Blood Glucose Control in Type 1 Diabetes With a Bihormonal Bionic Endocrine Pancreas

August 29th 2012

Genes for type 2 diabetes are they worth it?

August 29th 2012

A recent publication reported the identification of another ten genes which may predispose to type 2 diabetes (T2DM), bringing the current total to around fifty. However, the impact of these genetic studies from a clinical perspective remains minimal. Forty years after the discovery of the first genes involved in diabetes susceptibility, should we be querying the value of expensive ‘factory floor’ genetics?

Screening for pre-diabetes to predict future diabetes using various cut-off points for HbA1c and impaired fasting glucose

August 28th 2012

The combination of HbA1c 39–46 mmol/mol (5.7–6.4%) and fasting plasma glucose 5.6–6.9 mmol/l would have the best performance in reducing the likelihood of missing future cases of diabetes. Identifying pre-diabetic individuals who strictly fulfil HbA1c 42–46 mmol/mol (6.0–6.4%) and fasting plasma glucose 6.1–6.9 mmol/l would predict definite progression to diabetes (Diabetic Medicine)
