Aim: To calculate mean HbA1c values in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in different therapy regiments.Material and methods: Ninety-nine diabetic persons was divided in three groups: group I (n=33) on oral hypoglucemic agents, group II (n=33) on one or two doses of insulin and group III (n=33) on intensive insulin therapy. We have calculated the mean values of HbA1c on the begining and 6 months after start of therapy regiment.<...

BMI over 30 kg/m2 is associated with lowest risk for osteoporosis and hip fracture in both sex. Increased body fat mass is followed with greater hip fracture risk, independently of BMI.Aim: Evaluate risk for osteoporosis in postmenopausal female with BMI 25–29.9 kg/m2 and influence of body fat mass on mineral bone density in overweight women.Material and methods: One hundred postmenopausal female, age 48&...

Aim: The aim of our study was to investigate is surgical stress induce alterations in insulin sensitivity in the course of cholecystectomy performed in two differnt procedures: as a open surgery and as laparascopic operation.Material and methods: The homeostasis assessment model (HOMA) was used to determine insulin sensitivity before and in the first, third and seventh day after the operation. Patients were divided int two groups: group A (open cholecyst...

Introduction: After gastric bypass, gastric secretion decreased and resorption of minerals and vitamins may be compromised. Lower resorpion of serum calcium and vitamin D could stimulate PTH secretion after restictive and malabsorptive bariatric procedures.Methods: We have measured serum calcium, D vitamin and PTH in patients (n=50, 17 males and 33 females) 6 and 12 months after R en Y gastric bypass, 38.6±12.6 years of age, with BMI 43&#17...

Introduction: Obesity is a risk factor for the development of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The aim of our study was to examine predictive value of liver enzymes in assessing biomarkers of insulin sensitivity in obese, non-diabetic adults.Methods: 1104 obese, non-diabetic adults were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups: Group A (BMI 30.0–39.9 kg/m2</s...
