The relationship between mean glucose measured using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and hemoglobin A1c (A1C) was evaluated in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) or type 2 diabetes (T2D) . Data from participa
IDDM can be diagnosed throughglycated hemoglobin (A1C) test, random blood sugar test, and fasting blood sugar test. Furthermore, treatment for IDDM includes taking insulin externally, counting carbohydrates, fats, and protein, monitoring blood sugar regularly, exercising often and keeping a healthy we...
We believe that determining the direction of this relationship between the two levels of gratitude has both theoretical and practical significance. For theories, the top-down process would indicate that domain-general gratitude affects domain-specific gratitude, whereas the bottom-up process would ...
Moreover, insulin resistance can be diagnosed through medical history, family history, physical exams, and blood tests (glucose tolerance test, glycated hemoglobin A1c, and lipid panel. Furthermore, treatment options for insulin resistance may include eating a healthy diet, physical activity, losing e...
The prevalence of diabetes was 19.4 % in men and 15.6 % in women. Increased daytime napping hours were positively associated with parameters of glycometabolism in women, such as fasting plasma glucose, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) 2-h plasma glucose, and Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c, all P ...
A fasting blood glucose level is a common test to screen for T2D and prediabetes. Patients should be fasting for at least 8 hours prior to taking the test. A level between 100 and 125 may indicate prediabetes. Any value that is 126 or higher may mean T2D is present. An hemoglobin A1c...
Hypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure≥ 140 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure≥ 90 mmHg, and/or treatment with an oral antihypertensive medication. Diabetes mellitus was defined as fasting blood glucose≥ 7 mmol/L, glycated hemoglobin A1c≥ 6.5%, and/or current use of insulin or oral...
Medical students are those who have obtained a bachelor’s degree and have been accepted to medical school after meeting certain requirements, including passing the Medical College Aptitude Test (MCAT).2 The first two years of their four-year program is devoted to classroom studies. During the la...
Morbidity and mortality are closely linked. Certain changes can influence the course of a disease and, in turn, the risk the illness can lead or contribute to death. This article explains the difference between morbidity and mortality. It also takes a look at ways to prevent morbidities and pr...
Two common methods to measure HbA1c are capillary electrophoresis (CE) and immunoassay (IA). Many methods used to measure HbA1c are prone to interferences from hemoglobin variants and abnormalities affecting the red blood cell's (RBC) turnover. Consequently, the average estimated glucose levels ...
