Aims: Our aim was to search for clinical predictors of good glycemic control in patients starting or intensifying oral hypoglycemic pharmacological therapy.
Methods: A multicenter, prospective cohort of 499 diabetic subjects was enrolled in this study: patients with newly diagnosed diabetes (NDM group) or poor glycemic control with oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) (PDM group). All subjects then started or intensified OADs therapy and followed up for 91 days.
Article Synopsis
- This study looked at whether a blood test called glycated albumin (GA) is better for checking blood sugar levels than another test called hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) for people starting treatment for type 2 diabetes.
- The researchers included new diabetes patients at hospitals in Beijing and checked their blood tests at different times after starting treatment.
- They found that both GA and HbA1c levels went down after treatment, and GA showed early changes that could help doctors decide if the treatment was working.
Background: The fat derived protein adiponectin plays an important role in the regulation of glucose metabolism. The aim of this study was to provide the experimental basis for further investigating on adiponectin (ADPN) function. Its eukaryotic recombinant was constructed and expressed in precursor cells of 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
