Glucose tolerance test

Diabetes is a metabolic disease. 100 million people in the world are affected by diabetes[diabetes [1] and isit’s the cause of 1.1 million deaths every year, 80% of which found in lower and middle income countries [2]. Now 32.7 million diabetic patientpatients an estimated in India and this amount is expected to twisetwice by 2025. Prevalence is expected to double worldwide in next 20 years[years [3] and enlarged by 150% in lower and middle income countries [2][3][4]. A same situation having in…

experiments were performed in accordance with the guidelines established by the Animal Ethics Committee of Wonkwang University, and this experiment was approved by the committee (Approval No. WKU15-101). To evaluate the effect of BGE on fasting blood glucose levels, C57BL/6J (dbdb) 30 mice (20 –25g, 4 weeks, male Lepr(+/+)) and C57BL/6J (dbh) 10 mice (20–25g, 4 weeks, male Lepr(+/-)) were used as the animal model. All the animals were purchased from SAMTACO (Osan, Korea) All the experiments in…

Gaurav et al. have demonstrated the efficacy of mefloquine in diabetes and associated cardiovascular complications through measuring various parameters. However, mefloquine doesn’t impart noticeable protection against diabetes and associated cardiovascular complications except glycemic index, TBARS and protein carbonyl content. Moreover, it is well known that oxidative stress was higher in diabetes condition which was observed by decreased levels of antioxidant enzyme levels in the present study…

To detect and compare salivary glucose with plasma glucose level and PPBS(Postprandial ) and FBS (Fasting blood sugar) in diabetic and non-diabetic subjects. Material and Method: A total of 100 patients were participated in the study. They were divided into 2 groups, each group consist of 50 patients. Unstimulated saliva and blood were collected and investigated for glucose levels. Results and conclusion: FBS, PPBS, Plasma glucose levels and salivary glucose levels were higher in diabetic…

Blood sugar Why test his blood sugar level? Some diseases, such as diabetes, can cause damage to the pancreas, which affects insulin production negatively. The symptoms are often very weak. Many people may have the disease for a long time without knowing of it, and most have no symptoms at all. With this test, you will quickly find out if you have an elevated blood sugar level, which can be a sign of diabetes. The faster the disease down the faster the right treatment. How is the test…

To reduce this weight gain insulin doses needs to be gradually reduced until the optimal plasma glucose levels are achieved and avoid unhealthy snacks to control glucose levels without inducing weight gain (5). According to an article,Insulin-associated weight gain in diabetes--causes, effects and coping strategies,indicated that insulin-associated weight gain in diabetes is due to…

Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders, which share the common feature of present high levels of blood glucose (source of energy for the body; hyperglycemia) or chronic persistent; if these levels are too high or too low it can lead to acute complications that have to resolve quickly. Elevated levels maintained for a long time and cause blood glucose levels damaging arteries throughout the body, long-term deterioration and alter various organs, especially eyes, kidneys, nerves,…

GP appointments after treatment the creatinine was at the patient’s average again. Diagnosis and discussion DKA usually is diagnosed by a laboratory glucose that is greater than 11 mmol/L, a blood gas with a pH below 7.3, bicarbonate lower than 20 mmol/L and a positive result for ketones in the urine. In figure 1 it shows the patient’s blood glucose is 55.3 mol/L, the pH is…

blood test, this kind of test measures level of sodium, potassium, ACTH, and cortisol. It can decided if it is adrenal deficiency, and if antibodies associated with the disease are in the blood. Another is an ACTH stimulation test, this is where a dose of synthetic ACTH is injected to see if cortisol can be produced; if not then the adrenal glands are damaged. There is also the insulin-induced hypoglycemia test, where blood sugar and cortisol levels are tested. The final test is an imaging test,…

Diabetes is a condition in which a person's body is unable to produce any or enough insulin, which leads to elevated levels of sugar in the blood. Having diabetes can limit the ways in which individuals stay active but there are many ways to overcome these limitations. There are two types of diabetes; type one and type two diabetes. In type one diabetes an individual’s body does not produce any insulin. This is most commonly diagnosed in children and young adults and is contracted through an…
