Elevated Blood Glucose Levels in the Emergency Department: Missed Opportunity for Informing and Referring
… was to examine (1) the rates of elevated blood glucose ≥ 150 mg/dL in adults without a prior history of diabetes, receiving care for a non-diabetes related visit to the ED and (2) Emergency Department provider patterns for informing and referring discharged Emergency Department patients …

The role of biological rhythms and blood glucose levels in maintaining a positive mood state.
… for such an interaction on other variables. Blood sugar level is a major contributor to the mediation of mood and is easily regulated by dietary intervention; there is also evidence that it is influenced by both the menstrual and circadian cycles. The present research takes a positive …

The effects of hypoxis hemerocallidea on blood glucose levels in rats with Type 2 diabetes
… intraperitoneally after an overnight fast. The blood glucose levels were monitored in the diabetic and control rats at, 30, 60, 120, 180 and 240 minutes post injection. In the chronic study, the rats were randomly divided into 6 different groups (control, HFD, DM, DM-HH, DM-PTHH, and HH). …

Sow and piglet blood glucose levels over the farrowing period and relationships with sow and litter parameters
Low blood glucose levels in sows at the start of farrowing have been associated with increased farrowing duration and higher stillbirth rates and low blood glucose levels in piglets at birth have been linked to increased pre-weaning mortality. This study used 32 sows and gilts and 443 piglets in a …

Metabolic and hormonal responses in the regulation of blood glucose levels in infants delivered by elective caesarean section
… postnatal failures of expression of the hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase system suggest there are developmental deficiencies in the mechanism to ‘switch-on’ this key enzyme of gluconeogenesis at the time of birth in both preterm and term infants. The evidence for hormonal regulation of this critical …

An audit of the prevalence of abnormal fasting blood glucose levels in patients presenting for elective surgery at a selection of Western Cape government hospitals
… for DM was done using fingerprick capillary blood glucose (CBG) testing. Patients found to have a CBG of ≥ 6.5 mmol/L had an HbA1c level done. DM was diagnosed based on the Society for Endocrinology, Metabolism and Diabetes of South Africa (SEMDSA) diagnostic criteria. Patients known with DM …

BLOOD GLUCOSE MONITORING AND METABOLIC CONTROL IN YOUTH WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES: RELATION TO DISEASE CARE
… and may not accurately capture intricacies of blood glucose fluctuations. Youth then must rely on blood glucose levels obtained throughout the day to determine which disease care behaviors to perform to maintain optimal metabolic control. Youth may have difficulty performing these disease care …

Molecular Mechanisms by which a Grape Seed Procyanidin Extract Modulates Glucose Homeostasis
… that resulted in 5.1 million deaths in 2013. Blood glucose levels are tightly regulated in order to maintain metabolic homeostasis. The hormone insulin, after binding to the insulin receptor, initiates a well-established controlled metabolic signaling cascade that consequently lowers blood …

Determination, Treatment, and Prevention of Nocturnal Hypoglycemia in a Diabetes Camp Setting
… the effectiveness of an untested 10- and 24-hour blood glucose protocol in the determination, treatment, and prevention of nocturnal hypoglycemia in a camp setting. Subjects were 57 campers at a week long summer diabetes camp. Age of the subjects ranged from 8 to 15 years with a mean age of 11.7 …

The Bactericidal Activity of Human Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes Before and After the Ingestion of Glucose
… Subjects were given a dose of 100 grams of glucose. Two hours later a blood sample was drawn and incubated with Staphylococcus epidermidis for 120 minutes. There was no significant difference in the bactericidal activity of leukocytes of blood two hours following the ingestion of glucose …

Development and Microscaling of a Novel Glucose Biosensor for Application in a Minimally Invasive Sampling Platform
… Current treatment involves self-monitoring of blood glucose levels by analysis of a blood sample obtained by "finger-pricking". This suffers from non-compliance, and samples at a rate much lower than the Shannon frequency of blood glucose levels. The e-Mosquito provides near-painless sampling, …

Improving Management of Inpatient Blood Glucose
<p>Epidemiologic studies indicate blood glucose management in the hospitalized patient population is not adequate; with approximately 30% of patients reporting values >180mg/dl. Patients with increased blood glucose levels pose a higher mortality risk as well as increased risks for dehydration, …

ENDOTHELIAL- EPITHELIAL INTERACTIONS Blood vessels friends or foes?
… which are located in the pancreas, regulate blood glucose levels. The lack of insulin production requires administration of insulin. This is accomplished by insulin injections. Even though the treatment methods have been improved, we are still not able to artificially regulate the blood …

Improving Pediatric Type-1 Diabetes Mellitus Management in Rural Utah: A Case Study
… over 2 hours away from her home. Reported blood glucose levels average above 200 mg/dL, with a recent glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level of 10.3%. Previous blood glucose levels have reached an excess of 900 mg/dL. This study attempts to identify the beliefs of a rural T1DM adolescent …

Effect of Functional Starch in Brown Rice and Grain Sorghum on Plasma Glucose and Insulin Responses in Humans
… such as healthy-dietary carbohydrates to control blood glucose levels. Starch is a principle carbohydrate, which influences blood glucose levels, and measuring starch digestibility fractions can help predict the glucose response in the body. The objectives of this study were to investigate the …
