... Abstract There is a large bulk of evidence that using low glycemic index (GI) foods has avery significant impact on the amelioration of metabolic disturbances observed indiabetic and/or hyperlipidemic patients and in subjects affected by the metabolicsyndrome. Studies bringing convincing...

.... However, there is a lack of acute intervention studies assessing what type of breakfast is optimal for cognitive performance. In this paper, the impact of breakfast-based glycemic response on cognition in children will be reviewed. The data suggest that a more stable blood glucose profile which avoids...

... Abstract Background: For diabetes patients without nephropathy, glycemic control is important to reduce the risk or delay the progression of diabetes complications, including nephropathy. In diabetes patients on hemodialysis, good glycemic control is necessary to improve prognosis. Many...

... intake (% of total energy) of 51.0 ± 4.7% per meal, indicating they did not consume a low-carbohydrate diet. Key Messages: At present, there is no literature on carbohydrate counting performed by dialysis patients. Carbohydrate counting is a useful method of dietary management for glycemic control...

... and cerebrovascular (CBV) benefits beyond those attributable to glycemic control, making the class an attractive therapeutic option. However, the mechanisms whereby the various classes of incretin-based therapies exert CV and CBV benefits may be distinct and may not necessarily lead to similar outcomes...

... of preventing the development and progression of earlier stage CKD in people with diabetes. Inadequate glycemic control has been associated with poor outcomes in diabetes, with early observational studies suggesting that tighter glycemic control may improve microvascular and macrovascular outcomes in patients...

... Abstract Background: Correcting postprandial hyperglycemia forms an important part of theprevention and management of type 2 diabetes. Methods: A low-glycemic-index liquid formuladesignated as Inslow was prepared by replacing dextrin in the standard balanced formula(SBF) with 55.7% palatinose...

... Abstract The glycemic index concept owes much to the dietary fiber hypothesis that fiberwould reduce the rate of nutrient absorption and increase the value of carbohydratefoods in the maintenance of health and treatment of disease. However, properties andcomponents of food other than its fiber...

... Abstract There is debate among professionals regarding the use of the glycemic index (GI) formeal planning. In type-1 diabetes, there are 4 studies (average duration ∼4 weeks) comparinghigh versus low GI diets; none reported improvements in HbA1c, and although 2reported improvements...

... Abstract Technology is increasingly proving beneficial in helping patients with diabetes achieve better glycemic control with less hypoglycemia. However, there are little data during pregnancy. Old randomized trials using insulin pump during pregnancy have not shown improvements in glycemic...

... encouraged in addition to maternal glycemic control in order to identify which fetuses are at increased or decreased risk for complications, so as to guide maternal therapy. The present chapter reviews the role of the ultrasound scan in the diabetic pregnancy, focusing on the use of US for the identification...

... Abstract Numerous drugs with different mechanisms of action and different pharmacologic profiles are being used with the aim of improving glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. The therapeutic options for patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are limited...
