- DIABETES: -Hyperinsulinemia in african-american adolescents compared with their american white peers despite similar insulin sensitivity
OBJECTIVE African-American (AA) children are hyperinsulinemic and insulin resistant compared with American white (AW) children. Previously, we demonstrated that insulin secretion relative to insulin ...
- DIABETES: -Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia
OBJECTIVE Recently, it has been suggested that insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia can exist in isolation and have differential impacts on cardiovascular disease (CVD). To evaluate this ...
- METABOLIC SYNDROME: -Association of intrauterine exposure to maternal diabetes and obesity with type 2 diabetes in youth

A study reveals today that inadequate blood sugar control in patients having heart surgery is associated with a four fold increase in post-surgery death and major complications - and that the blood ...
- GESTATIONAL DIABETES: - Elevated concentrations of retinol-binding protein-4 (RBP-4) in gestational diabetes mellitus: Negative correlation with soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1)
Abstract & Background. Retinol-binding protein-4 (RBP-4) may increase insulin resistance (IR) in animals, with elevated levels reported in humans with obesity and type 2 diabetes. There are, ...
- DIABETES: - Perindopril/indapamide reduces renal disease in diabetics
A new analysis from the blood-pressure-lowering part of the ADVANCE trial in patients with type 2 diabetes shows that the fixed-dose combination antihypertensive: perindopril/indapamide (Servier) ...
- DIABETES: - No apparent local effect of insulin on microdialysis continuous glucose- monitoring measurements
OBJECTIVE— Data investigating the possible disturbing influence of insulin in the vicinity of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is lacking. We investigated the hypothesis that high local insulin ...
- DIABETES: - Screening for depressive symptoms
OBJECTIVE We determined the reliability and validity of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) against the DSM-IV–based diagnostic inventory, Schedule for Clinical Assessment ...
- TYPE 1 DIABETES & INSULIN'S : - Treatment satisfaction and quality of life with insulin glargine plus insulin lispro compared with NPH insulin plus unmodified human insulin in individuals with type 1 diabetes
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare quality of life (QoL) and treatment satisfaction using insulin glargine plus insulin lispro with that using NPH insulin plus unmodified human ...
