Key PointsQuestion In older individuals with diabetes, is maintaining stability of glycated hemoglobin A1c levels (HbA1c) in individualized target ranges over time associated with lower risk of Alzheimer disease and related dementias (ADRD)?Findings In this cohort study of 374 021 older veterans with diabetes, greater HbA1c stability, as measured by HbA1c time in range, was associated… Continue reading #Glycated Hemoglobin A1c Time in Range and #Dementia in Older Adults With Diabetes

The associations of glycosylated hemoglobin with grey matter volume and depression: Investigating mediating role of grey matter volume
Highlights•This is the first study to investigate the mediation effect of GMV on the association between HbA1c and depression.•Hba1c was negatively associated with GMV, and that association were stronger in prediabetic participants.•Cerebral GMV plays a mediating role on the association “HbA1c-depression”, with a proportions of 6.82%.•Effective control of glycemia can potentially prevent brain abnormality and… Continue reading The associations of glycosylated hemoglobin with grey matter volume and depression: Investigating mediating role of grey matter volume
Effects of a Low-Carbohydrate Dietary Intervention on Hemoglobin A1cA Randomized Clinical Trial
Importance Low-carbohydrate diets decrease hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) among patients with type 2 diabetes at least as much as low-fat diets. However, evidence on the effects of low-carbohydrate diets on HbA1c among individuals with HbA1c in the range of prediabetes to diabetes not treated by diabetes medications is limited.Objective To study the effect of a behavioral intervention promoting a low-carbohydrate diet… Continue reading Effects of a Low-Carbohydrate Dietary Intervention on Hemoglobin A1cA Randomized Clinical Trial
Comprehensive investigations revealed consistent pathophysiological alterations after vaccination with COVID-19 vaccines
Large-scale COVID-19 vaccinations are currently underway in many countries in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Here, we report, besides generation of neutralizing antibodies, consistent alterations in hemoglobin A1c, serum sodium and potassium levels, coagulation profiles, and renal functions in healthy volunteers after vaccination with an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Similar changes had also been reported in… Continue reading Comprehensive investigations revealed consistent pathophysiological alterations after vaccination with COVID-19 vaccines
#Glycated hemoglobin predicts #coronary artery disease in non-diabetic adults
..All patients underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) for evaluation of chest pain. The extent of coronary artery stenosis (CAS) was quantified as percentage for each patient based on plaques detected in CCTA. ..Mean blood pressure of the patients was (91.2 ± 11.9 mmHg), BMI (28.3 ± 5.8 kg/m2), serum cholesterol level (174 ± 33.1 mg/dl), and HbA1c levels (mean 5.7 ± 0.45, median 5.7 and… Continue reading #Glycated hemoglobin predicts #coronary artery disease in non-diabetic adults
