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...

Researchers identify a role for glucose-sensing neurons in type 2 diabetes
In cases of Type 2 diabetes, the body's cells fail to appropriately regulate blood glucose levels. Research has suggested that this results from two simultaneous problems: the improper functioning of pancreatic beta cells and the impairment of insulin's actions on target tissues, including the liver, fat and muscles. view more (2007-08-30)
Diabetics to benefit as clinical chemistry gets under the skin
Water makes up more than 70 percent of our bodies, and our skin works like an oily film providing an effective barrier to keep water and the other charged substances inside us. But skin is not an impermeable material, and charged substances from inside the body can be made to cross the skin barrier by applying an electric field. Iontophoresis is a... view more...

Drugs targeted at muscle cells can be of use in the treatment of diabetes patients with insulin resistance
Type 2 diabetes is a clinical disease characterised by disruption to the metabolism of glucose and lipids as well as to the production of and physiological reactions to insulin. These disruptions are partly due to a reduced absorption of glucose in the cells that form the body's fat and muscle tissue. Now scientists at Karolinska Institutet have... view more... (2005-04-18)
Carrot cake study on sugar in type 2 diabetes
Patients with type 2 diabetes are often advised to cut out sucrose (table sugar) all together. However, in recent years this traditional advice has been questioned by some researchers who suggest that moderate amounts of sugar can be safely consumed as part of the diet of patients with diabetes. view more (2008-01-09)
Salmonella's sweet tooth predicts its downfall
For the first time UK scientists have shown what the food poisoning bug Salmonella feeds on to survive as it causes infection: glucose. view more (2009-05-20)
Smoking, low levels of education and glucose tolerance increase risk of rheumatoid arthritis
New data presented today at EULAR 2007, the Annual European Congress of Rheumatology in Barcelona, Spain, sheds light on the role of environmental and genetic risk factors in the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). view more (2007-06-18)
Physical activity linked to improved glucose control in children with type 1 diabetes
Children with type 1 diabetes who exercise regularly may have improved blood glucose levels compared with those who do not, and regular physical activity does not appear to increase the risk of severe hypoglycemia (low blood glucose levels). view more (2006-06-06)
Pure fructose frequently confused with high fructose corn syrup
As researchers continue to examine the role of sweeteners in the diet, it's important that people understand the differences among various ingredients used in scientific studies, according to the Corn Refiners Association (CRA). Interchanging two distinctly different ingredients, such as pure fructose and high fructose corn syrup, creates... view more... (2009-03-05)
Cognitive problems associated with diabetes duration and severity
Individuals with mild cognitive impairment appear more likely to have earlier onset, longer duration and greater severity of diabetes, according to a report in the August issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-08-12)
Regulating the sugar factory in diabetes
Scientists in Sydney and Boston believe they may have identified a gene that controls abnormal production of sugar in the liver, a very troublesome problem for people with diabetes. view more (2009-05-21)
Hopkins researchers discover potential new approach to treating diabetes
Scientists at Johns Hopkins have uncovered a surprising and novel way of lowering blood sugar levels in mice by manipulating the release of sugar by liver cells. The results, published in the June issue of Cell Metabolism, have implications for treating conditions like diabetes. view more (2006-06-09)
Type 2 Diabetes Linked To Prenatal Diabetic Environment?
A preliminary study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that offspring of mothers with type 1 diabetes could be at an increased risk of type 2 diabetes in adult life-even in the absence of inherited type 1 or type 2 diabetic disease. Type 2 diabetes generally occurs in adulthood and is caused by both genetic and environmental factors (such... view more... (2003-05-28)
Grape skin compound fights the complications of diabetes
Research carried out by scientists at the Peninsula Medical School in the South West of England has found that resveratrol, a compound present naturally in grape skin, can protect against the cellular damage to blood vessels caused by high production of glucose in diabetes, according to a paper published in the science journal "Diabetes,... view more...

Cancers' Sweet Tooth May Be Weakness
The pedal-to-the-metal signals driving the growth of several types of cancer cells lead to a common switch governing the use of glucose, researchers at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University have discovered. view more (2009-11-19)
Routine diabetes screenings could cut health-care costs
Screening adults for diabetes could result in significant cost-savings for health care systems compared to the costs of not screening individuals at all. view more (2009-06-08)
Self monitoring of blood glucose levels helps patients with diabetes
