New TAU Research Links Diabetes to Cognitive Deterioration
Blindness, renal failure, stroke and heart disease are potential complications of type 2 diabetes, which currently afflicts more than 15 million Americans. Now research from Tel Aviv University has found more worrying news ― type 2 diabetes can be a risk factor accelerating cognitive decline and dementia. view more (2009-03-06)
Coping and copulation behavior may help calculate diabetes risk
Discussion of a man's background, attitude, and sexual history isn't just the fodder of Sex and The City episodes - in the future, it could also be a way of evaluating his risk of diabetes. view more (2008-11-06)
Class of medications may offer alternative option for treating type 2 diabetes
A review of previous studies indicates that use of a class of medications known as "incretin-based therapy", which act via certain pathways that affect glucose metabolism may provide modest effectiveness and favorable weight change outcomes for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and may represent an alternative to other hypoglycemic... view more...

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)
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)
Sleep apnea may increase risk of diabetes
Researchers at the Yale University School of Medicine have found that patients with obstructive sleep apnea are at increased risk for developing of type II diabetes. view more (2007-05-21)
Cardiac stent patients with diabetes may benefit from drug that counteracts the effects of leptin
The naturally high levels of leptin in diabetic patients may reduce the effectiveness of drug-eluting stents used to treat heart blockages, but using a chemical that differs from the one commonly used to coat stents could counteract this effect. view more (2008-12-18)
Gaining too much weight during pregnancy nearly doubles risk of having a heavy baby
A study by the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research of more than 40,000 women and their babies found that women who gained more than 40 pounds during their pregnancies were nearly twice as likely to have a heavy baby. view more (2008-10-31)
Type 1 diabetes triggered by 'lazy' regulatory T-cells: McGill researchers
A research team led by Dr. Ciriaco A. Piccirillo of McGill University's Department of Microbiology and Immunology has discovered that in some individuals, the specialized immunoregulatory T-cells that regulate the body's autoimmune reactions may lose their effectiveness and become "lazy" over time, leading to the onset of type 1 diabetes. view more (2008-01-16)
75 million SEK for Swedish stem cell research
Swedish stem cell research is to receive a supplement of 75 million SEK over five years. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International (JDRF), the world’s leading nonprofit, nongovernmental funder of diabetes research will contribute with 50 million SEK. The Swedish Research Council contributes with 20 million and the Swedish... view more... (2002-03-21)
The anti-diabetic effects of sodium tungstate revealed
The molecular mechanisms of tungstate activity in diabetes have been uncovered. Researchers writing in the open access journal BMC Genomics have identified the pathways through which sodium tungstate improves pancreatic function and beta cell proliferation. view more (2009-08-28)
UC Davis researchers discover novel pathway to increased inflammation in diabetes patients
Researchers at UC Davis Health System have discovered a novel pathway that results in increased inflammation of blood vessels in patients with type 1 diabetes. view more (2007-11-28)
Minority, low-income diabetics least likely to monitor their blood glucose
Black and Hispanic adults with insulin-treated diabetes are less likely than whites to monitor their blood glucose, according to a new study presented at the American Heart Association's 48th Annual Conference on Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention. view more (2008-03-17)
Diabetes drug may reduce cardiovascular risks
A drug commonly used to increase the body's sensitivity to insulin may slow the progression of cardiovascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes. view more (2006-11-14)
Stem cell infusion and hyperbaric oxygen treatment improve islet function in diabetes
A study to determine if patients with type 2 diabetes can benefit from a combination of autologous (patient self-donated) stem cell infusions (ASC) and hyperbaric (above the normal air pressure of ) oxygen treatment (HBO) before and after ASC has found "significant benefits" in terms of "improvements in glycemic control" along... view more...

NYU, Scripps finding offers new path for treatment of diabetes
Researchers at New York University and the Scripps Research Institute have discovered a new enzyme, GAPDH, which regulates insulin pathways-a finding that offers a new direction for the treatment of diabetes. view more (2006-11-28)
Drugs targeted at muscle cells can be of use in the treatment of diabetes patients with insulin resistance
Type 2 diabetes is a clinical disease characterised by disruption to the metabolism of glucose and lipids as well as to the production of and physiological reactions to insulin. These disruptions are partly due to a reduced absorption of glucose in the cells that form the body's fat and muscle tissue. Now scientists at Karolinska Institutet have... view more... (2005-04-18)
For High Blood Pressure Patients, Preventing or Reducing Enlarged Heart May Decrease Risk for Diabetes
High-blood-pressure patients treated for enlarged heart (left ventricular hypertrophy, LVH) who have regression or prevention of LVH may also have a better chance of preventing diabetes. view more (2007-11-01)
Effect of diabetes on heart may differ by ethnicity, study finds
Diabetes strongly increases the risk of heart failure in all ethnic groups, but early effects of diabetes on the heart may differ depending on whether the subjects are white, African-American, Hispanic or Chinese. view more (2006-03-09)
Pills or papayas? Survey finds Americans want healthful foods, not more medicines
If you thought Americans would rather pop a pill to treat illness than make major diet changes, think again. A new survey shows the vast majority would rather change their diets—including trying a vegetarian diet—than use medicines. view more (2007-02-05)
