Jefferson scientists find high glucose before surgery raises risk of dangerous complications
Patients who have high blood sugar before undergoing surgery run an increased risk of developing blood clots, deep vein thrombosis and even pulmonary embolism after surgery. view more (2006-10-16)
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)
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)
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)
Joslin Researchers Discover a Surprising Culprit in the Search for Causes of Diabetic Birth Defects
Over the past several years, Joslin Investigator Mary R. Loeken, Ph.D., and her colleagues at Joslin Diabetes Center have unlocked several mysteries behind what puts women with diabetes more at risk of having a child with birth defects. view more (2007-03-06)
Diabetic hearts make unhealthy switch to high-fat diet
The high-fat "diet" that diabetic heart muscle consumes helps make cardiovascular disease the most common killer of diabetic patients, according to a study done at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2006-02-06)
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)
The link between fasting and acute attacks of porphyria
A team of researchers has discovered a molecular missing link that helps explain why fasting brings on acute attacks of the genetic disease hepatic porphyria. view more (2005-08-26)
Small RNA plays parallel roles in bacterial metabolism
They are often overlooked, and were once thought to be too small to contribute much to major cellular processes, but in recent years the study of small ribonucleic acids (sRNA) has gained momentum. view more (2007-11-30)
Study further expands understanding of leptin's role in brain neurocircuitry
In investigating the complex neurocircuitry behind weight gain and glucose control, scientists have known that the hormone leptin plays a key role in the process. view more (2009-06-03)
Insulin resistance in early teens may predict diabetes, heart disease for adults
The body's decreased response to insulin beginning as early as age 13 may mean increased cardiovascular disease risk by age 19, according to research reported in Hypertension: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2006-08-22)
Self monitoring of blood glucose levels helps patients with diabetes
Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) enables those with diabetes to modify their behavior, adjust their medicine and understand their disease to better manage it. view more (2009-10-02)
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)
During exercise, the human brain shifts into high gear on 'alternative energy'
Alternative energy is all the rage in major media headlines, but for the human brain, this is old news. According to a study by researchers from Denmark and The Netherlands published in the October 2008 print issue of The FASEB Journal, the brain, just like muscles, works harder during strenuous exercise and is fueled by lactate, rather than... view more...

Dangerous interaction between cholesterol-lowering drug and antidiabetic drug
Researchers from the University of Helsinki, Finland have found that the cholesterol-lowering agent gemfibrozil (marketed as Lopid and generics) greatly increases the concentrations of repaglinide (Novonorm, Prandin) in blood. This interaction considerably enhances and prolongs the blood glucose-lowering effect of repaglinide. Concomitant use of... view more... (2003-04-16)
Mothers' high normal blood sugar levels place infants at risk for birth problems
Pregnant women with blood sugar levels in the higher range of normal-but not high enough to be considered diabetes-are more likely than women with lower blood sugar levels to give birth to babies at risk for many of the same problems seen in babies born to women with diabetes during pregnancy, according to a study funded in large part by the... view more...

Losartan prevents life-threatening insulin resistance in burn injuries
Researchers have found a way to prevent insulin resistance in burn-injured rats, a finding that, while still quite preliminary, could eventually save burn victims' lives and speed their recovery. view more (2006-04-06)
Food for thought -- regulating energy supply to the brain during fasting
If the current financial climate has taught us anything, it's that a system where over-borrowing goes unchecked eventually ends in disaster. It turns out this rule applies as much to our bodies as it does to economics. Instead of cash, our body deals in energy borrowed from muscle and given to the brain. view more (2008-10-06)
Discovery of 'sugar sensor' in intestine could benefit diabetes
Diabetes patients could benefit from new research at the University of Liverpool that has identified a molecule in the intestine that can 'taste' the sugar content of the diet. view more (2007-08-22)
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)
