Filter by:This study provides participants with two diets that vary in their glycaemic index values (low vs. high), whilst also measuring cognitive performance and mood.
This study provided 24 healthy subjects with two diets that varied in their glycaemic index values. One condition was a low GI diet, whilst the other was a high GI diet. Glucose concentrations and mood were measured throughout each test day.
Hyperglycemia is present in 50 percent of patients with acute ischemic stroke. Patients with hyperglycemia have higher in hospital, 30 and 90 day mortality and morbidity. Sixty percent of these patients have some form of diabetic syndrome, known or unknown. Remaining 40% of patients are not diabetic. Contrary to logic patients with non diabetic hyperglycemia (NDH) have statistically higher morbidity and mortality compared to the diabetic hyperglycemia (DH) cohort. So far multiple treatment trials (THIS, GRASP, GIST-UK, SHINE ongoing) with differing treatment goals have shown no clear benefit, however no obvious distinction was made along the diabetic and non-diabetic hyperglycemic groups. If hyperglycemia in the acute phase was the only culprit in worsening the injury, then there should be no difference in the outcomes for DH and NDH. Existing data implies that the two categories are two distinct physiological entities that are thus not amenable to same treatment. Stating it simply NDH is not an insulin deficient state where as DH is. Alternative possibility is that body and Neurons are accustomed to high sugars in diabetics and thus can tolerate higher sugars better during ischemic stroke compared to non diabetics. The overarching hypothesis is that reducing blood sugars in NDH increases stroke volume and thus consequently worsens outcome.
The study is a prospective, observational study of adult, non-cardiac, non-obstetric, elective surgical patients conducted over a period of one week. This large-scale clinical audit aims to assess the incidence rates of anaemia and hyperglycaemia amongst elective surgical patients in the Western Cape. A study such as this is essential in the assessment of the incidence rates of abnormal fasting blood glucose levels and reduce the risk of perioperative complications for patients. Preoperative anaemia is a modifiable risk factor and should be identified early and treated appropriately to improve patient outcomes.
The PATHWAYS for Health Equity research program builds on the 5-year FORGE AHEAD Indigenous diabetes quality improvement research program (2013 - 2017). PATHWAYS for Health Equity, a 3-year research program (2017 - 2019), is a great opportunity to continue our important collaborative diabetes quality improvement research with an increasing number of Indigenous partnering communities and researchers and key stakeholders (collaborators, policymakers and knowledge-users). Four partnering First Nations communities will join the Pathways program to develop community-driven quality improvement initiatives championed by a Community Facilitator and supported by a Community Data Coordinator.
Sweetch is a personalized mobile-health platform coaching system (mobile phone app) designed to promote adherence to physical activity guidelines for people with prediabetes.
This is a pilot study designed to determine if the bihormonal bionic pancreas provides improved blood glucose control, compared to the current standard of care, in individuals with hyperinsulinism who developed diabetes after having a pancreatectomy.
This study will determine whether exposure to short-term high blood glucose levels impairs exercise-induced adaptations in glucose tolerance, and whether the pattern of high blood glucose levels plays a role.
Periodontitis patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus will receive non-surgical periodontal treatment and then be supplemented with daily 500 mg vitamin C (test group) or placebo (control group) for 2 months. Clinical parameters will be retrieved at baseline, at the end of week 4 and at the end of week 8.
