blood glucosefibrosiscirrhosisprogressionChronic hepatitis C (CHC) leads eventually to liver fibrosis, advanced hepatic disease and related deaths. Therefore, it is very important to assess clinical risk factors associated with rapid CHC and hepatic fibrosis progression. Former studies reported diabetes ...
OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between high but nondiabetic blood glucose levels and the risk of death from all causes, coronary heart disease (CHD), cardiovascular disease, and neoplasms. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We studied the 20-year mortality of non-diabetic, working men, age 44-...
Glucose can damage the cells in the body if the levels are not kept within a specific range. However, if these levels drop too low then it compromises energy production and normal cell activity. The body has to therefore ensure that the blood glucose levels are neither to high nor too low...
High levels of blood glucose are thought to be associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) and hyperinsulinemia, an interstage in the development of CRC. The purpose of this study was to examine associations between incident CRC and blood glucose; plasma insulin; and the homeostasis model assessment fo...
High blood sugar (hyperglycemia) happens when there are high levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood, which can occur in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Lifestyle changes are often the first-line treatment to bring down blood sugar, which can incl
However, some patients with early-stage diabetes still progress to diabetic microvascular complications even when blood glucose and blood pressure are under control [4, 7, 8]. To address this challenge, new prevention strategies need to be developed. Lipid metabolism is associated with diabetic ...
Higher blood glucose levels, shy of the diabetic range, increase the risk for dementia in adults, new data from the longitudinal Adult Changes in Thought (ACT) study suggest. "We considered blood glucose levels far into the normal (nondiabetic) range, and even there found an association betwee...
Some conditions caused by blood glucose levels that are too high need treatment right away: Diabetic ketoacidosis.This is when a lack of insulin, along with a high level of ketones, causes your blood to turn acidic. Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state.When your body makes insulin, but it doesn'...
New evidence of how the elevated glucose levels that occur in diabetes damage blood vessels may lead to novel strategies for blocking the destruction, Medical College of Georgia researchers say.
The latter regime was associated with a high blood-sugar level and the result was similar to that which has been reported by others (1, 2, 3). This paper summarises the results of a study of the disposal of glucose at normal and high blood-sugar levels under the action of the same ...
