Evidence
for inter-individual heterogeneity in the glucose gradient across
the human RBC membrane and its relationship to hemoglobin glycation |
| |
The data demonstrate inter-individual heterogeneity
in glucose gradients across RBC membranes which may affect Hb glycation
and have implications for diabetes complications risk and risk
assessment (Diabetes) |

Call
to rethink child BMI testing |

The
Metabolic Syndrome and Incident Diabetes: Current State of the
Evidence |
| |
The metabolic syndrome, however defined, is
associated more strongly with incident diabetes than previously
demonstrated for coronary heart disease. Its clinical value for
diabetes prediction remains uncertain (Diabetes Care) |

Risk
prediction of cardiovascular disease in type 2 diabetes: A risk
equation from the Swedish National Diabetes Register |
| |
This more simplified risk equation enables 5-year
risk prediction of CVD based on easily available non-laboratory
predictors in clinical practice and HbA1c, elaborated in a large
observational study obtained from the normal patient population
with age up to 70 years (Diabetes Care) |

The
Neuropad test may help to screen patients with diabetic neuropathy |
| |
These results suggest that patients with diabetic
neuropathy may be screened with the Neuropad test (American Diabetes
Association) |

New
Molecular Trigger Described for Hypertension, Diabetes |
