A study in Molecular Nutrition and Food Research suggests eating vegetables and polyunsaturated fatty acids rich plant oil can help reduce DNA strand breaks.
Results of a large new U.S. study confirm that sugary drinks are linked to a heightened risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, but shed little light on whether caffeine helps or hinders the process.
Patients with type 1 diabetes displayed a greater risk for developing chronic liver disease, including a fourfold prevalence for cirrhosis, compared with the general population, according to study data presented at The Liver Meeting.
Clinical depression affects approximately 21 to 27 percent of people with type 1 diabetes and 11 percent of type 2 diabetics, according to an article in Diabetes Spectrum.

Researchers at McMaster University have discovered new genetic evidence about why some people are happier than others.
A Chinese study of 345 patients divided between non-diabetics and people with type 2 diabetes concludes that gut bacteria between the two groups differs substantially-so much so that the bacteria can be used to accurately determine who has or doesn’t have the disease.
An FDA-approved drug initially used to treat insulin resistance in diabetics has shown promise as a way to improve cognitive performance in some people with Alzheimer’s disease.
In September, Living Cell Technologies (LCT) revealed positive results from its JDRF-funded Phase II study of DIABECELL—a unique proprietary encapsulation technology comprised of encapsulated pancreatic islets from pigs.
