HbA1c, 1,5-anhydroglucitol, and fasting BG levels
are good predictors of T2DM in obese children, whereas HOMA-IR

of T2DM in insulin-resistant obese children (Pediatrics) |

Risk
factors for mortality and ischemic heart disease in patients
with long-term type 1 diabetes |
| |
Glycemic regulation, dyslipidemia, and renal

follow-up of long-term Danish type 1 diabetic patients. These results
underscore the better outcome for tightly regulated type 1 diabetic
patients, even in long-term survivors (Journal of Diabetes and
its Complication) |
