Diagnosis was confirmed on the basis of the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) or HbA1c ≥6.5% plus
Background:
Physical training is one of the cornerstones within the treatment of diabetes, as well as medicine and diet modification, and the effect is well documented in terms of improved glycemic control, loss of fat tissue, lower content of triglycerides in blood, improved insulin sensitivity,
Exercise testing by Active Pedal Plantar flexion:
The investigators plan to collect 140 cases:
1. Healthy subjects with no apparent atherosclerotic risk [< 65 y/o, no diabetic mellitus (DM), no hypertension, or no hyperlipidemia, not obese, not current smoker, no smoking history >10 years] 4(n=5)
2.
3-4 grade radiation mucositis account for 34%-56% in all head and neck patients treated by radiotherapy and >50% in patients treated by radiotherapy concurrent with chemotherapy. 3-4 grade radiation mucositis have obvious symptoms, presenting with fusion ulcers, ulcers bleeding or obvious pain need
Progression of GO from mild-moderate to severe disease:
Criteria for start of treatment with corticosteroids, retrobulbar irradiation, or orbital decompression are severe soft tissue swelling (NO SPECS class 2c), risk of corneal ulcers with or without exophthalmos, double vision within 30 degrees,
Background Mortality rate of diabetic patients is about twice as much that of non-diabetic individuals of similar age; this makes diabetes a leading risk factor for mortality, especially of cardiovascular origin, which accounts for 2.9 million global events yearly. Such scenario is expected to
Background

Corticosteroids (one specific type is prednisone) have been used in clinical transplantation for more than 30 years. There are many side effects of corticosteroids including significant bone disease, diabetes (elevated blood sugar levels), fluid retention and hypertension (high blood pressure),
