White Rice Raises Risk Of Diabetes Type 2
According to a study published today on bmj.com, consuming to much white rice regularly considerably increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes...
Potential Link Between H. pylori Bacteria And Adult Type 2 Diabetes
A recent study shows that the presence of H. pylori bacteria is associated with elevated levels of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), an important biomarker for blood glucose levels and diabetes. This association was stronger in obese individuals with a higher Body Mass Index (BMI)...
Gut Cells Transformed Into Insulin Factories - A New Approach To Treating Type I Diabetes?
A study by Columbia researchers suggests that cells in the patient's intestine could be coaxed into making insulin, circumventing the need for a stem cell transplant. Until now, stem cell transplants have been seen by many researchers as the ideal way to replace cells lost in type I diabetes and to free patients from insulin injections...
Gut Cells Turned To Insulin Factories - New Type l Diabetes Treatment
According to a study conducted in mice by researchers at Columbia University Medical Center and published 11 March 2012, in the journal Nature Genetics, cells in the intestine of patients with type 1 diabetes could be lured into generating insulin, eliminating the need for a stem cell transplant...

How Added Sugar In Diet Leads To Obesity, Diabetes - New Clues About Fructose
A new animal study published on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, offers new clues about the mechanism through which a diet high in fructose, such as from added sugar and high fructose corn syrup, may contribute to the development of obesity and diabetes...
TAK-875 - New Treatment For Type 2 Diabetes
The Lancet published results of a phase 2, randomized trial of TAK-875, a new treatment for type 2 diabetes online, which demonstrates that it is comparative to glimepiride in its ability to improve blood sugar control, but the risk of hypoglycemia, i.e. creating dangerous drops in blood sugar levels is substantially lower. Of the 150 million diabetics currently living in the U.S...
Public Health Data Reveals Obesity, Hypertension, And Diabetes Prevalence In Cleveland Neighborhoods
The Prevention Research Center for Healthy Neighborhoods of Case Western Reserve University has released new health data from Cleveland neighborhood groups on three of the most pressing public health concerns: obesity, hypertension, and diabetes...
Revolutionary Oxygen-Generating Biomaterial To Enhance Islet Survival Developed By Diabetes Research Institute
Scientists at the Diabetes Research Institute have developed a revolutionary technique to provide critical oxygen for maintaining the survival of insulin-producing cells. This is the first time that scientists have been able to successfully deliver oxygen locally to beta cells using a biomaterial...
Why The Immune System Specifically Attacks Beta Cells In Type 1 Diabetes
A new JDRF-funded study shows that many of the genes known to play a role in type 1 diabetes (T1D) are expressed in pancreatic beta cells, suggesting that the cell responsible for producing insulin may be playing a part in its own destruction to lead to T1D...
TAK-875 For Treatment Of Type 2 Diabetes
A study published Online First in The Lancet , states that TAK-875, a new medicine used for treating type 2 diabetes, is a safe way to improve the control of blood sugar and is said to have minimal risk of low blood sugar. However, there are some side effects...
New Diabetes Drug Improves Glucose Control Without Increasing Risk Of Hypoglycemia
TAK-875, a new treatment for type 2 diabetes, improves blood sugar control and is equally effective as glimepiride, but has a significantly lower risk of creating a dangerous drop in blood sugar, called hypoglycemia, according to a new study. The results of the phase 2 randomized trial were published Online First in The Lancet...
Enabling Women To Spend Less Time Sitting Could Reduce Diabetes Risk
A new study has found that women who stay seated for long periods of time every day are more prone to developing type 2 diabetes, but that a similar link wasn't found in men...

Tackling Diabetes Care Challenges - Expert Groups Collaborate
The Endocrine Society, the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) and Opus Science, announce the launch of their new program in an effort to assess and improve care for those suffering from diabetes. The program called "Improving Quality in Type 2 Diabetes: A National Initiative to Assess Guideline Adherence and Physician/Pharmacist Coordination," is part of a new U.S...

Revising The 'Textbook' On Liver Metabolism Offers New Targets For Diabetes Drugs
A team led by researchers from the Institute for Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism (IDOM) at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, has overturned a "textbook" view of what the body does after a meal. The study appears online this week in Nature Medicine, in advance of print publication...
