Current standards for classifying foods as “whole grain” are inconsistent and, in some instances, misleading, according to a new study released by the Harvard School of Public Health.
Using insulin may increase risk of overall mortality and cancer death in patients with TII.
Eating diets high in sugar and fat may not affect the health outcomes of older adults ages 75 and up, suggesting that placing people of such advanced age on overly restrictive diets to treat their excess weight or other conditions may have little benefit.
Men tend to store fat in the abdominal area, but don’t usually have much in the way of hips or thighs. Women, on the other hand, are more often pear-shaped — storing more fat on their hips and thighs than in the belly
Today a team that includes researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine announced a discovery that could lead to dramatic improvements in the lives of people managing diabetes.
Now a University of Chicago study shows that transplanting pancreatic islets to type 1s significantly reduces carotid artery thickness, lowering both A1c levels and the attendant risk of atherosclerosis.
People who are “apple-shaped” — with fat more concentrated around the abdomen — have long been considered more at risk for conditions such as heart disease and diabetes than those who are “pear-shaped”
Type 1 and type 2 diabetes results when beta cells in the pancreas fail to produce enough insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar. One approach to treating diabetes is to stimulate regeneration of new beta cells.
A landmark discovery about how insulin docks on cells could help in the development of improved types of insulin for treating both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
A study which suggests being overweight can lead to a longer life has caused controversy among obesity experts.
Metformin therapy significantly reduces cardiovascular events in high-risk patients with type 2 diabetes compared to treatment with glipizide, according to a study published online Dec. 10 in Diabetes Care.
Study findings confirm suspicions that patients with diabetes have an increased risk for adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder (ACS).
Researchers find association between ‘H. pylori’ infection, type 2 disease.
Research in mice found that metformin suppresses the liver hormone glucagon’s ability to generate an important signaling molecule, pointing to new drug targets. The findings were published online this week in Nature.
Severe obesity is associated with an increased risk for death from all causes, but lesser amounts of excess weight either do not increase the risk or may be protective.
A new study led by North Carolina researchers has found that when it comes to weight- and fat loss, aerobic training is better than resistance training.
A group of biomedical researchers at UC Santa Barbara is studying the metabolism of cells and their surrounding tissue, to ferret out ways in which certain diseases begin.
Boosting daily consumption of unsaturated fat and reducing the proportion of carbohydrates resulted in improved insulin sensitivity.
Glucose appears to tamper brain activity in regions that regulate appetite and reward — but fructose does not, a new study found.
Following a three-year study using more than 2,800 mice, a University of Missouri researcher was not able to replicate a series of previous studies by another research group investigating the controversial chemical BPA.
