One out of nine type 2s who followed an intensive diet and exercise program for one year were able to record normal or prediabetes-level blood sugar levels, according to a study recently released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
A new study published in the journal PLoS Medicine indicates that as little as 75 minutes of physical activity a week can increase lifespan by up to two years, even in people who are obese.
Nearly 10% of patients with adult-onset diabetes were found to have diabetes-associated autoantibodies in a large European cross-sectional study.
Researchers have discovered three uncommon genetic variants that influence the production of insulin. The finding, published in the journal Nature Genetics
Adults diagnosed with diabetes are at significantly increased risk for fracture-related hospitalization, according to results from an analysis of data from a large, community-based study.
Eating whole grains is associated with a decreased risk of prediabetes, a blood sugar elevation that can precede diabetes in adults, according to new research.
A joint position paper by American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) questions the veracity of a one size fits all specific A1C target for non-pregnant patients with type 2 diabetes.
Scientists have found three new and relatively rare genetic variants that influence insulin production, offering new clues about the genetic factors behind diabetes.
To help stem the obesity epidemic, researchers are looking at how certain hormones act on fat cells. Scientists know that “white” fat cells store fat while “brown” fat cells not only store fat but also turn it into energy.
Researchers from the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System (VAAAHS) and the University of Michigan Health System highlight the importance of taking an individualized approach when it comes helping people with diabetes minimize their risks for heart disease.
Despite more than 25 years of research on antiobesity drugs, few medications have shown long-term success. Now researchers say that targeting taste sensors in the gut may be a promising new strategy.
By all accounts, a combination of colon cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure can be a recipe for medical disaster. Now, a new study led by a surgical oncologist and researcher has shown just how deadly this mix can be.
How do you deal with cravings for unhealthy foods — by indulging now and then, or by trying to banish the cravings altogether? Do you believe your approach is successful?
Dietary fat can significantly increase blood glucose levels and insulin requirements in people with type 1 diabetes, a new study has revealed.
Traditional treatment to reduce risks of heart disease among patients with diabetes has focused on lowering all patients’ blood cholesterol to a specific, standard level. But this practice may prompt the over-use of high-dose medications for patients who don’t need them.
Among overweight adults, participation in an intensive lifestyle intervention (that included counseling sessions and targets to reduce caloric intake and increase physical activity) was associated with a greater likelihood of partial remission of type 2 diabetes.
Over the past few years, weight loss surgery has become an increasingly popular option to treat Type 2 diabetes, but Dr. Vivian Fonseca, professor of medicine at the Tulane University School of Medicine, says it is not a cure-all.
How can the immune system be reprogrammed once it goes on the attack against its own body? EPFL scientists retrained T-cells involved in type I diabetes, a common autoimmune disease.
A new therapeutic approach to diabetes that combines insulin and an inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) betacellulin could limit the progression of diabetic macular edema (DME).
In most areas of diabetes research, you don’t hear much until there’s a big breakthrough of some sort. And then it goes dark again. That’s what happened several years ago on the then-hot topic of xenotransplantation, or the sourcing of islet cells for transplants.
