Aims To correlate the values of MBG to HbA1c in Greek patients with Type 2 diabetes and/or metabolic syndrome. Methods We followed up 140 Greek adult patients: 92 patients with Type 2 diabetes treated with insulin or oral glucose‐lowering medication, and 48 patients with newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome not receiving any treatment. MBG was calculated for each patient from self‐measurements of blood glucose using a portable glucometer, made six times a day (before eating and 2 h after a meal), three times a week for 1 month. HbA1c was determined by HPLC at 0 and 12 weeks. Results HbA1c at 0 (x) and 12 weeks (y) correlated strongly (y = 0.790x + 1.115, r = 0.92), confirming that the patient's glycaemic status remained stable during the whole period of follow‐up. Linear regression was performed on MBG values; HbA1c at 12 weeks, sex, age, body mass index (BMI) and patient status (Type 2 diabetes treated or not) were used as independent variables. None of the independent variables reached statistical significance in the model, with the exception of HbA1c at 12 weeks. The final model was: MBG (mg/dl) = (34.74 × HbA1c) – 79.21, r = 0.93; or MBG (mmol/l) = 1.91 × HbA1c – 4.36, r = 0.93. Conclusions Our results establish for the first time a strong correlation between MBG and HbA1c in Type 2 diabetic patients and support the idea of expressing HbA1c results as MBG. This will help patients to gain a clearer interpretation of the result, with less confusion. This simplification will allow every person with diabetes using home glucose‐monitoring to understand his or her own target level. 相似文献

A pathogenic GAA repeat expansion in the first intron of the fibroblast growth factor 14 gene (FGF14) has been recently identified as the cause of spinocerebellar ataxia 27B (SCA27B). We herein screened 160 Greek index cases with late-onset cerebellar ataxia (LOCA) for FGF14 repeat expansions using a combination of long-range PCR and bidirectional repeat-primed PCRs. We identified 19 index cases (12%) carrying a pathogenic FGF14 GAA expansion, a diagnostic yield higher than that of previously screened repeat-expansion ataxias in Greek LOCA patients. The age at onset of SCA27B patients was 60.5 ± 12.3 years (range, 34–80). Episodic onset (37%), downbeat nystagmus (32%) and vertigo (26%) were significantly more frequent in FGF14 expansion-positive cases compared to expansion-negative cases. Beyond typical cerebellar signs, SCA27B patients often displayed hyperreflexia (47%) and reduced vibration sense in the lower extremities (42%). The frequency and phenotypic profile of SCA27B in Greek patients was similar to most other previously studied populations. We conclude that FGF14 GAA repeat expansions are the commonest known genetic cause of LOCA in the Greek population and recommend prioritizing testing for FGF14 expansions in the diagnostic algorithm of patients with LOCA. 相似文献
