mellitus. The effect of hyperglycaemia on antroduodenal motility in diabetes has not yet been studied. AIM To investigate the gastrointestinal motor mechanisms involved in the hyperglycaemia induced retardation of gastric emptying in patients with type I diabetes mellitus and autonomic ne...
