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)
Scientists closer to understanding how to control high blood sugar
Scientists are closer to understanding which proteins help control blood sugar, or glucose, during and after exercise. This understanding could lead to new drug therapies or more effective exercise to prevent Type 2 diabetes and other health problems associated with having high blood sugar. view more (2009-03-19)
Pumpkin: A fairytale end to insulin injections?
Compounds found in pumpkin could potentially replace or at least drastically reduce the daily insulin injections that so many diabetics currently have to endure. view more (2007-07-09)
Diabetes research at UH 'crystalizes' with major finding
A University of Houston professor and his student have made a major discovery in the field of diabetes research and diagnosis, finding a new mechanism for the formation of insulin crystals in the pancreas. view more (2006-05-10)
Ethnic background may be associated with diabetes risk
Fat and muscle mass, as potentially determined by a person's ethnic background, may contribute to diabetes risk, according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). view more (2009-10-06)
New approach to insulin treatment improves patients` lives
Training patients with diabetes to adjust their insulin doses to match their food choices, improves diabetes control and quality of life, finds a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-10-02)
Overweight, insulin resistant women at greater risk of advanced breast cancer diagnosis, says study
Women who have risk factors commonly associated with Type 2 diabetes also have much greater odds of being diagnosed with an advanced breast cancer. view more (2008-07-08)
Children's Hospital studying drug with the potential to prevent/delay onset of type 1 diabetes
Researchers at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC are participating in an international clinical trial currently underway to study the effectiveness of oral insulin in preventing or delaying the onset of type 1 diabetes in people at risk for the disease. view more (2007-11-12)
Drug could improve pregnancy outcomes in wider range of women with insulin resistance
Women who are obese, have type 2 diabetes or a family history of type 2 diabetes could one day have more successful pregnancies because of a study at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2007-09-07)
Lots of low-fat food is better than small portions of high-fat food
Dutch research has shown that a diet of low-fat products is better than smaller portions of normal high-fat food for preventing diabetes in obese people. Mice put on a low-fat diet were more sensitive to insulin than mice that received the same amount of energy in the form of high-fat food. Martin Muurling put obese mice on different diets in... view more... (2004-02-05)
Diabetes researchers gather in Brighton
Diabetes affects up to 20 million people in the EU and is becoming increasingly prevalent among the aged. The disease is associated with a high incidence of secondary complications including, blindness, kidney failure and strokes. The primary cause of diabetes is the loss or impaired function of insulin-producing cells located in the islets of the... view more... (1999-02-01)
Apelin hormone injections powerfully lower blood sugar
By injecting a hormone produced by fat and other tissues into mice, researchers report in the November Cell Metabolism that they significantly lowered blood sugar levels in normal and obese mice. view more (2008-11-05)
Joslin study indicates insulin receptors play a critical role in promoting islet growth
A new Joslin-led study has identified the insulin receptor as an important protein that promotes islet cell growth in mice whose bodies are unable to use insulin properly, or are insulin resistant, a precursor to type 2 diabetes. view more (2007-04-03)
Race may be risk factor for insulin resistance
Black women — even if their weight is normal — may be at increased risk for insulin resistance, a condition associated with diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart vessel disease, according to new research by Wake Forest University School of Medicine. view more (2006-06-27)
Link between obesity and diabetes discovered
A Monash University study has proven a critical link between obesity and the onset of Type 2 diabetes, a discovery which could lead to the design of a drug to prevent the disease. view more (2009-07-08)
Tribble 3 can induce non-alcoholic fatty liver disease?
Three pseudo kinases of the Tribbles family have been recently recognized, which include TRB1, TRB2 and TRB3. view more (2009-06-11)
Leptin's long-distance call to the pancreas
Rube Goldberg-the cartoonist who devised complex machines for simple tasks-would have smiled at one of leptin's mechanisms for curbing insulin release. view more (2008-12-22)
Researchers identify new target in fight against obesity
University of Cincinnati (UC) scientists have identified a possible new target for treating obesity and diabetes. view more (2005-09-20)
Controlling body size by regulating the number of cells
Why are elephants bigger than mice? The main reason is that mice have fewer cells. Research published in Journal of Biology this week uncovers a key pathway that controls the number of cells in an animal, thereby controlling its size. Ernst Hafen and his colleagues from the University of Zürich used fruit flies to investigate the role of the... view more... (2003-08-05)
