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...
The definition of T2DM was as follows: fasting plasma glucose levels ≥7 mmol/L, HbA1c levels ≥6.5%, plasma glucose levels after 2 hr ≥ 11.1 mmol/L or a random plasma glucose level ≥11.1 mmol/L. The exclusion criteria consisted of advanced liver disease, renal failure, ...
High blood sugar(hyperglycemia) happens when there are high levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood. High blood sugaraffects people with type 1 andtype 2 diabetes, conditions in which the body has too little insulin or when the body doesn't use insulin properly. High blood sugar is defined ...
Do high fasting glucose levels suggest noc- turnal hypoglycaemia? The Somogyi effect--more fiction than fact? Diabet Med. 2013;30(8):914-917.P. Choudhary, C. Davies, C. J. Emery, S. R. Heller. (2013) Do high fasting glucose levels suggest nocturnal hypoglycaemia? The Somogyi effect-...
Elaborating and understanding disparities in the burden of cardiovascular disease attributable to high fasting plasma glucose is important to improve diabetes prevention and promote cardiovascular health. In this study, we pool data on 791,373 people aged 25 years and older from three population-based ...
Fasting or two-hour postprandial plasma glucose levels in early months of pregnancy as screening tools for gestational diabetes mellitus developing in late... Purpose: The present study was done to find out whether the fasting or 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose (PPPG) levels in early month...
A person with normal blood sugarlevels has a normal glucose range of 72-99 mg/dL while fasting and up to 140 mg/dL about 2 hours after eating. People with diabetes who have well-controlled glucose levels with medications have a different target glucose range. These people may have a fastin...
Both HFrD and Sac significantly increased fasting blood glucose levels compare to the control (140 ± 5 and 137 ± 6 vs. 118 ± 3 mg/dL, respectively, p < 0.05). However, only HFrD increased insulin secretion (0.99 ± 0.12 vs. 0.7 ± 0.1 and 0.6 ± 0.1 ug/L), Tg levels (420 ...
After adjustment for age and sex, a 1-mmol/L-higher fasting plasma glucose was associated with a 1.10-fold-increased risk of CHF hospitalization (95% confidence interval, 1.08 to 1.12; P<0.0001). The association persisted after adjustment for age, sex, smoking, previous myocardial infarction, ...
Impaired Glucose Tolerance, but not Impaired Fasting Glucose, Is Associated With Increased Levels of Coronary Heart Disease Risk Factors. Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) identify individuals at high risk for progression to diabetes. Whether IFG and IGT have... Bla...
