In a joint statement of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes and the American Diabetes Association [13] the authors pointed out that "The Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) has been recommended as a potential universal software report that could be adopted to standardize summary metrics among devices and manufacturers." They went on ...
Acronyms were first used to identify clinical trials in the 1970s. [5] The first identified instance was "UGDP", an initialism for University Group Diabetes Program. The first trial title commonly pronounced as an English-language word or words came in 1982 with the publication of "MRFIT", referring to the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial, and spoken as "Mr. Fit" or "the Mr. Fit trial".
This index correlates well with glucose clamp studies (r = 0.78), and is useful for measuring insulin sensitivity (IS), which is the inverse of insulin resistance (IR). It has the advantage of that it can be obtained from a fasting blood sample, and is the preferred method for certain types of clinical research.
Type 2 diabetes is a progressive condition in which the body becomes resistant to the normal effects of insulin and/or gradually loses the capacity to produce enough insulin in the pancreas. [2] Pre-diabetes means that the blood sugar level is higher than normal but not yet high enough to be type 2 diabetes. [3]
The Journal of Diabetes is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal that covers research, therapeutics, and education in the field of diabetes mellitus. It is published by Wiley and is an official journal of the Chinese Society of Endocrinology and endorsed by the Chinese Endocrinologist Association .
Diabetes and Vascular Disease Research is abstracted and indexed in, among other databases: SCOPUS, and the Social Sciences Citation Index.According to the Journal Citation Reports, its 2010 impact factor is 2.468, ranking it 27 out of 66 journals in the category "Peripheral Vascular Disease" [1] and 66 out of 116 journals in the category "Endocrinology & Metabolism".
Two types of clamp are quite commonly used. The hyperglycemic clamp, which requires maintaining a high blood sugar level by perfusion or infusion with glucose, is a way to quantify how fast beta-cells respond to glucose. The hyperinsulinemic clamp, which requires maintaining a high insulin level by perfusion or infusion with insulin, is a way ...
The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) is a scientific association founded in Montecatini Terme, Italy in 1965 with Joseph Hoet as Founding President. [1] The aims of the association are to encourage and support research in the field of diabetes , the rapid diffusion of acquired knowledge in that field, and to facilitate its ...
