... factors influence the blood glucose level of diabetes patients on hemodialysis, such as factors associated with end-stage kidney disease and factors related to hemodialysis. Therefore, since glucose metabolism in diabetes patients on hemodialysis has unique characteristics, it is necessary to manage blood...

... Abstract Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is an integral component of diabetes care for patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). It is an essential tool for the improvement of glycemic control and to increase patient empowerment and adherence to treatment. The standard recommended...

... Abstract Background: Carbohydrate counting used in dietary therapy for diabetes is based on the concept that the postprandial rise in blood glucose levels is primarily affected by ingested carbohydrates. This method has been widely accepted and used since 1993, when its usefulness...

... Abstract This study investigated the effects of Tai Chi exercise on the levels of blood glucose,insulin and insulin receptors of patients with type 2 diabetes. Twelve subjects aged 58-75years old (66.5 ± 8.5 years) with type 2 diabetes participated in the study. They were trainedwith...

... Abstract Exercise in people with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) can produce large changes in blood glucose, with hypo- and hyperglycaemia before and following exercise. Different exercise types, intensity and duration have significantly different effects on blood glucose control, and on the endocrine...

... Abstract Today, all guidelines for the treatment of type 2 diabetes recommend the biguanide metformin as the first-line blood glucose-lowering agent. This was due to the encouraging results of the UK Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS). Previously, the long history of the guanidine derivatives...

... Abstract Exercise-induced hyperinsulinism (EIHI) is a rare disorder, which has so far only been described in two families as a dominantly inherited trait and in one isolated individual. It is characterized by hypoglycemia which is triggered most prominently by anaerobic exercise. Blood glucose...

... Abstract Elevated blood glucose associated with diabetes produces progressive and apparentlyirreversible damage to many cell types. Conversely, reduction of glucose extends life span inyeast, and dietary restriction reduces blood glucose. Therefore it has been hypothesized thatcumulative toxic...
