Background And Aims: Diabetes is a suitable model to evaluate intervention programmes aimed at chronic diseases, because of its well-defined and measurable process and outcome indicators. In this study, we aimed at investigating the effects of group based self-management education on clinical and psychological variables in type 2 diabetes.
Methods And Results: Four-year randomized controlled clinical trial (ISRCTN14558376) comparing Group Care and traditional one-to-one care.
Purpose: We examined the expression of a panel of epigenetic enzymes catalyzing histone tails post-transcriptional modifications, together with effectors of metabolic and inflammatory alterations, in type 2 diabetes.
Methods: Cross-sectional, case-control study of 21 people with type 2 diabetes and 21 matched controls. Total RNA was extracted from white cells and reverse transcribed.
Aims: To assess the independent role of severe hypoglycemia on 7-year cumulative incidence of prolonged QTc in a large cohort of patients with type 1 diabetes.
Methods: People with type 1 diabetes recruited by the EURODIAB Prospective Complications Study who had normal QTc were examined at baseline and after 7 years with standardized methods (n = 1415; mean age ± SD 32.1 ± 9.
Objective: To evaluate the predictive role of increased corrected QT (QTc) and QT interval dispersion (QTd) on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in a large, unselected type 2 diabetic population.
Research Design And Methods: The prospective study included 1,357 type 2 diabetic patients from the Casale Monferrato Study. At baseline, QTc intervals >0.
