Objective: Our purpose was to evaluate the impact of a transmission system on metabolic control of patients with diabetes.Research design and methods: This ongoing-prospective, randomized, comparative study included adult patients with type 1 (n=71) and type 2 diabetes (n=139). Consecutive patients were equally allocated into two groups. Both groups received routine care by the same health care professionals (HCPs) 3-monthly. TeleDiab g...

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...
