Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is defined as glucose intolerance that occurs during pregnancy [1]. GDM is a widespread condition in Indian women during pregnancy affecting nearly 21 percent of all pregnancies [2, 3] nationwide. Prevalence of GDM in India differs from region to region, with 3.8% in Kashmir [4], 16.55% in Tamil Nadu [5], 7.7% in Maharashtra, 7.1% in Haryana [6], 19% in National Capital Region [3]. Epidemiological studies have confirmed the association of GDM with increased feto-maternal
occurs during pregnancy and caused by insulin resistance in the body. Risk factors of GDM include maternal age, ethnicity, family history, BMI, and deficiency of vitamin D. To be diagnosed with GDM, a woman must go through two screenings tests called the glucose challenge test and glucose tolerance test with high blood glucose results. Proper management such as a healthy diet, physical activity, and medications are needed to prevent complications for the mom and newborn. Complications include
Objective: There are some studies about the good effects of herbal drugs on blood glucose . This clinical trial was designed to evaluate the synergism effect of Peganum harmala,Quercus infectoria,Vaccinium myrtillus, Citrullos colocynthis, Securigera securidaca with different nature on blood glucose . Methods: Twenty qualified type 2 diabetic patients were enrolled in this cross over double- blinded clinical trial for receiving two months drug and also two months placebo. The subjects divided into
DIABETES: EZSCAN Evidence Based Practice Paper Diabetes EZSCAN Introduction . Diabetes is a very common chronic medial disorder and expected to be a big medical challenge of the twenty first century (Clark, 2004). It is a condition, in which the glucose level in the blood becomes so high that the body is unable to utilize it properly. This long-term condition results when the pancreas of the victim is either not able to produce enough insulin (sometimes even cannot produce any insulin) or the insulin
student will be able to determine the three levels of risk stratification and determine if medical supervision is needed in order to perform a maximal/submaximal test for each level. 2. The student will be able to summarize the overall findings of the case study and compare their results with their classmates.

Diabetes is a health condition that described with elevated level of glucose in the blood as a result of the body’s inability to produce any or not enough insulin causing hyperglycemia. In fact, diabetes is the sixth factor of causing in death in the U.S due to its correlation to cardiovascular diseases (Hummel& Schnell, 2009). Not to mention that diabetes has its health complication: Kidney failure, blindness, and lower limb amputations. In 2014, Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported
Article Summary: Love and Blood Glucose Levels Stanton, Campbell and Loving (2014) evaluated the effects of physically seeing a loved one on one’s immediate health, such as blood glucose levels. Past studies have concluded that being in a relationship does indeed produce stress responses (Loving, Heffner & Kiecolt-Glaser, 2006, as cited in Stanton, Campbell and Loving, 2014). However, the type of stress exhibited depends on the relationship; if it’s an unhealthy relationship, typically distress
from the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the European Association for the Study of Diabetes, and the International Diabetes Federation, released a report that recommended the use of Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) to diagnose diabetes (American Diabetes Association [ADA], 2013; International Expert Committee, 2009). HbA1c is a widely used marker of chronic glycemia, because it reflects an individual’s average blood glucose levels over a 2-3 month time period (ADA, 2013). Also, HbA1c is largely used as
that affects 90% of the diabetes patients. It is when the body does not recognize the insulin being produced by the pancreas, or not enough is produced. Insulin is a hormone that causes different cells to take up glucose for energy. Resistance to insulin causes the build up of glucose in the blood, which causes improper functions of cells and blood circulation, damage to nerves and blood vessels. The prevalence of type II diabetes is highest in African Americans among ethnic and racial groups.
efficiently. Since there is too much food in the modern advanced world, these same people would be more susceptible to diabetes2. Up regulation of insulin secretion take place in pancreas. Insulin is secreted in reaction to elevated blood concentrations of glucose. Insulin and its signaling systems are involved in both central and peripheral mechanisms of the nervous system, prevailing the ingestion, distribution, metabolism, and storage of nutrients in organisms ranging from animals to humans2.
