Serum selenium concentrations and diabetes in U.S. adults : National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003–2004 [PDF]
Background: Increasing evidence suggests that high selenium levels are associated with diabetes and other cardiometabolic risk factors. Objectives: We evaluated the association of serum selenium concentrations with fasting plasma glucose, glycosylated ...

Low testosterone level increases fasting blood glucose level in adult males
BACKGROUND Total testosterone (TT) levels in males decrease with age. There has been a vigorous debate on the extent to which low testosterone causally contributes to diabetes and its complications.

Preliminary evidence supports circulating microRNAs as prognostic biomarkers for type 2 diabetes. [PDF]
Background:Circulating microRNAs are emerging as potential prognostic biomarkers for the development of type 2 diabetes. However, microRNAs are also associated with complications from impaired glucose metabolism (e.g. endothelial cell function).

Comparative Effectiveness of DPP-4 Inhibitors Versus Sulfonylurea for the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes in Routine Clinical Practice: A Retrospective Multicenter Real-World Study [PDF]
Introduction: DPP-4 inhibitors (DPP4i) and sulfonylureas are popular second-line therapies for type 2 diabetes (T2D), but there is a paucity of real-world studies comparing their effectiveness in routine clinical practice. Methods: This was a multicenter

Fasting Blood Glucose and 2-h Postprandial Blood Glucose Predict Hypertension: A Report from the REACTION Study [PDF]
Although diabetes is associated with hypertension, whether high blood glucose levels promote hypertension remains controversial. In this study we compared the predictive power of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-h postprandial blood glucose (2hPG), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) for the development of hypertension.This study was a substudy of the ...

G6PC2 Modulates the Effects of Dexamethasone on Fasting Blood Glucose and Glucose Tolerance [PDF]
The glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit 2 (G6PC2) gene encodes an islet-specific glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit. G6PC2 forms a substrate cycle with glucokinase that determines the glucose sensitivity of insulin secretion. Consequently, deletion of G6pc2 lowers fasting blood glucose (FBG) without affecting fasting plasma insulin.

Comparison of Three Types of Low-calorie Diets on Blood Glucose and Lipid Control in Diabetic Patients [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Serum glucose levels can get close to a normal level by an appropriate diet. The present study aims to investigate the effect of low-calorie diets (1200, 1500, 1800 Kcal) on glucose and lipid levels, and HbA1C serum levels of newly diagnosed ...
