states e.g., cancer, end stage kidney disease and cardiovascular disease (Paolisso et al.1996; Lennon et al.2016; Park et al.2014). This idea has been criticized because BMI is a relatively crude measure and fails to sufficiently incorporate the influence of body composition and metabolic he...
The main measure was a combination of neonatal complications, encompassing perinatal death, preterm birth, being large or small for gestational age, and requiring phototherapy for hyperbilirubinemia. Secondary outcomes included maternal hypoglycemia and neonatal fat mass at birth. Additionally, subgroup analy...
Additionally, with glucose and insulin values, you can calculate a HOMA-IR which yields an approximation of the degree of your insulin resistance. Since the HbA1c reflects an average of blood sugars over the last few months, it’s not necessary to fast before it; if, at the last minute,...
What is meant by drug resistance? What are the causes of diabetes insipidus and diabetes mellitus? Is there any correlation between diabetes type 2 and proteinuria? Explain. Why do we measure both blood and urine glucose? What is the name of the condition of having measurable amounts of sugar...
Introduction: Type 2 diabetes is characterised by relative insulin deficiency caused by pancreatic ?-cell dys-function and insulin resistance in target organs. The Patient Activation Measure is a valid, highly reliable, uni-dimensional, probabilistic Guttman-like scale that reflects a developmental model...

Second, we did not measure other hemodynamic parameters such as pulse pressure, central arterial blood pressure, markers of arterial stiffness that have been shown to be affected by empagliflozin treatment for 6 weeks [28]. Third, the immediate improvement in diastolic function...
Get up and have caffeine or no caffeine. Wait an hour. Eat breakfast. Measure every hour until lunch. Then measure for a few hours after lunch, as the effect is supposed to persist. Now, what effect does caffeine have on your blood glucose levels?
1914 Diabetologia (2018) 61:1913–1917 HbA1c level at age 70 was not consistently associated with cognitive function at age 70 or with the decline of cognitive function from age 70 to 79 [7] (summarised in Fig. 1). HbA1c is the gold standard measure of glycaemic control and a surrogate...
Although it has been debated whether 'negative selection' in NOD mice is impaired,48,49 it would be interesting to Most tissue-specific autoantigens are hormones or hormone measure amino-acid and carnitine levels in newborn NOD mice to precursors, for example, insulin and thyroglobulin (Tg), ...
