Association between depression severity and poor glycemic control among Hispanics with diabetes
In a study of more than 200 Hispanics with diabetes, researchers at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health and College of Physicians and Surgeons found a significant association between depression severity and poor glycemic control (PGC). The findings also confirm that less than one-half of the diabetes patients with moderate or... view more... (2005-05-26)
Pregnancy diabetes doubles the risk of language delay in children
Children born to mothers with pregnancy-related diabetes run twice the risk of language development problems, according to a research team directed by Professor Ginette Dionne of Université Laval's School of Psychology.
