New genetic biomarkers could predict coronary heart disease
New genetic markers may be able to predict whether a person is likely to have coronary heart disease (CAD) in the future. Research carried out by Dr. M. Balasubramanyam and Dr.V.Mohan at the Madras Diabetes Research Foundation (India) shows that people who are pre-diabetic or who have Type 2 diabetes have much shorter telomeres1 and, since these... view more...

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)
Blood test to predict diabetes in children
The researchers found that four out of five patients with juvenile diabetes have the so-called islet antibodies directed against GAD and IA2 in their blood before the condition manifests itself and that these proteins occur exclusively in cases of juvenile diabetes. The test measures the concentration of the islet antibodies in the child's blood.... view more... (2000-01-18)
Study suggests statins reduce cardiovascular risk for people with type 2 diabetes (p 641, 685)
Results of a randomised trial in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that people with type 2 diabetes could benefit from cholesterol-lowering therapy with statins to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease-even when they do not have high cholesterol concentrations. Many recent studies have shown the benefits of statin therapy to reduce the... view more... (2004-08-18)
