Previous research has evaluated the incidence of hypoglycaemia; however, none have reported the extent of blood glucose reduction after this regimen. The aim of this study was to better characterise ...

Heart attack, stroke and type II diabetes have all been shown to be less common in individuals that regularly donate blood. But, according to a new study led by researchers at King Abdullah ...

Previous estimates of mortality due to diabetes or high blood-glucose levels have typically excluded deaths from cardiovascular disease, although cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of ...

Methods: Blood glucose levels were synchronously analysed using a bedside blood glucometer on capillary and venous derived samples from consenting ED patients aged >12 years. The venous sample was ...

Type 1 diabetes is typically a disease of young but can present at any age. We present a case of a 93-year-old woman who presented with 10 days history of feeling lethargic, polydipsia and decreased ...

Hence a reliable “point of care” device (glucometer) for early detection and treatment of low glucose is needed. Objective: To evaluate the performance of five readily available glucometers for the ...

There are no prenatal risk factors for sepsis. Your examination of the baby is normal—he is now not “jittery”. A capillary heel prick blood test (Medisense) done on the postnatal ward has given a ...

In this study, we investigated the glucose levels in rats with/without catheter implementation and multiple blood sampling. We also examined whether blood glucose can be measured accurately using a ...
