New findings by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers suggest a novel role for the brain in mediating beneficial actions of the hormone leptin in type 1 diabetes.
Phone calls with a peer facing the same self-management challenges helped diabetes patients manage their conditions and improved their blood sugar levels better than those who used traditional nurse care management alone.
Mount Sinai School of Medicine researchers have found that a gene associated with the onset of Type 2 diabetes also is found at lower-than-normal levels in people with Alzheimer’s disease.
University of Michigan scientists have identified events inside pancreatic cells that set the stage for a neonatal form of non-autoimmune Type 1 diabetes, and may play a role in Type 2 diabetes.
A rapid increase in the number of hospitalizations due to diabetes for young adults – particularly young women – echoes the dramatic increase in rates of obesity across the United States in the last 30 years, according to a U-M study published in Journal of Women’s Health.
A clinical trial at UT Southwestern Medical Center aims to determine whether adding the hormone leptin to standard insulin therapy might help rein in the tumultuous blood-sugar levels of people with type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes.
Maike Sander, MD, associate professor of pediatrics and cellular & molecular medicine at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine has been awarded nearly $5 million by the Beta Cell Biology Consortium (BCBC) to lead an interdisciplinary team in cell therapy research for type 1 diabetes.
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing seek solutions for diabetes and its subsequent effects on patients.
Research findings at Sanford-Burnham point to new ways to treat type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
NYU Langone Medical Center endocrinologists can comment on all aspects of diagnosing and treating diabetes.
A research team led by Mount Sinai School of Medicine has identified the mechanism behind a single gene linked to the causes of both Alzheimer’s disease and Type 2 diabetes. The data show that a gene for a protein called SorCS1, which can cause Type 2 diabetes, impacts the accumulation of amyloid-beta (Abeta) in the brain. Abeta plays a key role in the development of Alzheimer’s disease.
International experts in type 2 diabetes will gather in Rome on September 27-28 to discuss how metabolic surgery may open new treatment opportunities for the disorder, which is on the rise worldwide.
An intensive lifestyle intervention appears to help individuals with type 2 diabetes lose weight and keep it off, along with improving fitness, control of blood glucose levels and risk factors for cardiovascular disease, according to a report in the September 27 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.
Physician discusses type 1 diabetes, early recognition and signs.
Taking chromium picolinate may help lessen inflammation associated with diabetic nephropathy (kidney disease), say researchers. In a study comparing diabetic mice treated with chromium picolinate with those that received placebo, the researchers found that mice who received the supplement had lower levels of albuminuria (protein in the urine), an indication of kidney disease.
Researchers from Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University will hold a congressional briefing in Washington, D.C., aimed at focusing attention on the alarming global diabetes epidemic. Incidence of diabetes is increasing worldwide at a rate that eclipses most other diseases. The World Health Organization estimates that by the year 2030, more than 366 million people will be suffering from diabetes, 10 times the number affected by HIV/AIDS. Of that 366 million, more than 298 million will live in developing countries.
South Asians living in the United States are at much higher risk for type 2 diabetes than are whites and immigrants from other Asian countries, a new small study reveals.
Children who have a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes might be identified earlier by way of tell-tale biomarkers being sought in research funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the National Institutes of Health.
Between 1997 and 2007, the proportion of Americans treating their diabetes with oral medications increased from 60 percent to 77 percent; the proportion taking insulin decreased from 38 percent to 24 percent.
A diabetes self-management education program delivered by community health workers may be effective in improving the blood sugar levels and behavioral skills among Hispanics/Latinos with type 2 diabetes, according to a recent University of Illinois at Chicago study.
