Effects of Diabetes on Ovarian Cancer: Data Analysis and Modeling Study
… Georgia. Oxygen saturation, tumor volume, blood glucose level, and cancer stage were gathered for each patient. The results contradicted the hypothesis; there was a negative correlation found between blood glucose level and tumor volume. More data is needed to determine if increased blood …

Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose: A Comparison of Diabetes Educator Instruction Versus Self-instruction
Over the past decade, self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) has become an increasingly important and widely accepted part of diabetes management (American Diabetes Association, 1985; Consensus Statement on SMGB, 1987; Wing, Epstein, Nowalk, Scott & Koeske, 1985; Wysocki, 1988). It is an important …

Diabetes Self-Management Through Educational Intervention
… exercise, and insulin is beneficial. As the blood glucose level measures control at a specific point in time, the glycosylated hemoglobin measures the level of control over days, weeks, and months. With the availability of standardized test procedures to ascertain control this study was …

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, …

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). …

Exercise and glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes
… bout of exercise will reduce post-prandial glucose levels in individuals with T2D. METHODS: We recruited 9 individuals with T2D who were not using exogenous insulin and were sedentary. The subjects consumed a eucaloric diet containing identical food components at each meal during two …

Changes of signal level detection in a resonant microwave cavity with varying concentrations of glucose
Diabetes is the body’s inability to control blood glucose levels and diabetes is a chronic disease, which is a major threat to public health. Traditionally, the measurement of glucose was achieved using invasive (skin piercing) methods which causes pain and damage to skin. A non-invasive device to …

Mathematical modelling of blood glucose for short-term diabetes therapy (using artificial neural networks)
… major global health issue. Proper control of the blood glucose level (BGL) is very important. Insulin type, dose, stress levels, diet, exercise, height to weight ratio, metabolism rate, etc. all affect the BGL. Sometimes, inconsistency in measurement of the BGL values by the patient or the …

Is Marital Status A Determinant Of Self-Monitoring Of Blood Glucose?
… with diabetes mellitus (DM). Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is a technique used achieve glycemic control by revealing day-to-day changes in blood glucose levels. Since marriage protective effects have been shown for mortality, especially for men, it is useful to determine whether a …

Diabetes Mellitus Glucose Prediction by Linear and Bayesian Ensemble Modeling
… Mellitus is a chronic disease of impaired blood glucose control due to degraded or absent bodily-specific insulin production, or utilization. To the affected, this in many cases implies relying on insulin injections and blood glucose measurements, in order to keep the blood glucose level …
