Filter by:This study aims to assess the corneal damage after phacoemulsification and to assess the factors causing it in diabetics in comparison with non-diabetics.
This study aims to verify the effects of resistance training on neuromuscular, vascular and functional adaptations of elderly diabetics type 2. Half of participants will be the intervention group that will perform resistance training, while the other half will be the control group that will perform stretching sessions.
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from an autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells within the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. This process is identified by circulating islet autoantibodies to beta cell antigens, and is mediated by a lack of immunological self-tolerance. Self-tolerance is achieved by T cell exposure to antigen in the thymus or periphery in a manner that deletes autoreactive effector T cells or induces regulatory T cells. Immunological tolerance can be achieved by administration of antigen under appropriate conditions. Administration of oral insulin in islet autoantibody-negative children who are genetically predisposed for T1D offers the potential for inducing immunological tolerance to beta cells and thereby protect against the development of islet autoimmunity and T1D.
The standard method for determining the carbohydrate content of a meal in patients with diabetes mellitus is the weighing of individual foods. However, in daily life, the weighing is not practical at all times. Inaccurate estimation of meal's CHO content, leads to wrong insulin doses and consequently to poor postprandial glucose control. Fact is that even well trained diabetic individuals find it difficult to estimate CHO precisely and that especially meals served on a plate are prone to false estimations underlining an emergent need for novel approaches to CHO estimation. GoCarb is a computer vision-based system for calculating the carbohydrate content of meals. In a typical scenario, the user places a credit card-sized reference object next to the meal and acquires two images using his/her smartphone. A series of computer vision modules follows: the plate is detected and the different food items on the plate are automatically segmented and recognized, while their 3D shape is reconstructed. On the basis of the shape, the segmentation results and the reference card, the volume of each item is then estimated. The CHO content is calculated by combining the food types with its volumes, and by using the USDA nutritional database. Finally, the results are displayed to the user. A preclinical study using the GoCarb system indicates that the system is able to estimate the meal's CHO content with higher accuracy than individuals with T1D. Furthermore, the feedback gathered by the participants showed that the system is easy to use even for non-smartphone users. The aim of this randomized, cross-over pilot study is to investigate the benefits of an automated determination of the carbohydrate content of meals on glycemic control in subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus with sensor-augmented insulin pump therapy.
Meal composition is important for blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes. The aim of this study is to investigate if a meal composition of fat, protein and carbohydrate is important for the hormonal and inflammatory responses Patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes and healthy controls will be included in the study. At four different occasions the participants will receive lunch with the same amount of calories but different composition of fat, protein, carbohydrate and fiber. Blood samples will be taken before and after the meals. The participants will estimate their satiety. In addition participant will fill in questionnaires about their food habits and wellbeing. This study is the first study to compare both hormonal and inflammatory responses, as well as psychological aspect of the meals, after meals with different composition. Results from this study will help to make recommendation about meal composition which is beneficial for patients with diabetes type 1 and type 2.
The aim of the present study were 1) to determine the role of these adipokines in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease, inflammation and tissue destruction comparing with gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels of TNF-α, which has a known pro-inflammatory effect in periodontal disease, 2) to investigate the effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment on GCF vaspin and omentin levels in type 2 diabetic (T2DM) patients with Chronic Periodontitis (CP).
The aim of the current study was to compare the effects of three ready-to-eat mixed meals, with a high fiber content and low glycemic index, on postprandial glycemic and insulinemic response in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Our aim was to determine the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in a nation-wide population based cohort from Spain (di@bet.es study). The target was the Spanish population. The sample consisted of 5072 people older than 18 years, in 100 clusters (health centres randomly selected from all over Spain). The following variables were recorded: Socio-demographic and clinical data, survey on habits (physical activity and frequency of selected food consumption) and a physical examination was made (weight, height, waist, hip, blood pressure). A fasting blood draw and an oral glucose tolerance test were performed. Determinations of serum glucose were made. In the follow-up the same variables were collected and HbA1c was determined. A total of 2408 subjects participated in the follow-up (7.5±0.6 years, 39.7% men). In total, 154 people developed diabetes (6.4% cumulative incidence in the 7.5 years of follow-up). The incidence of total diabetes adjusted for the structure of age and sex of the Spanish population was 11.6 cases/1000 person-years (IC95%=11.1-12.1). The incidence of known diabetes was 3.7 cases/1000 person-years (IC95%=2.8-4.6) and the incidence of unknown diabetes was 7.9 cases/1000 person-years (IC95%=5.3-8.1). The main risk factors for developing diabetes were the presence of prediabetes in cross-sectional study, age, male sex, obesity, central obesity, increase in weight, and family history of diabetes. This work provides data about population-based incidence rates of diabetes and associated risk factors in a nation-wide cohort of Spanish population.
It will be selected 1274 subject older than 40 years of the population of Cabra in order to realize a sociodemographic and habits (toxic, food, of physical activity) survey. It will be realized a physical exploration including anthropometry, blood pressure, oral glucose tolerance test, blood extractions (basal and after 120 ' of the OGTT). Several biochemical determinations will be realized (p.e. marker of fat intake and marker of inflammation) The proposed intervention consists of a series of clinical visits and phone calls programmed with the aim to change the dietetic and physical activity habits of people. The Pizarra study (financed with other grants and realised with the same methodology) will be use as cohort control. Though the basic aim of the project is to achieve a reduction of the of diabetes incidence with a hygienic - sanitary intervention, the ambition of knowing the major number of possible factors that can participate in this process constitutes a complex project capable of analyzing the problem from diverse points of view. Endocrinologists (of two Andalusian hospitals), clinical biochemists, geneticists and dietitians they join in this project to approach an integral way the etiopathogeny of the diabetes type 2.
To compare glycemic control and treatment satisfaction using a novel bolus insulin patch (Finesse) versus a pen for initiating and managing bolus insulin dosing in patients with T2DM not achieving glycemic targets on basal insulin with/without anti-hyperglycemic agents.
