Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c ) and fasting plasma glucose relationships in sea-level and high-altitude settings
(Wiley, 2017)
AIM: Higher haemoglobin levels and differences in glucose metabolism have been reported among high-altitude residents, which may influence the diagnostic performance of HbA1c . This study explores the relationship between ...
Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose: Use, Frequency Drivers, and Cost in Argentina
(Wiley, 2014-11)
Background: Although test strips for self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) represent around 50% of diabetes treatment cost in Argentina, little is known about their current use and relationship with different types of ...
Association between blood glucose levels and autonomic symptoms in Peru
(Elsevier, 2022)
Aims: To determine whether there is an association between high blood glucose levels and having autonomic symptoms among adults aged 30–69 years. Material and methods: A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted. ...
Physiological endocrine control of energy homeostasis and postprandial blood glucose levels
(Verduci Editore, 2005-12)
The aim of this review is to analyze the different components and the feedback mechanisms involved in the normal control of energy homeostasis and postprandial blood glucose levels. Such control involves exogenous and ...
A1c as a diagnostic criteria for diabetes in low- and middle-income settings: Evidence from PERU
(Public Library of Science, 2011)
Objectives: To determine the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus, in three groups of Peruvian adults, using fasting glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin (A1C). Methodology/Principal Findings: This study included adults ...
Analysis and Design of a Microwave Coplanar Sensor for Non-Invasive Blood Glucose Measurements
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2020-09)
In this paper a design for a microwave sensor for the non-invasive measurement of blood glucose concentrations is proposed. The sensor is intended for usage as part of a non-invasive glucose-quantifying device. With this ...
Increased levels of serum γ-glutamyltransferase and uric acid on metabolic, hepatic and kidney parameters in subjects at high altitudes
(De Gruyter, 2014)
Background: Currently there are no studies on γ-glutamyltransferase (γGT) levels at high altitude or on the relationship between γGT, uric acid and several dysfunctions. The aim of the study was to determine the association ...
Effects of diabetes definition on global surveillance of diabetes prevalence and diagnosis: A pooled analysis of 96 population-based studies with 331 288 participants
(Elsevier, 2015)
Background: Diabetes has been defined on the basis of different biomarkers, including fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-h plasma glucose in an oral glucose tolerance test (2hOGTT), and HbA1c. We assessed the effect of different ...
Self-monitoring of blood glucose in type 2 diabetes: steps toward consensus
(American Diabetes Association, 2008-12)
Those involved in type 2 diabetes care must be puzzled by the lack of consensus on self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) (1,2,3), especially in non–insulin-treated patients. This is reflected by wide between-country ...
