Rosiglitazone-associated fractures in type 2 diabetes: an Analysis from A Diabetes Outcome Progression Trial (ADOPT).
...Published in Diabetes care
The purpose of this study was to examine possible factors associated with the increased risk of fractures observed with rosiglitazone in A Diabetes Outcome Progression Trial (ADOPT). Data from the 1,840 women and 2,511 men randomly assigned in ADOPT to rosiglitazone, metformin, or glyburide for a median of 4.0 years were examined with respect to ti...
Effect of supervised progressive resistance-exercise training protocol on insulin sensitivity, glycemia, lipids, and bod...
Published in Diabetes care
Moderate-intensity PRT for 3 months resulted in significant improvement in insulin sensitivity, glycemia, lipids, and truncal and peripheral SCAT in patients with type 2 diabetes. Resistance training should be an integral part of exercise regimen in Asian Indians with type 2 diabetes.
Randomized efficacy trial of early preconception counseling for diabetic teens (READY-girls).
Published in Diabetes care
Clinical feasibility of the program was demonstrated. Both the CD and the book appeared to be efficacious formats for the short term. Future studies should examine repeated boosters of a CD and a book, which are not meant to replace but rather to reinforce and supplement health professional education.
Longitudinal association of glucose metabolism with retinopathy: results from the Australian Diabetes Obesity and Lifest...
Published in Diabetes care
The 5-year incidence of retinopathy was 13.9% among individuals with known diabetes. Nondiabetic individuals with retinopathy signs at baseline had a twofold higher risk of developing incident newly diagnosed diabetes 5 years later. This result provides further evidence that mild retinopathy signs may be a preclinical marker of underlying microvasc...
Long-term follow-up of oral glucose tolerance test-derived glucose tolerance and insulin secretion and insulin sensitivi...
Published in Diabetes care
Glucose tolerance can remain stable over many years in subjects with MODY2 due to the relative stability of the GCK-related beta-cell defect. However, the development of insulin resistance may have an important role in the deterioration of the glucose tolerance and in the long-term evolution of the disorder.
Cost-effectiveness of intensified versus conventional multifactorial intervention in type 2 diabetes: results and projec...
Published in Diabetes care
To assess the cost-effectiveness of intensive versus conventional therapy for 8 years as applied in the Steno-2 study in patients with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria. A Markov model was developed to incorporate event and risk data from Steno-2 and account Danish-specific costs to project life expectancy, quality-adjusted life expectancy (QALE...
Preventing left ventricular hypertrophy by ACE inhibition in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes: a prespecified ...
Published in Diabetes care
In patients with type 2 diabetes, left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) predicts cardiovascular events, and the prevention of LVH is cardioprotective. We sought to compare the effect of ACE versus non-ACE inhibitor therapy on incident electrocardiographic (ECG) evidence of LVH (ECG-LVH). This prespecified study compared the incidence of ECG-LVH by Sok...
Dietary patterns and A1C in Japanese men and women.
Published in Diabetes care
Dietary patterns in Western populations have been linked to type 2 diabetes, but the role of diet in Japanese remains unclear. We investigated the association between major dietary patterns and glucose tolerance status as measured by A1C in Japanese adults. The groups of subjects were comprised of 3,243 men and 4,667 women who participated in the b...
