Researchers discover mechanism of insulin production that can lead to better treatment for diabetes
How a specific gene within the pancreas affects secretion of insulin has been discovered by researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, in collaboration with Japanese and American universities.   view more (2009-11-13)

Coffee Addicts At Reduced Risk Of Type 2 Diabetes? (p 1477)
High coffee consumption could be associated with a rduced risk of type 2 diabetes, suggest Dutch authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Caffeine is known to reduce sensitivity to insulin (responsible for the metabolism of glucose), although other components of coffee such as magnesium and chlorogenic acid could offer some... view more...

Public event highlights lifesaving risk assessment test for Type 2 diabetes
The vital role that screening tests can play in the early identification and treatment of Type 2 diabetes has been highlighted at a public event in Oxford run by DiagnOx, the organisation that aims to increase the commercialisation of UK diagnostics research and BIVDA (the British In-Vitro Diagnostics Association). The audience at the event... view more... (2004-03-11)

LIAI scientists make major finding on potential cure for type 1 diabetes
A major finding, which represents an important step toward a potential cure for type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes, has been made by a research team at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology (LIAI).   view more (2006-04-21)

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)

Learning the risks for stroke - and taking action
With this theme in mind, the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) emphasises that most of the risks for stroke are also the major risks for coronary heart disease - and thus the object of the ESC's far-reaching prevention programme.   view more (2009-10-26)

New studies on the Mediterranean diet confirm its effectiveness for chronic disease prevention
Scientists of the Instituto de Nutrición y Tecnología de los Alimentos (Institute of Nutrition and Food Technology) of the University of Granada (UGR, Spain) have been doing research into the positive effects of Mediterranean diet's ingredients on health.   view more (2008-09-08)

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)

People with type 2 diabetes not meeting important nutritional recommendations
People with type 2 diabetes are not consuming sufficiently healthy diets and could benefit from ongoing nutritional education and counseling.   view more (2009-09-04)

Cancer-obesity link discovery by MSU researchers could aid prevention efforts
A new link between body fat and cancer identified by a Michigan State University researcher underscores obesity's health risk and could lead to new cancer treatment and prevention strategies.   view more (2009-05-01)

Food - Can It Really Prevent Cancer?
Food is a major and underused anticancer weapon, according to the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Cancer. In collaboration with the Institute of Food Research, the Group is calling for diet to be better deployed in reducing cancer risk in the UK. "With dietary interventions, we have the potential to prevent around a third of all... view more... (2003-10-21)

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)

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)
