The first data collection time point was during their initial contact to the clinic, and the two following (3rd month and 6th month) were during the monitoring visits to the Celal Bayar University Endocrinology Department in 2007. After the adaptation of the DTSQ to Turkish language by following standard procedures, this instrument was applied to the patients along with WBQ-12 and World Health Organization Quality of Life Measure (WHOQOL-Bref). The reliability of the DTSQ was evaluated by running internal consistency analysis (Cronbach Alpha) and item analysis. Construct validity of the instrument was evaluated by various tests such as Principal Components analysis, Confirmatory Factor Analysis, Concurrent validity and "Known Groups" comparisons. Finally the sensitivity (responsiveness to change) of the DTSQ scores to the changes of the metabolic conditions were assessed. 50.0% of the participants were male with a mean age of 51.1 ± 11.4 (min 22, max 78). Majority of them had type 2 d...Continue Reading

Biomarkers for Type 2 Diabetes

Biomarkers can help understand chronic diseases and assist in risk prediction for prevention and early detection of diseases. Here is the latest research on biomarkers in type 2 diabetes, a disease in which the body is unable to produce or properly use insulin.
