[Composition of macronutrients in the diabetic diet].

The diabetic diet is one of the pillars of diabetes treatment. The rapid development of knowledge relating to the treatment of diabetes also includes diet. The paper focuses on the importance of a diet in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and prevention of atherosclerosis.

[Treatment of elderly diabetic patients].

Type 2 diabetes has become a pandemic disease over the past 50 years. Its incidence increases the most rapidly in the senior population, i.e.

Influence of physiological and supraphysiological hyperinsulinemia on skin microcirculation in healthy volunteers.

Aim: To examine skin perfusion in dependency on insulinemia in healthy subjects.

Methods: All volunteers were informed in detail about the procedures and signed informed consent. The protocol of this study was approved by the ethical committee.

Influence of physical activity on metabolic state within a 3-h interruption of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion in patients with type 1 diabetes.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of physical activity on blood glucose, insulinemia, and ketone bodies level during interruption of insulin delivery.

Methods: We enrolled 12 patients with type 1 diabetes (men with an average age of 33.4±8.

The influence of insulin pump treatment on metabolic syndrome parameters in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Introduction: The aim of our study was to evaluate the influence of long-term insulin pump treatment (CSII) on the parameters of metabolic syndrome in insulin-resistant patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Patients And Methods: Thirteen obese (BMI>30) patients (8 women, 5 men), average age 58.8+/-9.

Influence of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy on atherogenesis and heart function in patients with type 1 diabetes.

Aim: Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) increases mortality of patients with type 1 diabetes (Type 1 DM). We set out to find out whether the presence of CAN in asymptomatic, normotensive Type 1 DM affects endothelial function (marker of atherogenesis) and left ventricle function (marker of cardiomyopathy).

Methods: Twenty-one Type 1 DM with CAN (Group A) and 35 Type 1 DM without CAN (Group B) were enrolled in the study.

Influence of fiber on glycemic index of enteral nutrition.

Background: Enteral nutrition is indicated in patients with malnutrition due to inadequate peroral intake. A number of these patients have diabetes mellitus or impaired glucose tolerance. The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of fiber-enriched enteral nutrition on postprandial glycemia and insulinemia.

Could we predict asymptomatic cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy in type 1 diabetic patients attending out-patients clinics?

Background And Aims: Diabetic cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. This complication may be asymptomatic for a long time. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence, severity and predictors of asymptomatic CAN in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1).
