TL;DR: Postprandial, but not fasting, blood glucose is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events in type 2 diabetes, with a stronger predictive power in women than in men, suggesting that more attention should be paid to postprandials hyperglycemia, particularly in women.

TL;DR: In central obesity, diet‐induced weight loss reduces platelet activation and restores the sensitivity to the physiological antiaggregating agents, with a correlation with improvements in insulin sensitivity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated whether WBC count correlates with albumin excretion rate (AER), a component of the insulin resistance syndrome conferring a particularly strong risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

TL;DR: Gl glucose activates the NO/cyclic nucleotide pathway in human platelets with an osmotic mechanism mediated by PKC-beta.

TL;DR: This work aimed to clarify: whether BG preprandial baseline is stable also in type 2 diabetes and whether fasting BG (FBG) influences the slope of BG pre Pratincole baseline and the relationships between pre‐ and post prandial BG.
