I recently saw a patient for a diabetes follow-up and had just gotten her lab values faxed over. Her A1c came back at 9.6, despite the patient telling me that her glucose meter readings were much lower. She even showed me the meter, and upon doing some averaging, it appeared that her A1c should be a lot lower....

Do patients with prediabetes share the same vascular complication risk seen in patients with T2D?

CoviDIAB Registry will explore why COVID-19 can increase complications in people with pre-existing diabetes, and may also be driving new cases. 

Studies show that carbohydrate restriction for prediabetes can lead to normal glucose levels, reduce the progression to type 2 diabetes, and decrease the prevalence of metabolic syndrome. 

Numerous complications associated with diabetes, including the risk of death, begin at the pre-diabetic stage.

Findings from a recently published meta-analysis of patients with pre-diabetes, with and without ASCVD, suggest an increased risk for premature death and cardiovascular events.

The EarlyBird study investigated how to predict future pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes in children. Years of research have shown us that there are many factors that predispose patients to type 2 diabetes. However, researchers at the University of Plymouth, in collaboration with Nestlé Institute of Health Sciences, monitored children …

He had not had a medical workup for some time and wasn't aware of any underlying diseases. I recommended he be screened for diabetes....
