CHEO RI study uses sophisticated genetic engineering to improve insulin-producing beta cells
One of the biggest mysteries about diabetes is why specialized cells in the pancreas stop secreting insulin, which the body needs in order to store glucose from food. view more (2009-10-08)
Monash research cautions against use of anti-oxidants
An international team of scientists, led by Monash University researchers, has found that anti-oxidants commonly touted for their health-promoting benefits, could contribute to the early onset of Type 2 diabetes. view more (2009-10-07)
Future diabetes treatment may use resveratrol to target the brain
Resveratrol, a molecule found in red grapes, has been shown to improve diabetes when delivered orally to rodents. Until now, however, little has been known about how these beneficial changes are mediated in the body. view more (2009-10-06)
Ethnic background may be associated with diabetes risk
Fat and muscle mass, as potentially determined by a person's ethnic background, may contribute to diabetes risk, according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). view more (2009-10-06)
Self monitoring of blood glucose levels helps patients with diabetes
Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) enables those with diabetes to modify their behavior, adjust their medicine and understand their disease to better manage it. view more (2009-10-02)
Despite size, NFL players not more likely to develop heart disease, even after retirement
Former professional football players with large bodies don't appear to have the same risk factors for heart disease as their non-athletic counterparts, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found in studying a group of National Football League (NFL) alumni. view more (2009-09-30)
Self-monitoring of blood glucose
Diabetes patients should always control their own blood sugar values if this leads to improvements in their treatment. view more (2009-09-29)
Insulin boost restores muscle growth in elderly
When most people think of insulin, they think of diabetes - a disease that arises when, for one reason or another, insulin can't do the critical job of helping the body process sugar. view more (2009-09-28)
Women with diabetes at increased risk for irregular heart rhythm
Diabetes increases by 26 percent the likelihood that women will develop atrial fibrillation (AF), a potentially dangerous irregular heart rhythm that can lead to stroke, heart failure, and chronic fatigue. view more (2009-09-28)
Diabetes weakens your bones
Current research suggests that the inflammatory molecule TNF-α may contribute to delayed bone fracture healing in diabetics. view more (2009-09-28)
Is inhaled insulin delivery still a possibility? Why has it been a commercial failure?
The commercial failure of Exubera® (Pfizer, New York, NY), the first inhaled insulin product to come to market, led other companies such as Eli Lilly-Alkermes to halt studies of similar drug delivery in development intended to compete for a share of the lucrative diabetes market. view more (2009-09-24)
SPIRIT IV trial shows everolimus stent sets new standard for event-free survival
Late-breaking data from SPIRIT IV, a large-scale multi-center study of nearly 4,000 patients in the U.S., shows that an everolimus-eluting stent demonstrated enhanced safety and efficacy in the treatment of de novo native coronary artery lesions when compared to a paclitaxel-eluting stent, and showed that "low late loss" may be achieved... view more...

People with type 2 diabetes improved muscular strength
Physical therapist-directed exercise counseling combined with fitness center-based exercise training can improve muscular strength and exercise capacity in people with type 2 diabetes, with outcomes similar to those of supervised exercise, according to a randomized clinical trial published in the September issue of Physical Therapy, the scientific... view more...

UAB Research Finds Childbearing Increases Chance of Developing the Metabolic Syndrome
Childbearing is associated directly with future development of the metabolic syndrome - abdominal obesity, high triglycerides, insulin resistance and other cardiovascular disease risk factors - and for women who have had gestational diabetes, the risk is more than twice greater. view more (2009-09-23)
Racial Disparities in Diabetes Prevalence Linked to Living Conditions
The higher incidence of diabetes among African Americans when compared to whites may have more to do with living conditions than genetics, according to a study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. view more (2009-09-22)
Pancreatic fat levels may help predict diabetes, UT Southwestern researchers say
Researchers have long suspected that overweight people tend to have large fat deposits in their pancreases, but they've been unable to confirm or calculate how much fat resides there because of the organ's location. Until now. view more (2009-09-22)
Large fat cells may increase risk of type 2 diabetes in women
Middle-aged women with large abdominal fat cells have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life compared to women with smaller fat cells. view more (2009-09-21)
Metabolic syndrome risk factors drive significantly higher health care costs
Risk factors for metabolic syndrome, such as obesity, high blood pressure, and elevated blood lipid levels, can increase a person's healthcare costs nearly 1.6-fold, or about $2,000 per year. view more (2009-09-18)
Prolonged stress sparks ER to release calcium stores and induce cell death in aging-related diseases
Study shows prolonged stress sparks ER to release calcium stores and induce cell death in aging-related diseases such as atherosclerosis, diabetes and neurodegeneration. view more (2009-09-14)
Diabetes drug kills cancer stem cells in combination treatment in mice
In a one-two punch, a familiar diabetes drug reduced tumors faster and prolonged remission in mice longer than chemotherapy alone by targeting cancer stem cells, Harvard Medical School researchers reported in the September 14 online first edition of Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. view more (2009-09-14)
