ACE Inhibitors and ARBs Have Same Impact on Proteinuria and BP Reduction in Patients With Diabetic Nephropathy Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) either alone or in combination appear to have comparable impact in reducing proteinuria and blood pressure in patients with diabetic nephropathy.

In Type 2, Rosiglitazone Improves Glomerular Filtration, Renal Endothelial Dysfunction, and Microalbuminuria in Nephropathy Patients Rosiglitazone ameliorated glomerular hyperfiltration in early type 2 diabetes, improved NO bioavailability, and lessened renal end-organ damage in type 2 diabetes with microalbuminuria.

Use of bolus inhaled insulin along with subcutaneous basal insulin seems comparable to that of subcutaneous basal/bolus insulin in maintaining glycemic control in patients with type 1 diabetes and is equally well tolerated.

A protein that’s overproduced by fat cells in obese individuals blocks the action of insulin — elevating the risk for diabetes, heart disease and early death.

Patients who underwent the most popular type of obesity surgery have developed an apparent complication — blood sugar so perilously low that it causes confusion, tunnel vision and blackouts.

Insulin Dose Adjustments Necessary to Prevent Hypoglycemia for Type 1s Who Drink in the Evening Modest intake of alcohol with an evening meal may increase the risk of next-day hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes’
