Millions of people suffer from diabetes mellitus. Most of them endure diabetes peripheral neuropathy (DPN) at the same time.
Association of albumin, globulin and albumin/globulin ratio with renal injury in type 2 diabetic nephropathy patients
Studies have shown that albumin/globulin ratio (AGR) can assess the extent of kidney damage in type 2 diabetic nephropathy (T2DN). However, there is a lack of similar clinical data to support this.
Glycemic outcomes of people with diabetes mellitus in Brazilian primary health care
The capillary blood glucose monitoring program at home a challenge in primary health care. Therefore, it is fundamental to identify the glycemic control of people with diabetes mellitus through HBA1c and to analyze its associated factors.
The importance of active B12 (holotranscobalamin) measurement in the diagnosis of vitamin B12 deficiency in type 2 DM patients using metformin
B12 deficiency, which can be seen in type 2 DM patients using metformin, can cause peripheral nerve damage that can easily be confused with peripheral neuropathy, a complication of diabetes. Therefore, early diagnosis is important in patients.
Changes in HbA1c values of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus during the pandemic period and their relationship to food literacy
Diabetes Mellitus is recognized as one of the most prevalent chronic diseases worldwide. The disruptions encountered in healthcare services during the pandemic period have significantly impacted the treatment and monitoring of these patients. While the concept of food literacy is relatively new, its potential impact on nutrition-related chronic diseases remains to be fully demonstrated.
Diabetes-specific eating disorder and social exclusion in adolescents with type 1 diabete
Adolescents with type 1 diabetes are at risk of developing eating disorders and social exclusion, and these disorders are associated with serious diabetes-related medical and social complications
Association between comorbid diabetes mellitus and mortality of patients with sepsis: A meta-analysis
Although diabetes patients have a higher propensity to develop infection and sepsis, it is still controversial whether the mortality of sepsis patients is affected by diabetes (DM). We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to deter- mine the relationship between diabetes and mortality in patients with sepsis
Insulin glargine use and cancer risk among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a real-world study in Shanghai, China
The association of insulin glargine with overall and site-specific cancer risk remains uncertain. This study aims to provide relevant evidence from mainland China.
A heterozygous mutation at promoter region of insulin gene ( INS ) accounts for early-onset diabetes: A case report and review of the literature
Insulin gene (INS) mutations are associated with a rare form of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY). Here, we describe a proband with early-onset diabetes resulting from a heterozygous mutation in the promoter region of INS and summarize the clinical features of INS mutations caused by MODY (INS-MODY) reported in previous studies.
Inclusion of diabetes plate method in Indian diabetes management guidelines-a public health imperative
Diabetes is a significant public health concern in India, with an estimated 77 million adults living with the disease in 2019.
Acarbose associated pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis: A case report
Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis is a rare intestinal disease characterized by single or multiple air cysts in the submucosa or subserosa of the intestinal wall. It is often accompanied by other gastrointestinal diseases. The clinical manifestations were nonspecific, and the diagnosis mainly depended on colonoscopy, imaging, and other auxiliary examinations.
