A study reveals today that inadequate blood sugar control in patients having heart surgery is associated with a four fold increase in post-surgery death and major complications - and that the blood sugar disturbances occur in patients with and without diabetes. view more (2008-07-08)
UCSF discovers new glucose-regulating protein linked with diabetes
Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, and collaborators at Harvard Medical School have linked a specialized protein in human muscles to the process that clears glucose out of the bloodstream, shedding light on what goes wrong in type 2 diabetes on a cellular level. view more (2009-05-29)
Alcohol not likely to protect against type II diabetes
Alcohol is unlikely to protect drinkers from the risk of developing adult onset (type II) diabetes, concludes research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. Alcohol seems to confer only a slight advantage in moderate drinkers, the research shows. To date, the effects of light to moderate alcohol consumption on the risk of developing... view more...

Sugary drinks, not fruit juice, may be linked to insulin
Steady increases in consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages over the last several decades, as well as rates of Type 2 diabetes mellitus, led nutritional epidemiologists at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (USDA HNRCA) at Tufts University and colleagues to explore the relationship between sugar-sweetened beverage... view more...

Despite overeating, morbidly obese mice gain protection against diabetes
The "world's fattest mice" can overeat without developing insulin resistance or diabetes thanks to a glut of a key hormone, a dichotomy that helps explain why not all obese people are diabetic, a UT Southwestern Medical Center researcher has found. view more (2007-08-24)
Losing weight and reducing risk of diabetes: Diet and exercise work equally well
It's a toss up, according to a new study by a Saint Louis University researcher who is a member of a Washington University team of scientists examining whether a calorie-restrictive diet can extend people's lifespan. view more (2006-11-08)

Public event highlights lifesaving risk assessment test for Type 2 diabetes
The vital role that screening tests can play in the early identification and treatment of Type 2 diabetes has been highlighted at a public event in Oxford run by DiagnOx, the organisation that aims to increase the commercialisation of UK diagnostics research and BIVDA (the British In-Vitro Diagnostics Association). The audience at the event... view more... (2004-03-11)
Periodontal diseases may aggravate pre-diabetic characteristics
Periodontal diseases may contribute to the progression to pre-diabetes, according to a new study that appears in the March issue of the Journal of Periodontology. view more (2007-03-14)
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)
Study finds new evidence of periodontal disease leading to gestational diabetes
A new study by NYU dental researchers has uncovered evidence that pregnant women with periodontal (gum) disease face an increased risk of developing gestational diabetes even if they don't smoke or drink, a finding that underscores how important it is for all expectant mothers - even those without other risk factors - to maintain good oral health. view more (2009-04-06)

Having elevated risk factors in young adulthood raises risk of coronary calcium later on
Having above optimal levels of risk factors for heart disease between the ages of 18 and 30 can mean a two to three times greater risk of later developing coronary calcium, a strong predictor of heart disease. view more (2007-04-17)
