This study examined β-cell function and insulin resistance (homeostasis model assessment-insulin [HOMA-IR]) in Asian Indian youth with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM-Y) prediabetes.Eighty-two subjects non-insulin-requiring age of onset below 25 years were recruited within 18 months diagnosis compared age- sex-matched prediabetes (n=31) normal glucose tolerance (NGT) (n = 83). Body mass index (BMI) waist circumference measured, blood samples taken the fasting state after 30, 60, 90, 120 min...
The aim of the study was to evaluate usefulness capillary blood glucose (CBG) for diagnosis gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in resource-constrained settings where venous plasma (VPG) estimations may be impossible. Consecutive pregnant women (n = 1031) attending antenatal clinics southern India underwent 75-g oral tolerance test (OGTT). Fasting, 1- and 2-h VPG (AU2700 Beckman, Fullerton, CA) CBG (One Touch Ultra-II, LifeScan) were simultaneously measured. Sensitivity specificity estimated...

Several studies point to mobile health initiatives delivered through personal smart devices being a promising approach prevention, weight loss. The aim the (mDiab) trial was twofold: achieve 5% loss look association with degree engagement mDiab app. Methods: randomized control carried out among smartphone users who are risk T2D mellitus in...
Several animal studies have shown a protective effect of helminth infections against type-1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). However, epidemiologic demonstrating this relationship with T1DM are largely lacking, although an inverse correlation between the prevalence lymphatic filariasis (LF) and allergies autoimmunity has been shown. A cross-sectional study was undertaken in southern India to assess baseline seropositivity LF among persons (n = 200) normal glucose tolerant (NGT) 562). The 0% 2.6%...
