The effect of the modified fat-protein unit algorithm compared with that of carbohydrate counting on postprandial glucose in adults with type-1 diabetes when consuming meals with differing macronutrient compositions: a randomized crossover trial

Abstract Background The optimization of glucose control in type-1 diabetes is challenged by postprandial glycemic variability.This study aimed to compare the postprandial Electric Knives glycemic effects of carbohydrate counting and the modified fat-protein unit (FPU) algorithms following meals with different protein and fat emphases in adults with

On the critical behaviour of two-dimensional liquid crystals

The Lebwohl-Lasher (LL) model is the traditional model used to describe the nematic-isotropic transition of real liquid crystals.In this paper, we develop a numerical study of the temperature behaviour and of finite-size scaling of the two-dimensional (2D) LL-model.We discuss two possible scenarios.In the first one, the 2D LL-model presents a phase

Les sujets intersexes peuvent-ils (se) penser ?

Intersex persons are eclipsed by social myths on hermaphrodism and the third sex.However, some who have politicised themselves are demanding that non-consensual interventions practiced by medicine on them Electric Knives in order to conform their bodies to the male and female norms stop.Aware of this critique, medical professionals who invest thems
