For patients with diabetes, monitoring and controlling blood sugar levels are extremely important because having high blood glucose levels for extended periods of time can lead to a
host of diabetes complications.
A second, unrelated study that analyzed data from a cohort of people with type 1 diabetes in the Pittsburgh area, the Pittsburgh
Epidemiology of Diabetes Complications study (EDC), showed why it is so important to recognize depressive symptoms in people living with diabetes: Those who exhibit the highest level of depressive symptoms are most likely to die prematurely.
Molecular Aspects of Lipoic Acid in the
Prevention of Diabetes Complications Nutrition 2001 (Oct); 17 (10): 888 — 895 In experimental and clinical studies, LA markedly reduced the symptoms of diabetic pathologies, including cataract formation, vascular damage, and polyneuropathy.
In a logistic regression in which we adjusted for age, income, marital status, depression, medical comorbidity, and
number of diabetes complications, we found that patients with dismissing attachment remained significantly more likely to have HbA1c levels ≥ 8 % than patients with secure attachment (odds ratio 2.5, 95 % CI 1.1 — 6.0).
«In further studies we want to examine how different combination therapies affect the retinal proteins, in order to achieve a better understanding of the causes and
treatment of this diabetes complication,» added Dr. Stefanie Hauck (PROT).
Elbert S. Huang, M.D., M.P.H., of the University of Chicago, and colleagues compared
rates of diabetes complications and mortality across categories of age and how long a patient had diabetes.
There's good news: Controlling diabetes — which means keeping your blood sugar at healthy levels and reducing your
chances of diabetes complications ranging from heart disease to foot damage — is something that you can do.
Thus, we do not see the same frequency and
magnitude of diabetes complications such as peripheral vascular disease, diabetic peripheral and central neuropathy, kidney disease, cataracts, etc..
In the new study, a research team led by David M. Nathan, MD, of Massachusetts General Hospital, in Boston, looked at results from three large, long - term studies: the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT); its follow - up study, the Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC); and the Pittsburgh
Epidemiology of Diabetes Complications (EDC) study.
Age, income, marital status, level of depression, number of medical conditions, and
number of diabetes complications were significantly different between groups and were included as covariates in subsequent logistic regression.
«If you keep glucose levels near normal, you reduce the risk
of diabetes complications,» says Robert Ratner, MD, chief scientific and medical officer of the American Diabetes Association.
The Pittsburgh Epidemiology
of Diabetes Complications (EDC) study is an observational study of patients with T1DM from Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
Her policy does include a term conversion option; however, Eliza is now at a healthy weight, has normal blood glucose levels, and her risk
of diabetes complications is much lower.
