Evaluating fear of hypoglycemia, pediatric parenting stress, and self-efficacy among parents of children with type 1 diabetes and their correlation with glycemic control.

This study was designed to determine the level of fear of hypoglycemia (FoH), pediatric parenting stress and selfefficacy in parents of children with type 1 diabetes (T1D). In this cross-sectional study, 61 families of children with T1D who had been diagnosed for at least 6 months recruited from "Gabric Diabetes Education Association" in Tehran. Sixty mothers and 41 fathers of 61 children (26 girls, age: 6.

Rocker outsole shoe is not a threat to postural stability in patients with diabetic neuropathy.

Background: Rocker outsole shoes are commonly prescribed to patients with diabetic neuropathy to offload a particular area of the foot sole, thereby decreasing the risk of foot ulceration. Contrary to this, some evidence has reported a postural destabilising effect of these shoes in healthy adults.

Objective: To explore the postural stability of patients with diabetic neuropathy who wear a rocker outsole shoe.

The effects of green tea consumption on metabolic and anthropometric indices in patients with Type 2 diabetes.

Background: This study aims at investigating the possible effects of different daily doses of green tea (GT) intake for eight weeks on certain anthropometric, metabolic, and oxidative stress biomarkers of diabetic patients.

Materials And Methods: This randomized clinical trial included 63 patients with type 2 diabetes (30 males and 33 females). After a two-week run-in period without green tea, they were randomly assigned into one of the three groups, with a different daily intake of green tea; four cups of green tea per day (n = 24), two cups of green tea per day (n = 25), and the control group (n = 14) with no green tea intake for two months.

Renal artery stenosis in hypertensive patients with or without type 2 diabetes: a comparative magnetic resonance angiography study.

Background: Increased prevalence of various vascular diseases is common in type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, the increased prevalence of renal artery atheroma resulting in renal artery stenosis in patients with diabetes mellitus has not been fully assessed. We used magnetic resonance angiography to assess the prevalence of renal artery stenosis in a group of patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus and compared them with a group of hypertensive patients without diabetes.
