Got Sugar? Glucose Affects Our Ability to Resist Temptation
New research from a lab at Florida State University reveals that self-control takes fuel-- literally. When we exercise it, resisting temptations to misbehave, our fuel tank is depleted, making subsequent efforts at self-control more difficult. view more (2007-12-04)
Blood testing, mosquito style
A skin patch could one day provide a less-invasive alternative for diabetics who need to take regular samples of their own blood to keep glucose levels in check. The common method of drawing blood from fingertips and using glucose testing strips and metres can be painful, inconvenient and time-consuming. view more (2009-04-24)
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)
PET imaging focuses on medication's purported ability to improve mental performance
Concerned by the growing numbers of people using stimulant medications such as methylphenidate (MP)-either legally or illegally-to improve attention and focus, researchers used positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with the radiotracer fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) to assess the effects of the drug on brain function in the normal human brain. view more (2008-06-17)
Reducing inflammation plays key role in type 1 diabetes therapy
Researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) have found that a triple combination therapy consisting of both tolerance-inducing and anti-inflammatory properties is successful in abolishing adverse autoimmunity against insulin-producing cells in a mouse model of Type 1 diabetes. view more (2007-08-01)
Diabetes Risk Factors Develop Earlier in Women than Men
The "diabetes clock" may start ticking in women years in advance of a medical diagnosis of the disease, new research has shown view more (2007-02-21)
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)
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)
JDRF-funded clinical trial demonstrates continuous glucose monitoring improves blood sugar control
Patients with type 1 diabetes who used continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices to help manage their disease experienced significant improvements in blood sugar control, according to initial results of a major multicenter clinical trial funded by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. view more (2008-09-09)
High-glycemic index carbohydrates associated with risk for developing type 2 diabetes in women
Eating foods high on the glycemic index, which measures the effect of carbohydrates on blood glucose levels, may be associated with the risk for developing type 2 diabetes in Chinese women and in African-American women. view more (2007-11-27)
Not all fat created equal
It has long been known that type 2 diabetes is linked to obesity, particularly fat inside the belly. Now, researchers at the Joslin Diabetes Center have found that fat from other areas of the body can actually reduce insulin resistance and improve insulin sensitivity. view more (2008-05-07)
Virtual food components take the guesswork out of healthy eating
Nutritional information as provided on food labels tell us little about the effects various food components actually have on our body. But that could change, thanks to a novel concept described by New Zealand researcher Dr John Monro in Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture this month - the use of virtual food components (VFCs) to... view more...

Scientists discover leptin can also aid type 1 diabetics
Terminally ill rodents with type 1 diabetes have been restored to full health with a single injection of a substance other than insulin by scientists at UT Southwestern Medical Center. view more (2008-08-26)
Hewitt Announces Details Of Massive £120 Million Science Share Out
Trade Secretary Patricia Hewitt today unveiled details of how more than 200 universities, colleges, and hospitals across the UK will benefit from a £120 million science jackpot. In April 2001, institutions were invited to bid for cash support to further exploit their research and development potential and forge stronger links with industry.... view more... (2001-10-01)

UCSF study shows suppression of telomerase enzyme can inhibit spread of melanoma
UCSF researchers have found that the spread of melanoma can be inhibited by suppressing telomerase, the enzyme active in cancer cell growth. view more (2006-07-11)
Researchers open door to potential treatments for type 2 diabetes
Researchers funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA) have identified an unsuspected role of a protein named SHP-1 that could constitute a new therapeutic path against Type 2 Diabetes. view more (2006-05-30)
