<h4>Aim</h4>Though diabetes is a risk factor for lung function impairment, whether the glycemic control level affects lung function in individuals with diabetes remains unclear. The present study aimed to assess the association between glycemic control level and restrictive or obstructive lung function impairment in individuals with diabetes.<h4>Methods</h4>This cross-sectional study included 1028 individuals with diabetes, aged 40-69 years, who underwent a medical checkup between April 2008 and ...[more]

Project description:Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) a chronic characterized by an absolute insulin deficiency requires conscientious patient self-management to maintain glucose control within a normal range. Family cohesion and adaptability, positive coping strategies, social support and adequate self-regulatory behavior are found to favorably influence glycemic control. Our hypothesis was that the responsible care of a companion animal is associated with these positive attributes and correlated with the successful management of a chronic illness such as type 1 diabetes. We recruited 223 youths between 9 and 19 years of age from the Pediatric Diabetes clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, reviewed the status of their glycemic control (using three consecutive A1c values) and asked them questions about the presence of a pet at home, and their level of involvement with its care. Multivariate analyses show that children who care actively for one or more pets at home are 2.5 times more likely to have control over their glycemic levels than children who do not care for a pet, adjusting for duration of disease, socio-economic status, age and self-management [1.1 to 5.8], pWald = 0.032. A separate model involving the care of a petdog only yielded comparable results (ORa = 2.6 [1.1 to 5.9], pWald = 0.023).

Project description:IntroductionType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and comorbid conditions require patients to take complex medication regimens. Greater regimen complexity has been associated with poorer T2DM management; however, the relationship between overall regimen complexity and glycemic control is unclear.ObjectivesOur objectives were: (1) to examine associations between regimen complexity (with the Medication Regimen Complexity Index [MRCI]) and glycemic control (A1C), and (2) to compare overall MRCI with other measures of regimen complexity (overall and diabetes-specific medication count) and diabetes-specific MRCI.MethodsThis was a secondary data analysis of cross-sectional data from a parent trial. Participants were patients with T2DM taking at least 3 chronic medications followed in safety net clinics in the Chicago area. The MRCI measures complexity based on dosing frequency, route of administration, and special instructions for prescribed medications. MRCI scores were created for overall regimens and diabetes-specific medications. Sociodemographics and outpatient visit utilization were included in models as covariates. Linear regression was used to examine the associations between variables of interest and hemoglobin A1C.ResultsParticipants (N = 432) had a mean age of 56.9 years, most were female (66.0%), and Hispanic or Latino (73.3%). Regimen complexity was high based on overall medications (mean = 6.6 medications, SD: 3.09) and MRCI (mean = 21.4, SD: 11.3). Higher diabetes-specific MRCI was associated with higher A1C in bivariate and multivariable models. In multivariable models, overall MRCI greater than 14, fewer outpatient health care visits, male gender, and absence of health insurance were independently associated with higher A1C. The variance in A1C explained by MRCI was higher compared to medication count for overall and diabetes-specific regimen complexity.ConclusionsMore complex regimens are associated with worse A1C and measuring complexity with MRCI may have advantages. Deprescribing, increasing insurance coverage, and promoting engagement in health care may improve A1C among underserved populations with complex regimens.

Project description:BackgroundWe analyzed hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and various lung function test results in healthy individuals after a 6-year follow-up period to explore the influence of lung function changes on glycemic control.MethodsSubjects whose HbA1c levels did not qualify as diabetes mellitus (DM) and who had at least two consecutive lung function tests were selected among the people who visited a health promotion center. Lung function parameters, including forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV/FVC ratio, and forced expiratory flow 25% to 75% (FEF25%-75%), were divided into four groups based on their baseline quantiles. To evaluate future DM onset risk in relation to lung function changes, the correlation between baseline HbA1c levels and changes in lung function parameters after a 6-year follow-up period was analyzed.ResultsOverall, 17,568 individuals were included; 0.9% of the subjects were diagnosed with DM. The individuals included in the quartile with FEV1/FVC ratio values of 78% to 82% had lower risk of DM than those in the quartile with FEV1/FVC ratio values of ≥86% after adjusting for age, sex, and body mass index (P=0.04). Baseline percent predicted FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC ratio, and FEF25%-75%, and differences in the FEV1/FVC ratio or FEF25%-75%, showed negative linear correlations with baseline HbA1c levels.ConclusionHealthy subjects with FEV1/FVC ratio values between 78% and 82% had 40% lower risk for future DM. Smaller differences and lower baseline FEV1/FVC ratio or FEF25%-75% values were associated with higher baseline HbA1c levels. These findings suggest that airflow limitation affects systemic glucose control and that the FEV1/FVC ratio could be one of the factors predicting future DM risk in healthy individuals.

Project description:Background/objectivesImproving glycemic control in older African Americans with diabetes and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is important as the population ages and becomes more racially diverse.DesignRandomized controlled trial.SettingRecruitment from primary care practices of an urban academic medical center. Community-based treatment delivery.ParticipantsOlder African Americans with MCI, low medication adherence, and poor glycemic control (N = 101).InterventionsOccupational therapy (OT) behavioral intervention and diabetes self-management education.MeasurementsThe primary outcome was a reduction in hemoglobin A1c level of at least 0.5% at 6 months, with maintenance effects assessed at 12 months.ResultsAt 6 months, 25 of 41 (61.0%) OT participants and 22 of 46 (48.2%) diabetes self-management education participants had a reduction in hemoglobin A1c level of at least 0.5%. The model-estimated rates were 58% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 45%-75%) and 48% (95% CI = 36%-64%), respectively (relative risk [RR] = 1.21; 95% CI = 0.84-1.75; P = .31). At 12 months, the respective rates were 21 of 39 (53.8%) OT participants and 24 of 49 (49.0%) diabetes self-management education participants. The model-estimated rates were 50% (95% CI = 37%-68%) and 48% (95% CI = 36%-64%), respectively (RR = 1.05; 95% CI = 0.70-1.57; P = .81).ConclusionBoth interventions improved glycemic control in older African Americans with MCI and poor glycemic control. This result reinforces the American Diabetes Association's recommendation to assess cognition in older persons with diabetes and demonstrates the potential to improve glycemic control in this high-risk population.

Project description:To assess glycated albumin (GA) as a potential glycemic index in managing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Eligible pregnant women were divided into the GDM group with abnormal result on a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and the control (normal) group. GA measurements, Pearson's correlation analysis, multiple logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis were obtained at the follow-up examination of participants in the two groups.A total of 2,118 women were assigned to the GDM group (n = 639) and control group (n = 1,479). The mean level of serum GA in GDM group was significantly greater than that in the control group at both 24-28 and 36-38 weeks of gestation (P < 0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for GA defining good glycemic control in GDM was 0.874 (95% confidence interval 0.811-0.938). The cut-off point for the GA levels derived from the receiver operating characteristic curve was 11.60%, which had sensitivity and specificity for detecting a poor glycemic status of 75.93% and 86.36%, respectively. The risk of birthweight ≥3,500 g and macrosomia increased significantly with GA levels ≥13.00% at 24-28 weeks and ≥12.00% at 36-38 weeks of gestation.GA might be an appropriate and conveniently measured index that can detect poor glycemic control and predict birthweights in GDM women.

Project description:Objective It is important to preserve the pancreatic ?-cell function in order to maintain good glycemic control for a long period. The aim of this study was to examine which factors are associated with the ?-cell function in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods A total of 372 subjects with type 2 diabetes who had been hospitalized for the amelioration of their glycemic control and/or education about diabetes in Kawasaki Medical School Hospital were included in this study. We evaluated the remnant ?-cell function as the HOMA-%? using the computer software program HOMA2 and estimated the glycemic fluctuation with the glycoalbumin (GA)/hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ratio. In addition, we divided the subjects into a relatively young group (<65 years old) (n=210) and an elderly group (?65 years old) (n=162) and performed several analyses in each group. Results The GA/HbA1c ratio, GA and HbA1c were independent determinant factors for the HOMA-%? regardless of age. We obtained almost the same results even after excluding those subjects using insulin secretagogues. These data suggest that the glycemic fluctuation and glycemic control are associated with the remnant ?-cell function in Japanese subjects with type 2 diabetes. Conclusion It is very important to reduce glycemic fluctuation as well as to maintain good glycemic control in order to preserve ?-cell function in subjects with type 2 diabetes.

Project description:We investigated the influence of aerobic capacity on the improvement in glycemic control achieved by long-term aerobic exercise in type 2 diabetes.Fifty-three male patients with type 2 diabetes, recruited from outpatient clinics, wore multiple-memory accelerometers and were instructed to exercise at moderate intensity for ≥30 min on ≥3 days per week over 12 months. Peak oxygen uptake (peak [Formula: see text]) and serum glycated albumin (GA) were measured at baseline and after 3, 6, 12 months. Peak [Formula: see text] data were expressed as percentages of predicted values.According to the number of bouts of exercise (intensity, ≥4 METs; duration, ≥15 min), the subjects were divided into inactive (<3 times per week) or active (≥3 times per week) groups. Serum GA decreased significantly after 3, 6, 12 months only in the active group. When the subjects were assigned to four groups according to initial peak [Formula: see text] (%pred) (low-fitness or high-fitness) and the number of bouts of exercise (active or inactive), serum GA decreased significantly after 3, 6, 12 months only in the high-fitness/active group. When the subjects were also assigned to four groups according to the change in peak [Formula: see text] (%pred) (improved or unimproved) and the number of bouts of exercise (active or inactive), serum GA decreased significantly after 3 and 12 months only in the improved/active group.The improvement in glycemic control achieved by aerobic exercise was associated with both the initial and the increase in peak [Formula: see text] during aerobic exercise.

Project description:Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has a very high impact on quality of life as it is characterized by disabling complications. There is little evidence about taste alterations in diabetes. Since many individual factors are involved in the onset of diabetes, the purpose of our study is to search a possible link between diabetes and individual taste function. Thirty-two participants with T2DM and 32 volunteers without T2DM (healthy controls) were recruited. Four concentrations of each of the four basic tastes (sweet, sour, salty, bitter), and pure rapeseed oil and water, were applied with cotton pads to the protruded tongue, immediately posterior to its first third, either to the left or right side. The results showed significant differences between groups in the ability to recognize sour, bitter, sweet, and water. Taste scores were lower in subjects with T2DM than in healthy controls, and an age-related decline in taste function was found. The taste function reduction associated with T2DM was not related to gender, disease duration, and glycemic control. In conclusion, it can be hypothesized that a general alteration of taste function can lead patients with type 2 diabetes to search for foods richer in sugars, as in a vicious circle, thus decreasing the likelihood of remission of diabetes mellitus.

Project description:(1) Background: Several studies have suggested that the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene plays a role in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) susceptibility. Nonetheless, the association between T2DM and VDR polymorphisms remains inconclusive. We determined the genotype of VDR rs1544410 (BsmI) and rs2228570 (FokI) polymorphisms among Malaysian patients with T2DM and their association with glycemic control factors (vitamin D levels, calcium, magnesium, and phosphate). (2) Methods: A total of 189 participants comprising 126 patients with T2DM (63 with good glycemic control and 63 with poor glycemic control) and 63 healthy controls were enrolled in this case-control study. All biochemical assays were measured using spectrophotometric analysis. VDR gene FokI and BsmI polymorphisms were analyzed using polymerase chain reaction and endonuclease digestion. (3) Results: Our findings revealed no significant differences in VDR FokI and BsmI genotypes between participants with T2DM and healthy controls. Moreover, no significant association was observed between both single nucleotide polymorphisms and glycemic control factors. Participants with poor glycemic control had significantly lower serum magnesium levels and significantly higher HOMA-IR compared to the other groups. (4) Conclusions: The present study revealed that VDR gene BsmI and FokI polymorphisms were not significantly associated with T2DM.

Project description:Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality largely due to increased cardiovascular disease risk. This study examined the relationships among protein consumption and sources on glycemic control and cardiovascular health in individuals with prediabetes and T2D. Sixty-two overweight or obese participants with prediabetes or T2D, aged 45-75 years were stratified into the following three groups based on protein intake: <0.8 g (gram)/kg (kilogram) body weight (bw), ≥0.8 but <1.0 g/kg bw, and ≥1.0 g/kg bw as below, meeting, and above the recommended levels of protein intake, respectively. Body mass, body mass index (BMI), hip circumference (HC), waist circumference (WC), lean mass, and fat mass (FM) were significantly higher in participants who consumed below the recommended level of protein intake as compared with other groups. Higher animal protein intake was associated with greater insulin secretion and lower triglycerides (TG). Total, low-density, and high-density cholesterol were significantly higher in participants who met the recommended protein intake as compared with the other groups. These data suggest that high protein consumption is associated with lower BMI, HC, WC, and FM, and can improve insulin resistance without affecting lipid profiles in this population. Furthermore, higher intake of animal protein can improve β-cell function and lower plasma TG.
