«These findings provide hope that long - term improvements in glucose control may alter the course of kidney disease in people with type 1 diabetes,» said JDRF program director Helen Nickerson, Ph.D. «This reinforces the importance of
improved glycemic control as we pursue novel therapies to slow or reverse loss of kidney function.»

«This study used InBody for visceral fat area (VFA), body fat mass (BFM), and percent body fat (% BF) and found that positive changes in VFA and
BFM improved glycemic control and lipid parameters, resulting in improved diabetic state and decreased cardiovascular risk.»

oil improves glycemic control in high fructose fed rats, and is postulated to be «an efficient nutraceutical in preventing the development of diet induced insulin resistance and associated complications possibly through its antioxidant efficacy» (Narayanankutty et al., 2016).

improved glycemic control for adolescents with higher levels of glycemic control at baseline.
Behavioral Family Systems Therapy for Diabetes sought to ameliorate family - level risk factors by focusing on problem - solving training to
improve glycemic control as measured by hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c; Carpenter, Price, Cohen, Shoe, & Pendley, 2014).
More recently, two randomized control trials of high - intensity strength training by Dunstan et al. [18] and Castaneda et al. [19], with the latter representing the parent study from which the present investigation has been derived; have shown that long - term strength
significantly improves glycemic control and increases skeletal muscle mass.
A diet containing food rich in soluble and insoluble
fiber improves glycemic control and reduces hyperlipidemia among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

improve glycemic control, helping to normalize blood sugar levels (6).
Liraglutide (1.2 and 1.8 mg) is exclusively marketed globally under the brand name Victoza ® for the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes to
improve glycemic control.

improve glycemic control have not been successful,» said Simonson.
Exercise - induced improvements in glycemic control are dependent on the pre-training glycemic level, and although moderate - intensity aerobic exercise can
improve glycemic control, individuals with ambient hyperglycemia (high blood glucose) are more likely to be nonresponders, according to a research letter by Thomas P. J. Solomon, Ph.D. of the Centre of Inflammation and Metabolism, Copenhagen, Denmark, and colleagues.
