To interact glucose level of blood with finger biting was the goal of present research. 130 subjects took part in present research, where their glucose level of blood calculated. The normal glucose level in blood is in between 100 to 140mg/dl. The hyperglycemia is known as high glucose level while hypoglycemia is known as low glucose level. The biting of fingers in the mouth with teeth is known as finger biting. It also refer as onychophagia. There were 130 students take part in this research and they measured their sugar level by using glucose meter. Then they correlate the glucose level with finger biting. It was concluded from the present study that glucose level of blood has no impact on finger biting.

Objective: As per the ethnopharmacological information has Butea monosperma been used to treat diabetes mellitus by the tribal people of tropical and subtropical areas. However, there is no much more scientific report available about the antidiabetic property of the leaves of the plant. Hence, the study was undertaken to evaluate the antidiabetic effect of ethanolic extract of B. monosperma on blood levels of adrenaline-induced and glucose feed diabetic rabbits.Methods: The three different doses of the extracts (100, 200, and 400 mg/kg) were administered orally to an experimental animal. The animals were induced diabetics by adrenaline and high glucose diet. Blood glucose level was measured accordingly. For antidiabetic activity, photocolorimeter was used to monitoring the blood glucose level with crest kit box (GOP-POD method).Results: The extracts showed considerable dose-dependent activity. However, the dose 400 mg/kg showed considerable lower of blood glucose level. p<0.01 indicates the significance result. 8 hrs reading 182.5±3.83 for 400 mg does is most effective for reducing blood sugar.Conclusion: The study indicates that the ethanolic extract of B. monosperma leaves possesses antidiabetic properties which suggest the presence of biologically active components.

Cognition function specifically about thinking concentration has not much yet been studied. Society view shown that glucose has role thinking quality. Few studies shown that glucose has role in specific memory quality but not in complex thinking. This study purpose to see correlation between blood glucose level with thinking concentration before eating (preprandial), after eating (postprandial), and the effect of blood glucose rise on thinking concentration. Subjects that accomplished study’s requirement were recruited until forty six people and were followed within thirty minutes. Blood Glucose level was measured by glucose meter at initial admission, thinking concentration were measured with trail making test at initial admission, and compared after eating on the thirtieth minute. Descriptive analytic shown that preprandial blood glucose level in all subject is 55-119 mg/dl with 98.2 mg/dl mean. Postprandial blood glucose level in all subject is 103-171 mg/dl with 134.5 mg/dl mean. Preprandial thinking concentration in all subject is 28-93 seconds with 56.42 seconds mean. Postprandial thinking concentration in all subject is 24-73 seconds with 47.5 seconds mean. Correlation analysis showed that no significance between preprandial blood glucose level and thinking concentration (p = 0.556), postprandial blood glucose level and thinking concentration (p = 0.533), and increase in blood glucose and thinking concentration (p= 0.928). In conclusion there is no significant correlation between blood glucose level and thinking concentration.

Galectin-3 is a member of the β-galactoside-binding lectin family taking part in the regulation of inflammation, angiogenesis, and fibrosis. This study was designed to study the improved effect of galectin-3 inhibition on diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Sprague–Dawley rats were randomized into the control, DCM, and DCM + modified citrus pectin (MCP) (a galectin–3 pharmacological inhibitor) groups. After 8 weeks, streptozotocin-induced DCM led to high blood glucose level, oxidative stress, cardiac injury, and dysfunction accompanied by suppressed body mass. On the contrary, MCP (100 mg·kg−1·day−1) administration improved body mass and blood glucose level and attenuated cardiac injury and dysfunction in DCM rats. Additionally, MCP attenuated pathological changes in plasma and myocardial tissue markers of oxidative stress, such as hydrogen peroxide and malonyldialdehyde, although it did not change superoxide dismutase activities, which were decreased in the DCM group. The levels of oxidative stress associated proteins evaluated by Western blot, such as p67phox and NADPH oxidase 4, were obviously increased in the DCM group, while they were reversed by MCP treatment. Therefore, galectin-3-mediated high-glucose-induced cardiomyocyte injury and galectin-3 inhibition attenuated DCM by suppressing NADPH oxidase. These findings suggested that galectin-3 could be a potential target for treatment of patients with DCM.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) treatment depends on the delivery of exogenous insulin to obtain near normal glucose levels. This article proposes a method for blood glucose level regulation in type 1 diabetics. The control strategy is based on comparing the first order sliding mode control (FOSMC) with a higher order SMC based on the super twisting control algorithm. The higher order sliding mode is used to overcome chattering, which can induce some undesirable and harmful phenomena for human health. In order to test the controller in silico experiments, Bergman's minimal model is used for studying the dynamic behavior of the glucose and insulin inside human body. Simulation results are presented to validate the effectiveness and the good performance of this control technique. The obtained results clearly reveal improved performance of the proposed higher order SMC in regulating the blood glucose level within the normal glycemic range in terms of accuracy and robustness.

Data on barium-zinc filtrates of liver homogenates and of boiled liver indicate that the free glucose content of liver exceeds the blood glucose level. For instance, for boiled liver, the glucose level is 10.1, compared with a blood level of 5.4 mM/kg. Method of preparation of the tissue is important for the interpretation of the final results, as has been shown in appropriate control experiments. Various methods including paper chromatography were used to show that the reducing substance in liver is glucose. The relation of the high glucose content of liver to hexokinase activity, phosphate activity, and to glucose transport between liver cell and blood is discussed.

In several European countries (e.g., Poland) blood glucose level is the main indicator of feline diabetes mellitus. We describe a case of an adult domestic cat (Felis catus) that exhibited no symptoms of diabetes except high glucose level in blood (&asymp;200 mg/dl) that indicated a possibility of early stage of this disease. However, further investigations including serum fructosamine level determination, systematic urine monitoring as well as comparative analyses of glucose level in blood samples collected at the veterinary clinic and at home revealed that the cat was suffering from stress-induced hyperglycaemia brought on by the car ride and visit to the veterinary clinic. This case highlights the fact that determining blood glucose level alone is insufficient in feline diabetes mellitus diagnosis and can lead to unnecessary treatment with potential adverse effects on feline health. &nbsp; &nbsp;

A raised blood sugar level no more defines a single entity than does a raised bilirubin or a low haemoglobin. Diabetes is a heterogenous group of disorders whose only common factor is hyperglycaemia (Tattersallet al, 1980). The classification of diabetes is being revised, although the changes are of more relevance to epidemiologists than clinicians. Previous standards of normal glucose tolerance were set too low, so that some people were labelled diabetic who had no symptoms and have proved on follow-up not to be at risk of developing complications such as retinopathy (i.e. they had a non-disease). Epidemiological evidence suggests that the cut-off point for ‘true’ diabetes (i.e. a condition which leads to complications and shortening of life span) is a blood glucose level two hours after a 50 G oral glucose load of 11.1 mMol/L (National Diabetes Data Group, 1979). This corresponds to a fasting blood glucose level of 7 mMol/L or below. Hence, a single blood glucose value, either in the fasting state or two hours after a 50 G glucose load, is enough to diagnose diabetes and glucose tolerance tests should hardly ever be necessary.
