Joslin-led study reveals new findings on insulin signaling in the liver
Insulin uses two distinct mechanisms to control glucose and the metabolism of blood fats (lipids) in the liver, a new Joslin Diabetes Center-led study has discovered.   view more (2006-05-15)

Gene discovery opens door to tackling disease
Western Australian researchers have discovered a new gene that could lead to breakthroughs in breast and prostate cancer, as well as diabetes.   view more (2006-06-09)

Diabetes, not obesity, increases risk of developing critical illness and early death
Diabetes puts people at risk of developing critical illness and dying early, but obesity without diabetes does not. A study published today in the open access journal Critical Care reveals that individuals suffering from diabetes are three times more at risk of developing critical illness and dying young than individuals who do not have diabetes.   view more (2006-09-25)

Study using new imaging technology detects subtle brain changes in patients with Type 1 diabetes
Although people with diabetes are twice as likely as the general population to develop depression, the cause of this increased risk is not well understood.   view more (2006-02-01)

Porcine islets offer promise for human diabetic patients
Islet cell xenotransplantation presents a promising near-term solution to the critically low islet cell supply for humans suffering from type 1 diabetes.   view more (2006-02-28)

Worldwide study looks to find causes of type 1 diabetes
Scientists are casting a wide, tightly woven net with the goal of catching the causes of type 1diabetes.   view more (2006-02-15)

Study by Einstein researchers could lead to a novel strategy for treating obesity
In their latest finding on the brain's role in controlling appetite and weight, researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine have shown that reducing levels of fatty acids in the hypothalamus causes rats to overeat and become obese.   view more (2006-01-16)

Diabetic nerve therapy shows 'striking' results
Research into a new treatment for nerve damage caused by diabetes could bring relief to millions of diabetic patients, say experts.   view more (2005-07-27)

Type 2 diabetes increases the risk of glaucoma in women
A 20-year study of women in the Nurses' Health Study has shown that Type 2 diabetes is associated with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), the most common form of glaucoma, accounting for about 60 to 70% of all glaucomas.   view more (2006-07-12)

University of Florida study shows leptin could combat type 2 diabetes
University of Florida researchers have discovered the appetite-controlling hormone leptin could also combat type 2 diabetes, a disease that has become a growing problem in the United States as more Americans pack on extra pounds.   view more (2006-09-21)

Soy protein reduces effects of diabetes on liver
A group of researchers from Mexico has discovered that a diet rich in soy protein may alleviate fatty liver, a disease which often accompanies diabetes.   view more (2005-09-07)

Gardenia fruit compound starting point for diabetes therapy
A Gardenia fruit extract traditionally used in Chinese medicine to treat the symptoms of type 2 diabetes does indeed contain a chemical that reverses some of the pancreatic dysfunctions that underlie the disease.   view more (2006-06-07)

Can we prevent type 1 diabetes by modifying infant nutrition?
Within the next 10 years the EU-funded Diabetes Prevention study, part of an international study called TRIGR (Trial to Reduce IDDM in the Genetically at Risk), coordinated at the University of Helsinki, Finland, will generate a definite answer to the question whether early nutritional modification may prevent type 1 diabetes later in childhood.   view more (2006-11-22)

Protein that regulates aging may provide key to new diabetes therapies
Opening the possibility of new therapies for type 2 diabetes, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that a protein called Sirt1 enhances the secretion of insulin in mice and allows them to better control blood glucose levels.   view more (2005-08-19)

New research could help women facing high risk of stillbirth
The risk of stillbirth is particularly high for women with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes who suffer four times as many stillbirths as non-diabetic women.   view more (2006-09-06)

Edinburgh researchers to probe memory loss in people with diabetics
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh are aiming to pinpoint why diabetes can cause memory loss and mental decline. A thousand people will take part in the study, the largest of its kind ever undertaken in the UK.   view more (2006-06-27)

Diabetes can lead to gum disease in childhood; onset is younger than previously recognized
While the link between diabetes and periodontal disease was previously established, it was believed that the regression of gums began much later and increased with age.   view more (2006-02-09)

Mutation in tumor suppressor gene causes pancreatic islet cells to reproduce
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have found that the acute loss of a protein called menin can cause the proliferation of pancreatic islet cells, which secrete insulin to regulate blood sugar.   view more (2006-07-06)

Immune responses spread from one protein to another in type 1 diabetes
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is caused by the immune system inappropriately attacking the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, the hormone that controls blood sugar levels.   view more (2006-12-04)

Even 'high normal' glucose levels may increase the risk of hospitalization for heart failure
Fasting glucose levels may independently predict the risk of being hospitalized with congestive heart failure in heart attack survivors and others who are at high risk of developing the disorder, researchers reported in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association.   view more (2007-03-07)
