Study identifies glucose 'sensor' that plays dual role in glucose metabolism and fat synthesis
In the study, glucose is shown to stimulate the activity of the Liver X Receptors (LXR) a and b, The LXRs act as sensors of dietary components, orchestrating the body's response to nutrients such as oxysterols (short-lived derivatives of cholesterol) and controlling gene expression linked to cholesterol and fat metabolism. view more (2006-12-27)
Apelin hormone injections powerfully lower blood sugar
By injecting a hormone produced by fat and other tissues into mice, researchers report in the November Cell Metabolism that they significantly lowered blood sugar levels in normal and obese mice. view more (2008-11-05)
Should children undergo surgery without a long period of fasting after feeding?
Blood glucose levels in a lot of patients fed normal liquid food (NLF) and a high calorie diet (HCD) were high. view more (2009-10-29)
People with diabetes may have all natural citrus supplement
Two new studies presented at the Experimental Biology Annual Meeting suggest that an all-natural dietary supplement made from citrus may help people with type 2 diabetes lower their blood glucose numbers after a meal and their LDL-cholesterol levels. view more (2008-04-09)
UCLA researchers clarify function of glucose transport molecule
Researchers at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA have solved the structure of a class of proteins known as sodium glucose co-transporters (SGLTs), which pump glucose into cells. view more (2008-07-07)
Discovery of new signal pathway important to diabetes research
Scientists at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and Miami University have discovered that cells in the pancreas cooperate - signal - in a way hitherto unknown. The discovery can eventually be of significance to the treatment of diabetes. view more (2008-06-05)
Two tests better than one for diabetes control, Johns Hopkins expert tells doctors
In a strongly worded review published in the recent edition of The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the head of the Johns Hopkins Diabetes Center urges physicians and patients to better use the blood-testing tools at hand to manage the disease and prevent most of its dire impact on the heart, kidneys, nerves and vision. view more (2006-04-14)
ESC Congress 2004: Cardiologists Should Care About Glucose: Most People with CV Disease or Risk Factors Have Diabetes or Significant Glycaemic Abnormalities.
The aim of our study was to find out how common diabetes and, more interestingly, other glucose and insulin abnormalities (e.g. pre-diabetes) are in patients with different types of cardiovascular disease (CVD - disease of the heart or arteries) or risk factors for CVD. view more (2004-08-30)
Overweight siblings of children with type 2 diabetes likely to have abnormal blood sugar levels
Overweight siblings of children with type 2 diabetes are four times more likely to have abnormal glucose levels compared to other overweight children. Because abnormal glucose levels may indicate risk for diabetes or diabetes itself, these children could benefit from screening tests and diabetes prevention education. view more (2008-12-10)

Biologists have determined the three-dimensional structure of an unusual viral enzyme that is required in the assembly of new viruses. view more (2007-09-18)
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)
'Smart' process may boost economics of biofuel production
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory believe they've identified a simpler way to generate biofuels - a one-step process to convert cellulose found in plant material and other biomass into a chemical that can serve as a precursor to make fuels and plastics. view more (2009-06-08)
Increased glucose level is a strong risk factor for colorectal cancer
Diabetes is a very common illness that affects more than 20 million people in the U.S. and it is estimated an additional 54 million Americans have pre-diabetes, a condition that occurs when a person's blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. view more (2007-11-02)
Even 'high normal' glucose levels may increase the risk of hospitalization for heart failure
Fasting glucose levels may independently predict the risk of being hospitalized with congestive heart failure in heart attack survivors and others who are at high risk of developing the disorder, researchers reported in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2007-03-07)
Flat carbonated drinks not an effective alternative to oral rehydration solution
'Flat' carbonated drinks should not be used as an alternative for oral rehydration solution to prevent dehydration in children with acute vomiting and diarrhoea, according to advice published in the May issue of Archives of Disease in Childhood. view more (2008-05-27)
Cranfield Collaborator Receives Multi Million Dollar Financing
Cranfield University has been at the forefront of diabetes diagnostics for over twenty years and created the current generation of home blood glucose testing devices used throughout the world. More recently, the University has been working with Pelikan Technologies in Palo Alto, USA to develop the ultimate painless and convenient system and... view more... (2004-11-05)
New insights in diagnosing diabetes may help the millions who are undiagnosed
In light of the 6.2 million Americans who don't realize they have diabetes, a panel of experts examined the current criteria for screening and diagnosing the disease and found a significant need for improvement. view more (2008-05-27)
Researchers find glycemic index effective in composite meals
Researchers in the University of Toronto's Department of Nutritional Sciences have some reassurance for diabetics and carb-counters. The glycemic index (GI), the table that lists the quality of carbohydrates in more than 750 common foods, works just as predictably whether subjects consume a single portion of one item, or a normal meal. view more (2006-06-26)
Fructose-sweetened drinks increase nonfasting triglycerides in obese adults
Obese people who drink fructose-sweetened beverages with their meals have an increased rise of triglycerides following the meal, according to new research from the Monell Center. view more (2009-02-13)
Glucose triggers brain cell death in rats after hypoglycemic coma
Brain damage that was thought to be caused by hypoglycemic coma actually occurs when glucose is administered to treat the coma, according to a study in rodents led by researchers at the San Francisco VA Medical Center. view more (2007-04-05)
