One hour with the doctor can prevent diabetes
"It's actually possible to prevent diabetes by one consultation, if the doctor takes the time to reason with the patient about his/her special health statistics and life situation," says general practitioner Jonas Lidfeldt, who has tested this in a major study of middle-aged women in the Lund region. There are many studies of men's... view more... (2003-04-22)

Expert Reviews Cannot Be Trusted
The results of the most important research in diabetes in the past 25 years have not been conveyed accurately to doctors, claim researchers in this week's BMJ. These findings have far reaching implications for how the current medical information system transmits new research results from academia to practitioners. Thirty five reviews on treatment... view more... (2003-07-30)
