Study: No effects of type II diabetes on aggressiveness of prostate cancer; long-term survival worse
Researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center found no effects of type II diabetes on aggressiveness of prostate cancer but found that long-term survival is worse. view more (2005-10-17)
Adult stem cells from human cord umbilical cord blood successfully engineered to make insulin
In a fundamental discovery that someday may help cure type 1 diabetes by allowing people to grow their own insulin-producing cells for a damaged or defective pancreas, medical researchers here have reported that they have engineered adult stem cells derived from human umbilical cord blood to produce insulin. view more (2007-05-29)
Weight loss improves bladder control in women with prediabetes
Losing a modest amount of weight through dietary changes and increased physical activity reduces the occurrence of urinary incontinence (UI) in women with prediabetes, a condition in which blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not yet diabetic. view more (2006-01-27)
Traditional Chinese medicine for diabetes has scientific backing
Reports of a traditional Chinese medicine having beneficial effects for people suffering from type 2 diabetes now has some scientific evidence to back up the claims. view more (2006-08-01)
Dynamic duo: Combination therapy reverses type 1 diabetes
Researchers have now carefully crafted a combination therapy that reverses recent-onset type 1 diabetes in 2 animal models of disease. view more (2006-04-21)
Type 2 diabetics' acidity heightens risk for kidney stones
People with type 2 diabetes have highly acidic urine, a metabolic feature that explains their greater risk for developing uric-acid kidney stones. view more (2006-04-06)
Reduced insulin in the brain triggers Alzheimer's degeneration
By depleting insulin and its related proteins in the brain, researchers at Rhode Island Hospital and Brown Medical School have replicated the progression of Alzheimer's disease - including plaque deposits, neurofibrillary tangles, impaired cognitive functioning, cell loss and overall brain deterioration - in an experimental animal model. view more (2006-03-23)
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)
Gene variant increases risk of type 2 diabetes
Researchers have confirmed that a gene variant confers susceptibility to type 2 diabetes in participants of the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), a large clinical trial in adults at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes. view more (2006-07-20)
Effect of diabetes on heart may differ by ethnicity, study finds
Diabetes strongly increases the risk of heart failure in all ethnic groups, but early effects of diabetes on the heart may differ depending on whether the subjects are white, African-American, Hispanic or Chinese. view more (2006-03-09)

UCLA researchers have unraveled a mysterious condition that causes congenital diarrhea and intestinal failure in children. view more (2006-07-20)
Malfunctioning bone marrow cells sabotage nerve cells in diabetes
Malfunctioning bone marrow cells that produce insulin appear to cause a dangerous nerve condition called neuropathy that disables many people with diabetes, said a research team led by Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. view more (2005-08-23)
Diabetics see dramatic increase in lower limb amputations
Many people suffering foot and leg pain falsely attribute their aches to temporary discomfort or simply "growing old," when something far more serious - and often preventable - is frequently taking place. view more (2006-09-14)
Research helps identify precursors to foot disease in diabetes patients
Foot ulcerations are one of the most serious complications of diabetes, resulting in more than 80,000 lower-leg amputations each year in the U.S. alone. view more (2005-11-14)
Researchers map of genetic variations implicated in disease
Sequence differences in less than 0.2% of the 3-billion-base human genome play a vital role in a bewildering variety of human disease. view more (2006-01-27)
First for stem cell researcher
In an Australian-first, a UNSW researcher based at the Diabetes Transplant Unit at the Prince of Wales Hospital has produced a human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line without the use of any animal products. view more (2006-01-23)
The diabetes epidemic - obesity a major factor
More and more Americans are being diagnosed with diabetes. Is this rise in cases due to better testing, a change in diagnostic criteria, a true rise in incidence, or some combination of these and other factors? view more (2006-04-20)
Losing weight and reducing risk of diabetes: Diet and exercise work equally well
It's a toss up, according to a new study by a Saint Louis University researcher who is a member of a Washington University team of scientists examining whether a calorie-restrictive diet can extend people's lifespan. view more (2006-11-08)
Jefferson Scientists Discover Mechanism Tying Obesity to Alzheimer's Disease
If heart disease and diabetes aren't bad enough, now comes another reason to watch your weight. According to a study just released, packing on too many pounds can increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. view more (2005-12-30)
US kidney failure rates stabilize, ending a 20-year climb
After 20 years of annual increases from 5 to 10 percent, rates for new cases of kidney failure have stabilized, according to new research from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) of the National Institutes of Health view more (2005-10-11)
