On contrary, these are preserved in whole wheath. Compared the whole grain bread, most commercial white wheat breads contain little dietary fiber and it is assumed to cause more drastic rise and fall on glucose and insulin levels.Objective: Aiming to investigate 3-hour effect of two different type o...

Introduction: It’s assumed that music has health beneficial effects by its potential stres-reducing life. There are some reports that chorists in choral soceity are influenced by music positively during their activities.Research design and methods: 37 healthy volunteers who perform Turkish art music in Bahcesehir Music Society with mean age 50.3±10.3yrs, were included into this study. The state and trait anxiety status of chorists was evaluated...

Background and aims: The history of GDM predisposes to cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the future. The aim of this study was to evaluate risk factors predicting the development of glucose intolerance and insulin resistance syndrome (IRS) in women with history of GDM in the future.Materials and methods: 55 women who had GDM 11±2 years before were enrolled into the study. After clinical examination 75 g OGTT and inflammatory markers(hsCRP, uric acid, ...

Backgrounds and aims: We aimed to determine final status of carbohydrate (CHO) intolerance of women with GDM who were followed between 3 months and 10 years after delivery.Materials and methods: Two hundred and fourty participants with GDM history were enrolled into study and divided into two groups. [Group I: 40 women (38.0±6.3 years) who had delivery before 11±2 years ago, Group II: 200 women (34.0±5.1 years) who had delivery within 3&#1...

Introduction: Diabetic patients have an increased risk of developing dementia and cognitive impairments. DM related factors such as macrovascular and microvascular complications, glucose toxicity, hyperinsulinemia have been suggested to be involved cognitive impairment even in prediabetic stage. Our aim is to establish the relationship between insulin resistance and cognitive impairment and the effect of poorly controlled diabetes on cognitive impairment.<p class="abstext"...

Introduction: The accurate and comprehensive assessment of glycaemic control in pregnant with gestational diabetes (GDM) is important for preventing foetal complications. We aimed to determine glycaemic variation on women with GDM with using a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) and to investigate the relationship between reflecting glucose markers such as HbA1c, fructosamine (FRM), and 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG).Materials and methods: 31 women...

Introduction: Pregnant women with pre-existing diabetes are at greater risk of perinatal morbidity and diabetic complications. Glycemic control is the greatest impotance for both mothers and infants due to the risk of congenital anomalies, perinatal mortality and significant morbidity in the short and long term. Continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) is a novel tool to assess 24-h glucose fluctuations. In pregestational diabetes, CGMS may have an important role for excell...

Introduction: Gestational diabetes (GDM) has an important short and long-term health consequences for both the mother and her offspring. The aim of this study was to evaluate current metabolic status of women with GDM history and their offspring approximately at 10th year after delivery.Methods: 24 mothers who had GDM 10 years before (mean age 41.08±4.13 years and BMI 30.3±5.9) and their children (11 females, 13 males; mean age of 11.0±1.9...
