Cross-species transplant in rhesus macaques is step toward diabetes cure for humans
With an eye on curing diabetes, scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have successfully transplanted embryonic pig pancreatic cells destined to produce insulin into diabetic macaque monkeys - all without the need for risky immune suppression drugs that prevent rejection. view more (2007-10-19)
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...

Use of insulin pen may save diabetics thousands of dollars
Diabetics who need to switch from oral medications to insulin could reduce their annual health care costs up to $17,000 by using an insulin pen instead of a syringe to deliver their daily dose of medication. A new study found that using an insulin pen may result in fewer trips to the emergency department and to the doctor's office, resulting in... view more... (2007-08-21)

Human beta cells can be easily induced to replicate, according to study in Diabetes
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine have successfully induced human insulin-producing cells, known as beta cells, to replicate robustly in a living animal, as well as in the lab. view more (2009-01-14)
Scarring key to link between obesity and diabetes
The team, in collaboration with University Hospital Aintree, the University of Warwick and researchers in Sweden, found that people classified as obese and those with pre-diabetes have raised levels of a protein called SPARC, that can cause tissue scarring. view more (2009-08-14)
The stem cells that weren't there
Diabetes researchers, investigating how the body supplies itself with insulin, discovered to their surprise that adult stem cells, which they expected to play a crucial role in the process, were nowhere to be found. view more (2007-05-08)
Hap1 protein links circulating insulin to brain circuits that regulate feeding behavior in mice
Researchers have discovered how the protein Hap1, which is abundant in the brain's hypothalamus, serves as the link between circulating insulin in the blood and the neural circuitry that controls feeding behavior in mice. view more (2006-04-10)
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)
New treatment offers greater dietary freedom for people with diabetes

Imaging technique is highly accurate in diagnosing, locating pancreas defects in newborns
The noninvasive imaging technology called positron-emission tomography (PET scan) is extremely accurate in diagnosing a type of congenital hyperinsulinism (HI), a rare but severe imbalance of insulin levels in newborns. view more (2007-01-30)
UT Southwestern study shows how substance in grapes may squeeze out diabetes
A naturally produced molecule called resveratrol, found in the skin of red grapes, has been shown to lower insulin levels in mice when injected directly into the brain, even when the animals ate a high-fat diet. view more (2009-10-15)
