Different Insulin Initiation Regimens in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes - A Review Article

Mir Mudassir Ali , Khin Thida Aung, Meela Ali, VS Eligar, JS Davies and Madelein Young

Article Type: Review Article | Indexed Archive: Volume 5

The United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study has shown that beta-cell function declines over time, and insulin will be needed to achieve good glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Recent studies show that initiating insulin early, especially when HbA1c (Glycated haemoglobin) is > 9% improves glycaemic control and patient outcome....

Severe Kidney Damage in Diabetics on Alternative Medicine

Dalip Ragoobirsingh, Errol Morrison and Herbert Thompson

Article Type: Research Article | Indexed Archive: Volume 5

Thirteen diabetic patients who had a history of exposure to herbal treatment and/or food toxins were compared to 10 insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients and 10 normal controls. Each group was matched for age, gender, body mass index (BMI) and in the case of the diabetic controls duration of diabetes. Microalbumin, urinary amylase, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and blood pressure were measured using standard techniques....

Age at the Onset of Type 2 Diabetes Correlates with Phenotype of Low Molecular Weight Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase

Gloria-Bottini F, Antonacci E, Neri A, Magrini A and Bottini E

Article Type: Research Article | Indexed Archive: Volume 5

Several lines of evidence suggests that cytosolic Low Molecular Weight Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase (cLMWPTP), encoded by ACP1 gene, could be a candidate gene for T2D. Previous studies, however, have not found a direct association between the enzyme phenotype and susceptibility to the disease but have only found associations with its clinical manifestations....

Role of TXNIP Biology in Glucose Metabolism

Alec B Chaves, Jacob M Haus and Joseph A Houmard

Article Type: Review Article | Indexed Archive: Volume 5

Skeletal muscle insulin resistance is a major contributor to the natural history of type 2 diabetes mellitus. A common underpinning that exists behind the mechanisms of insulin resistance is the overproduction of reactive oxygen species, which may be exacerbated by a protein target known as thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP). ...
