A Randomized Controlled Trial Investigating the Effects of a Low–Glycemic Index Diet on Pregnancy Outcomes in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

TL;DR: In intensively monitored women with GDM, an LGI diet and a conventional high-fiber moderate-GI diet produce similar pregnancy outcomes.

Plasma miR-126 is a potential biomarker for early prediction of type 2 diabetes mellitus in susceptible individuals

TL;DR: MiR-126 is the only miRNA that showed significantly reduced expression in susceptible individuals and T2DM patients compared to normal individuals, suggesting that miR- 126 in circulation may serve as a potential biomarker for early identification of susceptible individuals to T2 DM.

Comparison of liver fat indices for the diagnosis of hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance.

TL;DR: The tested indices offer modest efficacy to detect steatosis and cannot substitute for fat quantification by 1H-MRS, however, all indices might serve as surrogate parameters for liver fat content and also as rough clinical estimates of abnormal insulin sensitivity and secretion.

Differential associations of myopia with major age-related eye diseases: the Singapore Indian Eye Study.

TL;DR: The associations of myopia with AMD, DR, and POAG are mostly explained by longer AL, however, the association between myopia and nuclear cataract is explained by lens refraction rather than AL.

Resveratrol attenuates hyperglycemia-mediated oxidative stress, proinflammatory cytokines and protects hepatocytes ultrastructure in streptozotocin-nicotinamide-induced experimental diabetic rats

TL;DR: The histological and ultrastructural observations evidenced that resveratrol effectively rescues the hepatocytes from hyperglycemia-mediated oxidative damage without affecting its cellular function and structural integrity.

Reduction in the incidence of type 2 diabetes with lifestyle intervention or metformin.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared a lifestyle intervention with metformin to prevent or delay the development of Type 2 diabetes in nondiabetic individuals. And they found that the lifestyle intervention was significantly more effective than the medication.
Journal ArticleDOI

International association of diabetes and pregnancy study groups recommendations on the diagnosis and classification of hyperglycemia in pregnancy.

TL;DR: The Brazilian study provided evidence that adverse perinatal outcomes are associated with levels of maternal glycemia below those diagnostic of GDM by American Diabetes Association or World Health Organization criteria, however, the results were potentially confounded by the treatment of G DM.

Follow-up report on the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus.

TL;DR: The International Expert Committee was convened to reexamine the classification and diagnostic criteria of diabetes, which were based on the 1979 publication of the National Diabetes Data Group and subsequent WHO study group and adopted several changes to the diagnostic criteria for diabetes and for lesser degrees of impaired glucose regulation (IFG/IGT).

Effect of treatment of gestational diabetes mellitus on pregnancy outcomes

TL;DR: Treatment of gestational diabetes reduces serious perinatal morbidity and may also improve the woman's health-related quality of life.
