Use of growth hormone to boost athletic performance can lead to diabetes, reports a study published ahead of print in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. view more (2007-02-26)
Regulating the sugar factory in diabetes
Scientists in Sydney and Boston believe they may have identified a gene that controls abnormal production of sugar in the liver, a very troublesome problem for people with diabetes. view more (2009-05-21)
Low-carb diets prove better at controlling type 2 diabetes
In a six-month comparison of low-carb diets, one that encourages eating carbohydrates with the lowest-possible rating on the glycemic index leads to greater improvement in blood sugar control, according to Duke University Medical Center researchers. view more (2009-01-06)
Researchers identify the three killer indicators that are even worse than high cholesterol
Researchers at the University of Warwick have identified a particular combination of health problems that can double the risk of heart attack and cause a three-fold increase in the risk of mortality. view more (2009-11-03)
Jefferson scientists find high glucose before surgery raises risk of dangerous complications
Patients who have high blood sugar before undergoing surgery run an increased risk of developing blood clots, deep vein thrombosis and even pulmonary embolism after surgery. view more (2006-10-16)
Smart Insulin Nanostructures Pass Feasibility Test, UT Study Reports
Biomedical engineers at The University of Texas School of Health Information Sciences at Houston have announced pre-clinical test results in the September issue of the International Journal of Nanomedicine demonstrating the feasibility of a smart particle insulin release system that detects spikes in glucose or blood sugar levels and releases... view more...

Brain plays key role in diabetes therapy
The brain plays a major role in the ability of insulin therapy to lower blood sugar in animals with diabetes. view more (2006-01-11)
Discovery of new signal pathway important to diabetes research
Scientists at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and Miami University have discovered that cells in the pancreas cooperate - signal - in a way hitherto unknown. The discovery can eventually be of significance to the treatment of diabetes. view more (2008-06-05)
Apelin to rescue diabetics
Sugar is naturally present in the blood in the form of glucose and is stored in the liver or adipose tissue (fat) thanks to the action of insulin. Glucose is stored or directly used to ensure satisfactory function of the heart, brain and so on according to the body's demands. view more (2008-11-05)
Panic attacks are linked to poor outcomes for diabetic patients, Group Health study finds
There is a strong link between panic episodes and increased complications from diabetes, according to a study conducted at Group Health Cooperative, a Seattle-based nonprofit health care system that coordinates care and coverage. view more (2006-11-22)
Standard test for blood sugar control not accurate in diabetic dialysis patients
The standard test for measuring blood sugar control in people with diabetes is not accurate in those on kidney hemodialysis, according to new research at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. view more (2008-02-21)
Baylor researchers develop 'bubble' technique for potential treatment of Type I diabetes
Researchers at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas and the Baylor Research Institute have developed a novel technique to deliver insulin genes to the pancreas, the organ that produces the body's insulin. view more (2006-05-22)
Risks of sulfonylurea drugs in the treatment of diabetes mellitus
Sulfonylurea drugs, used in the treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus to lower blood sugar levels, have been suspected since the 1970s of increasing cardiovascular mortality as well. view more (2006-01-17)
Right breakfast bread keeps blood sugar in check all day
If you eat the right grains for breakfast, such as whole-grain barley or rye, the regulation of your blood sugar is facilitated after breakfast, lunch, and dinner. view more (2007-09-06)
Mothers' high normal blood sugar levels place infants at risk for birth problems
Pregnant women with blood sugar levels in the higher range of normal-but not high enough to be considered diabetes-are more likely than women with lower blood sugar levels to give birth to babies at risk for many of the same problems seen in babies born to women with diabetes during pregnancy, according to a study funded in large part by the... view more...

MGH initiates phase I diabetes trial
Scientists at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have initiated a phase 1 clinical trial to reverse type 1 diabetes. view more (2008-03-14)
Hopkins researchers discover potential new approach to treating diabetes
Scientists at Johns Hopkins have uncovered a surprising and novel way of lowering blood sugar levels in mice by manipulating the release of sugar by liver cells. The results, published in the June issue of Cell Metabolism, have implications for treating conditions like diabetes. view more (2006-06-09)
Disruption of blood sugar levels after heart surgery is common
A study reveals today that inadequate blood sugar control in patients having heart surgery is associated with a four fold increase in post-surgery death and major complications - and that the blood sugar disturbances occur in patients with and without diabetes. view more (2008-07-08)
A root to success
A plant called roseroot grows wild in Norway. Roseroot helps improve memory and the immune system and stabilizes cholesterol levels, blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Roseroot has been used in folk medicine for more than 3000 years, and grows throughout Norway view more (2004-08-24)
