How insulin TORC2 blood sugar levels: glowing mice light the way
With the help of genetically engineered mice whose livers turned into glowing light bulbs, researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have illuminated the underpinnings of an insidious and growing health concern- type II diabetes. view more (2007-09-06)
Got Sugar? Glucose Affects Our Ability to Resist Temptation
New research from a lab at Florida State University reveals that self-control takes fuel-- literally. When we exercise it, resisting temptations to misbehave, our fuel tank is depleted, making subsequent efforts at self-control more difficult. view more (2007-12-04)
Type 1 diabetics required for ground-breaking vision study
OPTOMETRY researchers at Aston University's new £10 million Academy of Life Sciences are currently undertaking ground-breaking research into the vision problems caused by diabetics - one of the leading causes of blindness and vision loss in the UK. So far, the study has been very successful with a large number of diabetic volunteers stepping... view more... (2005-04-13)
Weight gain in children has no association with sugar-sweetened beverage consumption
An analysis of 12 recent studies indicate that there is virtually no link between the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and weight gain in children and teens. The meta-analysis is published in the June issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. view more (2008-06-16)
New evidence of how high glucose damages blood vessels could lead to new treatments
New evidence of how the elevated glucose levels that occur in diabetes damage blood vessels may lead to novel strategies for blocking the destruction, Medical College of Georgia researchers say. view more (2009-05-12)
Scientists closer to understanding how to control high blood sugar
Scientists are closer to understanding which proteins help control blood sugar, or glucose, during and after exercise. This understanding could lead to new drug therapies or more effective exercise to prevent Type 2 diabetes and other health problems associated with having high blood sugar. view more (2009-03-19)
JDRF-funded clinical trial demonstrates continuous glucose monitoring improves blood sugar control
Patients with type 1 diabetes who used continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices to help manage their disease experienced significant improvements in blood sugar control, according to initial results of a major multicenter clinical trial funded by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. view more (2008-09-09)
White blood cells are picky about sugar
Biology textbooks are blunt-neutrophils are mindless killers. These white blood cells patrol the body and guard against infection by bacteria and fungi, identifying and destroying any invaders that cross their path. view more (2007-07-12)
Some patients may not need insulin for long-term control of type 2 diabetes
Some patients with type 2 diabetes can control their disease for years yet avoid insulin injections by using multiple classes of oral diabetic medications, a new study found. view more (2008-06-16)
Medical Use for New Sugar Coated Proteins
Making sugar coated proteins for use in medicines is a step closer thanks to a chance discovery by scientists from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. The research is presented today, Tuesday 9 September 2003, by Professor Brendan Wren at the Society for General Microbiology’s meeting at UMIST in Manchester. view more (2003-08-27)
Two tests better than one for diabetes control, Johns Hopkins expert tells doctors
In a strongly worded review published in the recent edition of The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the head of the Johns Hopkins Diabetes Center urges physicians and patients to better use the blood-testing tools at hand to manage the disease and prevent most of its dire impact on the heart, kidneys, nerves and vision. view more (2006-04-14)
Current screening test for prediabetes in children misses the diagnosis too often
Obese children, who are at increased risk for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, may not be getting the most appropriate test to screen for these conditions, a new Canadian study found. view more (2008-06-16)
Sugar-coated antibiotics
Researchers from the John Innes Centre and the University of East Anglia have recently elucidated the structure and function of an enzyme which is involved in decorating antibiotics with sugar molecules. view more (2008-05-29)
Hormone links sleep, hunger and metabolism, researchers find
While investigating how the hormone orexin might control sleep and hunger, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered, to their surprise, that it activates a protein, HIF-1, long known to stimulate cancerous tumor growth. view more (2007-11-15)
Reducing kids' salt intake may lower soft drink consumption
Children who eat less salt drink fewer sugar-sweetened soft drinks and may significantly lower their risks for obesity, elevated blood pressure and later-in-life heart attack and stroke. view more (2008-02-21)
Sufficient evidence for reducing sugar intake to tackle obesity? (p 1068)
A Viewpoint article in this week's issue of THE LANCET considers the evidence behind a recent WHO/UN report to restrict consumption of free (added) sugars to counteract obesity and concludes: 'when considered in aggregate they [available studies] provide considerable evidence to suggest that sucrose and other free sugars contribute to the global... view more...

High-fat diet impairs muscle health before impacting function
Skeletal muscle plays a critical role in regulating blood sugar levels in the body. But few studies have comprehensively examined how obesity caused by a high-fat diet affects the health of muscle in adolescents who are pre-diabetic. view more (2009-10-06)
Sugarcoating fruit fly development
Proteins are the executive agents that carry out all processes in a cell. Their activity is controlled and modified with the help of small chemical tags that can be dynamically added to and removed from the protein. view more (2009-06-01)
Sweet -- sugared polymer a new weapon against allergies and asthma
Scientists at Johns Hopkins and their colleagues have developed sugar-coated polymer strands that selectively kill off cells involved in triggering aggressive allergy and asthma attacks. view more (2009-11-20)
Moderate use averts failure of type 2 diabetes drugs in animal model
Drugs widely used to treat type 2 diabetes may be more likely to keep working if they are used in moderation, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found in a study using an animal model. view more (2008-10-28)
