Optimal fasting plasma glucose level for diagnosis of diabetes in a Singaporean populationvalue than linear, quadratic and logarithmic) for the whole population. The FPG level corresponding to 2HPG 11.1 mM using the exponential model was 6.1 mM. Patients aged 50 years and above had lower FPG cut...
type-1 and type-2 diabetes are associated with lower levels of total (fully carboxylated + partially uncarboxylated) OC. Among those with diabetes, higher total OC is associated with lower fasting glucose and HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin). In a study of 50 poorly controlled diabetic...
In particular, low water intake and concentrated urine have been adversely linked to chronic kidney disease progression2,8,9,10, kidney stones incidence11 and glucose dysregulation12,13. Additionally, interventional studies showed that increased fluid intake improved renal functions14,15 in the general...
The LS7 score, assessed at baseline, was composed of four behavioral (smoking, body mass index, diet, and physical activity) and three biological (serum total cholesterol, plasma glucose, and blood pressure) metrics. All metrics were categorized into three levels (poor = 0, intermediate = 1,...
Patients were fasted for a minimum of 4 h, and blood glucose levels were generally kept below 150 mg/dL. Data interpretation We classified FDG-PET/CT results into four categories based on whether the FDG-PET/CT showed abnormalities and whether the FDG-PET/CT results were helpful for the ...
women who have had GDM; easy access to a diabetes dietitian with diet recommendations tailored to a woman’s context including ethnic food and financial considerations; free capillary blood glucose (CBG) monitoring equipment, health shuttles to take women to appointments; child care when attending ...
71,72 However, many starchy foods, such as baked potatoes and white bread, are rapidly digested to glucose and produce even higher glycemic and insulinemic responses than sucrose (half glucose and half fructose). The glycemic index (GI) ranks foods based on rise in blood glucose (the ...
104 However, a recent study of older patients (upper age limit: 75 years) with moderate Type 2 diabetes (HbA1c about 7.9%) but no kidney disease, showed that those who ate a high-protein diet (about 30% kcal from protein) tended to require fewer glucose-lowering medications after 1 ...
women who were unable to tolerate glucose-containing drinks. FPG test was performed to establish the diagnosis of GDM13. Zhuet al. reported that during the first prenatal visit, increased FPG level was strongly associated with GDM at 24–28 weeks’ gestation in China14. However, there were ...
While already providing exact and quantitative metabolic turnover rates for metabolites directly involved in glucose metabolism, such a ‘small system’ does not highlight other parts of whole body homeostasis, as for example, metabolism of amino acids. To address this limitation, we are extending ...
