Expert Reviews Cannot Be Trusted
The results of the most important research in diabetes in the past 25 years have not been conveyed accurately to doctors, claim researchers in this week's BMJ. These findings have far reaching implications for how the current medical information system transmits new research results from academia to practitioners. Thirty five reviews on treatment... view more... (2003-07-30)

Obstructive sleep apnea, retinopathy linked in diabetes
The eyes may be the window into the soul, but they may also contain important medical information.   view more (2009-05-20)

Breakthrough in understanding type-2 diabetes as key genes identified
The most important genes associated with a risk of developing type-2 diabetes have been identified, scientists report today in a new study.   view more (2007-02-15)

Cancer and arthritis therapy may be promising treatment for diabetes
An antibody used to treat certain cancers and rheumatoid arthritis appears to greatly delay type 1 diabetes in mice, Yale School of Medicine researchers report in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.   view more (2007-12-19)

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)

Claiming diagnostic tests for diabetes genes is misleading, say experts
Claims that the discovery of a gene could help prevent diabetes may raise unrealistic expectations, warn doctors in this week's BMJ.   view more (2006-09-08)

Coffee Addicts At Reduced Risk Of Type 2 Diabetes? (p 1477)
High coffee consumption could be associated with a rduced risk of type 2 diabetes, suggest Dutch authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Caffeine is known to reduce sensitivity to insulin (responsible for the metabolism of glucose), although other components of coffee such as magnesium and chlorogenic acid could offer some... view more...

ARE THERE COMMON FACTORS AFFECTING TYPE-1 DIABETES AND ASTHMA? (p 607)
The occurrence of asthma and type-1 diabetes may be positively associated with each other at a population level, conclude authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Asthma and type-1 diabetes are immune-mediated atopic diseases with wide variations in occurrence worldwide, and there are indications of increasing trends in... view more... (2001-02-21)

Looking at autoimmune diabetes, literally
A major problem for understanding and treating type1 diabetes is that we are unable to directly, but non-invasively, visualize the inflammatory lesions in the pancreas that cause the disease.   view more (2005-08-19)

Found: A gene that may play a role in type 1 diabetes
Scientists at Stanford University have identified a gene that may play a role in the development of type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the body's insulin-producing cells.   view more (2009-08-11)

Infections link with diabetes, suggests biggest study yet
A major study has added weight to the theory that environmental factors such as common infections may be a trigger for diabetes in children and young adults.   view more (2006-07-05)

Obesity may be factor in accelerated type I diabetes in some patients
Obesity, long known as a cause of type II diabetes, may accelerate the onset of type 1 diabetes in some - but not all - groups of younger patients, according to research at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and six clinical sites nationally.   view more (2006-02-06)

Study links soft drinks and fruit drinks with risk for diabetes in African-American women
Researchers from Boston University's Slone Epidemiology Center have found that regular consumption of sugar-sweetened soft drinks and fruit drinks is associated with an increased risk for type 2 diabetes in African-American women. These findings appear in the July 28 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine.    view more (2008-07-29)

Early Promise Of New Treatment For Type 2 Diabetes (p 824)
Authors of a pilot study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that a naturally occurring intestinal hormone could be beneficial for the future treatment of type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes affects an estimated 10% of adults over 60 years of age, and has recently been reported in teenage children. Treatment for the disorder usually includes... view more... (2002-03-06)

Potential association of type 2 diabetes genes with prostate cancer
Scientists have identified six new genes which play a role in the development of type 2 diabetes, and among the group is the second gene known to also play a role in prostate cancer.   view more (2008-03-31)

CHEO RI study uses sophisticated genetic engineering to improve insulin-producing beta cells
One of the biggest mysteries about diabetes is why specialized cells in the pancreas stop secreting insulin, which the body needs in order to store glucose from food.   view more (2009-10-08)

UK study suggests statins may reduce diabetes risk
For the first time a statin drug has been shown to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, according to a UK study published in the latest issue of Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. A research team led by Allan Gaw, director of the Clinical Trials Unit at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, analysed data from the West of Scotland Coronary... view more... (2001-01-22)

Deficient regulators in the immune system responsible for type 1 diabetes
The main regulators of the immune system, called CD4+Treg cells, are thought to be highly involved in a large range of immune diseases.   view more (2008-01-25)

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)

Scientists discover new genetic variation that contributes to diabetes
Scientists have identified a genetic variation in people with type 2 diabetes that affects how the body's muscle cells respond to the hormone insulin, in a new study published today in Nature Genetics. The researchers, from Imperial College London and other international institutions, say the findings highlight a new target for scientists... view more... (2009-09-08)
