Personalised doses of insulin
Diabetes is a widespread illness affecting 5 per cent of the population. In diabetics the metabolism produces an excess of glucose in the blood and, as a result, a number of sufferers need doses of insulin which allows them to regulate their glucose levels. Currently, the method of administering insulin to diabetic patients making use of... view more... (2003-02-05)

Too much or too little sleep increases risk of diabetes
Researchers at Université Laval's Faculty of Medicine have found that people who sleep too much or not enough are at greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance.   view more (2009-04-22)

Growth hormone reduces abdominal fat, cardiovascular risk in HIV patients on antiviral therapy
Low-dose growth hormone treatment reduced abdominal fat deposits and improved blood pressure and triglyceride levels in a group of patients with HIV lipodystrophy, a condition involving the redistribution of fat and other metabolic changes in patients receiving combination drug therapy for HIV infection.   view more (2008-08-04)

Growth hormone treatment for HIV patients improves abdominal fat, but worsens glucose level
For human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients with treatment-related abdominal obesity and growth hormone deficiency, receiving low-dose growth hormone resulted in improvement in fat and blood pressure measurements but worsened glucose levels.   view more (2008-08-04)

Antarctic research shows night shift workers at risk from heart disease
Antarctic research shows night shift workers at risk from heart disease Night-shift workers may be at increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) according to the latest research conducted in Antarctica. These findings could be of key importance to the UK economy, as a fifth of the country`s workforce are shift workers. A study by Mr... view more... (2001-12-19)

Limiting fructose may boost weight loss, UT Southwestern researcher reports
One of the reasons people on low-carbohydrate diets may lose weight is that they reduce their intake of fructose, a type of sugar that can be made into body fat quickly, according to a researcher at UT Southwestern Medical Center.   view more (2008-07-24)

An Australian-led diabetes study shows intensive glucose control reduces serious complications
An Australian led global study, the largest of its kind, has found that the risk of developing serious kidney disease and other complications amongst our 1.2 million people living with diabetes can be significantly reduced by intensively lowering blood glucose (sugar) levels beyond what is currently standard practice.   view more (2008-06-10)

Low-carbohydrate diet burns more excess liver fat than low-calorie diet, study finds
People on low-carbohydrate diets are more dependent on the oxidation of fat in the liver for energy than those on a low-calorie diet, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found in a small clinical study.   view more (2009-01-21)

ADVANCE diabetes trial results confirm no evidence of safety risk
Data from the ADVANCE Study, involving 11,140 high-risk patients with type 2 diabetes, provides no evidence of an increased risk of death among those patients receiving aggressive treatment to lower blood glucose.   view more (2008-02-29)

Nanoreactors for Reaction Cascades
Living cells are highly complex synthetic machines: Numerous multistep reactions run simultaneously side by side and with unbelievable efficiency and specificity. For these mainly enzymatic reactions to work so well collectively, nature makes use of a variety of concepts.   view more (2007-08-21)

New project to analyze why Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and insulin resistance are so closely linked
Understanding the link between Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and insulin resistance is the aim of a new project announced today, funded by the charity WellBeing of Women.   view more (2007-03-13)

Protein that regulates aging may provide key to new diabetes therapies
Opening the possibility of new therapies for type 2 diabetes, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that a protein called Sirt1 enhances the secretion of insulin in mice and allows them to better control blood glucose levels.   view more (2005-08-19)

Researchers at Columbia University Medical Center link blood sugar to normal cognitive aging
Maintaining blood sugar levels, even in the absence of disease, may be an important strategy for preserving cognitive health, suggests a study published by researchers at Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC). The study appeared in the December issue of Annals of Neurology.   view more (2008-12-30)

Discovery of new gene associated with diabetes risk suggests link with body clock
A connection between the body clock and abnormalities in metabolism and diabetes has been suggested in new research by an international team involving the University of Oxford, the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and the MRC Epidemiology Unit in Cambridge.   view more (2008-12-08)

New genes present drug targets for managing cholesterol and glucose levels
Scientists have identified 12 new genes that are somewhat strange bedfellows: Some link gallstones and blood cholesterol levels, others link melatonin and sleep patterns to small increases in glucose levels and larger jumps in the risk of diabetes.   view more (2008-12-08)

Study shows cane sugar, corn sweeteners have similar effects on appetite
