Exercise alone shown to improve insulin sensitivity in obese sedentary adolescents
A moderate aerobic exercise program, without weight loss, can improve insulin sensitivity in both lean and obese sedentary adolescents. view more (2009-09-01)
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)
Obesity is a significant predictor of periodontal disease
Researchers from University at Buffalo found that obesity is a significant predictor for periodontal disease, independent of age, gender, race, ethnicity, and smoking. view more (2006-02-21)
Inheritance of hormonal disorder marked by excessive insulin in daughters
Elevated levels of insulin could be an early sign that girls whose mothers suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome -- or PCOS -- may also be susceptible to the disease, according to gynecologists who have found evidence of insulin resistance in young children. view more (2008-07-29)

Rapid-acting insulin analogues in diabetes mellitus type 1 -- superiority not proven
There is currently no evidence available of a superiority of rapid-acting insulin analogues over human insulin in the treatment of adult patients with diabetes mellitus type 1. view more (2007-07-18)
Temperature at birth linked to health later in life
Cold outdoor temperature at birth is associated with increased coronary heart disease and insulin resistance, high cholesterol levels, and poor lung function in later life, suggests a study in Heart. This link was strongest among those from the lowest social and economic classes. Researchers examined the effects of average outdoor temperature... view more... (2004-03-09)
Regulating the sugar factory in diabetes
Scientists in Sydney and Boston believe they may have identified a gene that controls abnormal production of sugar in the liver, a very troublesome problem for people with diabetes. view more (2009-05-21)

Intensive insulin therapy significantly increases the risk of hypoglycemia in critically ill patients. view more (2009-03-24)
NO ADDITIONAL BENEFIT FROM ORAL INSULIN FOR PEOPLE WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES (pp 526, 545)
Research published in this week's issue of THE LANCET shows that oral insulin does not slow the destruction of insulin-secreting cells in people with type 1 diabetes when taken in addition to intravenous insulin therapy. Oral administration of insulin can slow the progression of b-cell destruction in non-obese diabetic mice. Lucy Chaillous and... view more... (2000-08-09)
Is inhaled insulin delivery still a possibility? Why has it been a commercial failure?
The commercial failure of Exubera® (Pfizer, New York, NY), the first inhaled insulin product to come to market, led other companies such as Eli Lilly-Alkermes to halt studies of similar drug delivery in development intended to compete for a share of the lucrative diabetes market. view more (2009-09-24)
UCSD study clarifies insulin's role in blocking release of energy in patients with type II diabetes
Chronically high levels of insulin, as is found in many people with obesity and Type II diabetes, may block specific hormones that trigger energy release into the body. view more (2005-09-23)
New cause of critical illness hypeglycemia identified
The endocrinologic basis of pediatric critical illness hypergylcemia (CIH) differs depending on the disease processes. Researchers writing in BioMed Central's open access journal Critical Care describe how both peripheral insulin resistance and primary beta-cell dysfunction can cause CIH in children. view more (2009-02-26)
Self-monitoring of blood glucose
Diabetes patients should always control their own blood sugar values if this leads to improvements in their treatment. view more (2009-09-29)
Moderate use averts failure of type 2 diabetes drugs in animal model
Drugs widely used to treat type 2 diabetes may be more likely to keep working if they are used in moderation, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found in a study using an animal model. view more (2008-10-28)
Postmenopausal women with higher testosterone levels
Postmenopausal women who have higher testosterone levels may be at greater risk of heart disease, insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome compared to women with lower testosterone levels. view more (2009-11-04)
Fatty diets or high alcohol intake during pregnancy may lead to diabetes in children
Fatty diets or high alcohol intake during pregnancy may lead to diabetes in children Women who consume a high fat diet or who drink significant amounts of alcohol during pregnancy may increase the risk of their child developing diabetes as an adult according to a study in the current edition of the Journal of Endocrinology. A team led by Dr Sam... view more... (2002-04-25)
Glucose levels trigger compensation for type 2 diabetics
Many individuals with type 2 diabetes are diabetic because the cells of their body no longer respond to the hormone insulin, which is crucial for lowering blood sugar levels (blood glucose levels). view more (2007-01-03)
Pure insulin-producing cells produced in mouse
Singapore researchers have developed an unlimited number of pure insulin-producing cells from mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). view more (2008-11-21)
