Too much or too little sleep increases diabetes risk
Men who sleep too much or too little are at an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, according to a study by the New England Research Institutes in collaboration with Yale School of Medicine researchers. view more (2006-03-27)
CHEO RI study uses sophisticated genetic engineering to improve insulin-producing beta cells
One of the biggest mysteries about diabetes is why specialized cells in the pancreas stop secreting insulin, which the body needs in order to store glucose from food. view more (2009-10-08)
Should People With Diabetes Sleep With The Lights On?
A research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that night-time illumination could help prevent the onset of diabetic retinopathy, a condition which can result in severe visual impairment in people with diabetes. People with diabetes generally have impaired blood capillary function, which reduces oxygen uptake to body tissue,... view more... (2002-06-26)
Antidepressant drug may prevent recurrence of depression in patients with diabetes
A team of researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found that an antidepressant medication may reduce the risk of recurrent depression and increase the length of time between depressive episodes in patients with diabetes. view more (2006-05-09)
Dance to the music: Learning and exercising at YMCA can prevent diabetes
Community-based exercise organizations, such as the YMCA, are an effective tool in the fight against diabetes, according to a study by Indiana University School of Medicine researchers in the October 2008 issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. view more (2008-09-10)
Magic Beans — Anti-obesity soya could help prevent diabetes
A diet rich in black soya beans could help control weight, lower fat and cholesterol levels, and aid in the prevention of diabetes, reports Lisa Richards in Chemistry & Industry, the magazine of the SCI. view more (2007-02-26)
Scientists discover new genetic variation that contributes to diabetes
Scientists have identified a genetic variation in people with type 2 diabetes that affects how the body's muscle cells respond to the hormone insulin, in a new study published today in Nature Genetics. The researchers, from Imperial College London and other international institutions, say the findings highlight a new target for scientists... view more... (2009-09-08)
Alcohol not likely to protect against type II diabetes
Alcohol is unlikely to protect drinkers from the risk of developing adult onset (type II) diabetes, concludes research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. Alcohol seems to confer only a slight advantage in moderate drinkers, the research shows. To date, the effects of light to moderate alcohol consumption on the risk of developing... view more...

New genetic biomarkers could predict coronary heart disease
New genetic markers may be able to predict whether a person is likely to have coronary heart disease (CAD) in the future. Research carried out by Dr. M. Balasubramanyam and Dr.V.Mohan at the Madras Diabetes Research Foundation (India) shows that people who are pre-diabetic or who have Type 2 diabetes have much shorter telomeres1 and, since these... view more...

A Mother's Obesity Can Cause Malformations In Her Children
A study of more than 2000 children of women with gestational diabetes (the diabetes that some women get during pregnancy) has revealed that obesity in mothers is one of the most decisive factors contributing to the appearance of congenital malformations in their children, even more so than the seriousness of the diabetes. The research, published... view more... (2004-07-16)
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)
Scientists show that mitochondrial DNA variants are linked to risk factors for type 2 diabetes
Today, researchers report for the first time that genetic variants in mitochondria-energy-producing structures harboring DNA that are inherited only from the mother-are directly linked to metabolic markers for type 2 diabetes. view more (2007-08-13)
Early Promise Of New Treatment For Type 2 Diabetes (p 824)
Authors of a pilot study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that a naturally occurring intestinal hormone could be beneficial for the future treatment of type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes affects an estimated 10% of adults over 60 years of age, and has recently been reported in teenage children. Treatment for the disorder usually includes... view more... (2002-03-06)
Overweight Hispanic children at significant risk for pre-diabetes, according to new USC study
A study by researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) found that overweight Hispanic children are at significant risk for pre-diabetes, a condition marked by higher than normal blood glucose levels that are not yet high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes. view more (2008-08-13)
New once-a-week treatment for type 2 diabetes developed by Mount Sinai researcher
In a study published by the Lancet journal today, Toronto researcher Dr. Daniel Drucker reported that a new once-weekly treatment for type 2 diabetes could replace the more common twice-daily injection. view more (2008-09-08)
Growing diabetes epidemic: Patient/physician disconnect on disease management
Limited understanding of disease progression and frustration with disease management contribute to the clinical challenge of meeting the rising type 2 diabetes epidemic in America. view more (2006-06-01)
Study finds new evidence of periodontal disease leading to gestational diabetes
A new study by NYU dental researchers has uncovered evidence that pregnant women with periodontal (gum) disease face an increased risk of developing gestational diabetes even if they don't smoke or drink, a finding that underscores how important it is for all expectant mothers - even those without other risk factors - to maintain good oral health. view more (2009-04-06)
New 4-year Study To Examine Effects Of Reducing Insulin Resistance On Cardiovascular Risk
Takeda UK Ltd (Takeda) today confirmed that 60 UK centres will participate in the PROspective pioglitAzone Clinical Trial In macroVascular Events (PROactive). PROactive will enroll 5,000 patients in 10 European countries and will last four years. Of the 5,000 patients who will be enrolled it is anticipated that 800 will be from the UK. The trial... view more... (2001-08-29)
Losing weight soon after type 2 diabetes diagnosis doubles positive outcomes
People who lose weight soon after a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes have better control of their blood pressure and blood sugar, and are more likely to maintain that control even if they regain their weight, according to a Kaiser Permanente study published online in Diabetes Care, the American Diabetes Association journal. view more (2008-08-12)
Study confirms intensive treatment of diabetic patients significantly reduces heart disease
New study results confirm, for the first time, that intensive treatment of diabetic patients results in a significantly lower risk of heart disease. In fact, it can cut the risk of cardiovascular disease nearly in half. view more (2005-06-17)
