Observation of the effect of one-to-one education on high-risk cases of diabetic foot.

Background: Diabetes is a common chronic disease, and its global incidence is on the rise. The disease is directly attributed to insufficient insulin efficacy/secretion, and patients are often accompanied by multiple complications. Diabetic foot is one of the most common complications of diabetes.

[Accuracy of a continuous glucose monitoring system in detection of blood glucose during oral glucose tolerance test].

Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) during oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in the detection of blood glucose changes in glucose stress condition.

Methods: Forty-nine out-patients with fasting plasma glucose of 3.9-11.

[Effect of short-term intensive therapy with glimepiride and metformin in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients].

Objective: To evaluate the effect of short-term intensive therapy on blood glucose control, BETA-cell function, and blood lipid levels in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients.

Methods: Out-patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients were enrolled for intensive treatment with sulfonylureas and metformin for 12 weeks, and the therapeutic effect was evaluated.

Results: After the intensive treatment, FPG, 2 hPG, and HbA1c decreased significantly (P<0.

[Epidemiological investigation of diabetes and prediabetes in community residents in the suburbs of Guangzhou].

Objective: To identify the prevalence and risk factors of diabetes and prediabetes in the community residents above 18 years old in the suburbs of Guangzhou.

Methods: Between April and May in 2008, the residents above 18 years living in 6 communities of Guangzhou for 5 or more years were sampled with multistage clustering sampling. The sampled residents were surveyed by questionnaires, and physical examination and glucose determination were carried out.

[Association of blood glucose fluctuation with the pain sensation in patients with painful diabetic neuropathy].

Objective: To investigate the relationship between blood glucose fluctuation and the pain sensation in patients with painful diabetic neuropathy.

Methods: The severity of pain in 16 patients with painful diabetic neuropathy was assessed using visual analog scale (VAS), and according to the results, the patients were divided into mild to moderate pain group and severe pain group. The blood glucose of the patients were monitored continuously for 72 h using a continuous glucose monitoring system, and the MBG, SD, DMMG, MAGE, and AUCPG were obtained with the FBG and HbA1C tested.

[Association of serum interleukin-6 and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels with insulin resistance in gestational diabetes mellitus].

Objective: To investigate the association of serum concentration of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) with insulin resistance in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Methods: Forty normal pregnant women (NGT group) and 23 women with GDM (GDM group) were enrolled in this study with another 25 women of child-bearing age as the control group. Radio immunoassay (RIA) was used to measure the fasting serum IL-6 levels, and immunoturbidimetry performed to evaluate serum hs-CRP levels.
