Gestational diabetes and low socioeconomic status raise risk of ADHD in children
In the first study of its kind, researchers at Queens College and Mount Sinai School of Medicine have found that low socioeconomic status (SES) and maternal gestational diabetes together may cause a 14-fold increased risk of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in six year olds.

Researchers investigate link between autoimmune diseases and wounds that don't heal
Millions of Americans suffer from wounds that don't heal, and while most are typically associated with diabetes, new research has identified another possible underlying cause - autoimmune diseases. View More (2011-12-16)
Insulin signaling is distorted in pancreases of Type 2 diabetics
Insulin signaling is altered in the pancreas, a new study shows for the first time in humans. The errant signals disrupt both the number and quality of beta cells - the cells that produce insulin. View More (2011-12-14)
Risk of stillbirth associated with factors known early in pregnancy
Stillbirth is associated with a range of health and socio-demographic factors identifiable before or at the start of pregnancy, including prior pregnancy outcomes, ethnicity and modifiable health factors, such as diabetes, obesity and smoking. View More (2011-12-14)

Brief, high-intensity workouts show promise in helping diabetics lower blood sugar: Study
Researchers at McMaster University have found that brief high intensity workouts, as little as six sessions over two weeks, rapidly lower blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetics, offering a potential fix for patients who struggle to meet exercise guidelines. View More (2011-12-13)
Exercising harder -- and shorter -- can help Type 2 diabetes
Regular exercise has proven benefits in preventing and treating type 2 diabetes, but many patients find it tough to meet the American Diabetes Association guidelines of 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise a week. View More (2011-12-13)

Low vitamin D levels may contribute to development of Type 2 diabetes
A recent study of obese and non-obese children found that low vitamin D levels are significantly more prevalent in obese children and are associated with risk factors for type 2 diabetes. View More (2011-12-05)
Unlocking the genetic and molecular mystery of soft-tissue sarcoma
Scientists at Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston have uncovered important molecular and genetic keys to the development of soft-tissue sarcomas in skeletal muscle, giving researchers and clinicians additional targets to stop the growth of these often deadly tumors. View More (2011-12-01)
Tools for predicting diabetes exist but are not used, research shows
New research from Queen Mary, University of London suggests that many cases of diabetes could be prevented by making use of existing prediction tools. View More (2011-11-30)
Diabetes drug shows promise in reducing risk of cancer
An inexpensive drug that treats Type-2 diabetes has been shown to prevent a number of natural and man-made chemicals from stimulating the growth of breast cancer cells, according to a newly published study by a Michigan State University researcher. View More (2011-11-28)
Restricted calorie diet improves heart function in obese patients with diabetes
A low-calorie diet eliminates insulin dependence and leads to improved heart function in obese patients with type 2 diabetes, according to a study presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). View More (2011-11-28)
