Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common complication of diabetes, while the erythrocyte aldose reductase (A Day) are involved in a variety of diabetic complications. Kyoto Prefecture Medical University, Department of Urology of the Nayay and colleagues studied 62 patients with diabetes, of which 2
5 cases had blood dialysis treatment (CRF chronic renal failure group). The remaining 37 cases of non-chronic renal failure group (DM group). The researchers selected 20 patients with age-matched healthy volunteers as controls, and all patients and controls were measured by quantitative AR Kit AR level. Diagnosis of India contains the five elements according to the International Index of Erectile Function (10EF-5) derived.
The researchers found that, CnF group A was significantly higher than the daily average level of DM group and control group (P <0.001). DM group, non-Tian's average level of AR was significantly lower than DM group had ED and the controls (P <0.005).
The researchers believe that these results show that the level of A Day in predicting diabetes in patients with ED can be used as an effective means of disease.

High GGT was the first pick impaired glucose tolerance
Pisa, Italy University School of Medicine Nannipieri such a population-based studies have shown, Y-glutamyltransferase GGT (GGT) is elevated with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and diabetes were independent predictors of factors.
The study included a group of 1441 non-B and hepatitis C virus infection in evidence, and no acute liver injury and alcohol intake "250 g / week for adults. The group at the 7-year follow-up study, a total of 94 people occurred in type 2 diabetes, and another 93 have taken place in Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT).
The results showed that in multivariate analysis, by gender, age, obesity, fat distribution, alcohol intake, blood lipid and blood pressure after correction, baseline alanine aminotransferase (AST) and GGT increased and the incidence of IGT and diabetes was significantly correlated , and GGT increased with all the features of the metabolic syndrome are related. The results show that. Elevated GGT is an independent predictor of diabetes, IGT is also a factor.

Adiponectin and leptin levels may help to distinguish between type 1,2 diabetes mellitus in children
According to U.S. researchers reported, adiponectin (adiponectin) and leptin (1eptin) plasma levels can help to distinguish between 1 or type 2 diabetes patients with adolescents and children.
Senior research staff, the University of Florida A Kensen (Mark
Atkinson) told Reuters, "In recent years, type 2 diabetes in children and adolescents in the surge, we need better markers to distinguish between two-and l-type diabetes." He and colleagues studied 41 diabetic patients l infants, 17 children with type 2 diabetes and 43 controls. The study found, l diabetes in children and the control group serum adiponectin concentration in similar, but type 2 diabetes in children with serum adiponectin levels are significantly reduced. On the contrary, type 2 diabetes, serum leptin levels in children with diabetes than l and the control group was significantly higher in children. Moreover, according to the researchers that the assessment of adiponectin and leptin ratios revealed again, 1,2 diabetic children significantly different.
A Kensen concluded, "Our study not only used to help distinguish these two diseases, but also for their own clues and potential mechanisms for the prevention of diabetes that direction."

About half of the Zimbabwean people with diabetes
