Sixty patients were included, with HbA1c mean of pre-pregnancy, first and third trimesters of 9.3, 8.1 and 6.8%, respectively. 7.7% women had HbA1c ≤ 6.5% in pre-pregnancy and 16.7% in first trimester...
Although most of these women reported having had information about the importance of a planned pregnancy, adequate glycemic control of women with diabetes before and during the pregnancy is still not ...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) clinical outcome and disease severity affected by several factors; deterioration of glycemic control is one of them. Therefore, achieving optimum blood glucose para...
From April 2020 to January 2021, we carried this retrospective cohort in a clinical care facility in Pakistan....
Mortality was lowest in patients with HbA1c of less than 7% (53 mmol/mol) (p < 0.001). Similarly, mortality was found lowest in patients with fasting blood glucose less than 126 mg/dl and random blood...
Effective diabetic management is correlated with a considerably lower risk of mortality and invasive mechanical ventilation in COVID-19 cases....
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a worldwide health issue that is defined by elevated blood glucose levels and impaired metabolism of fat, carbohydrates, and proteins. Atherosthrombotic events are very likel...
To compare the coagulation profile parameters between patients with good glycemic control and poor glycemic control and to evaluate the association of coagulation profile and glycemic control in type ...
This study was conducted in Wolkite university specialized hospital on 90 type 2 Diabetics patients among which 45 were with good glycemic control and 45 were with poor glycemic control. Seven ml bloo...
According to the current study, when comparing Type 2 Diabetes with poor glycemic control to those with good glycemic control, there was an increase in PT and aPTT concentration (statistically signifi...
People with Type 2 diabetes have altered coagulation profiles, which have demonstrated that hyperglycemia causes abnormalities in coagulation. Patients with Type 2 diabetes who have poor glycemic cont...
Multiple pathogenetic mechanisms are involved in the genesis of various microvascular and macrovascular complications of diabetes mellitus. Of all these, advanced glycation end products (AGEs) have be...
The present narrative review aims to summarize the available literature on the genesis of AGEs and their potential role in the causation of both micro- and macrovascular complications of diabetes mell...
Uncontrolled hyperglycemia triggers the formation of AGEs through non-enzymatic glycation reactions between reducing sugars and proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids. AGEs accumulate in bloodstream and b...
AGEs, triggered by chronic hyperglycemia, play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of various complications of diabetes mellitus....
We examined the impact of a pilot 24-week delivery-based produce prescription (PRx) intervention with tailored education and culinary resources for rural patients (n = 40) with type-2 diabetes in unde...
We used a single group pretest-posttest design that included a home-delivered PRx, culturally tailored recipes, and health/nutrition education handouts. Measures included hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), self-...
Mean HbA1c decreased from 7.6 ± 1.6% to 7.1% ± 1.4% (P = 0.001). Self-reported consumption of fruit/vegetables improved, including frequency and serving size of beans (P = 0.01 and P = 0.01), serving ...
Findings from this pilot PRx intervention suggest a delivery-based PRx with tailored educational resources has the potential to reduce HbA1c and stress while improving fruit/vegetable consumption with...
COVID-19 has exacerbated barriers to routine testing for chronic disease management. This study investigates whether a home hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test kit intervention increases frequency of HbA1c te...
Retrospective analysis of a randomized, controlled quality improvement intervention among members with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in a large commercial health plan....
Participants were 41,214 commercial fully insured members with T2D without an HbA1c test in the past 6 months or with only 1 HbA1c test in the last 12 months. Members were randomly assigned to either ...
A total of 11.1% (508 of 4590) at-home HbA1c kits were completed. At-home HbA1c test kits increased testing rates by 4.9% compared with controls (P < .001). Members with an HbA1c level of at least 7% ...
This novel, at-home approach to test HbA1c is an effective intervention to increase testing rates and facilitate HbA1c reduction over time in patients with T2D....
Studies indicate that treating periodontitis may benefit glycemic control among people with diabetes. It is unclear whether oral self-care such as flossing may reduce risk for periodontitis and improv...
We analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011-2014 for 892 participants aged 30 years and older with diabetes who completed the periodontal examination and lab test f...
Among U.S. dentate adults with diabetes, 52.1% of flossers and 72.1% of non-flossers had periodontitis (p < 0.001). Flossers were 39% less likely to have periodontitis (Adj. OR 0.61, 95% CI 0.43-0.88)...
