21 Nov 2008 at 1:24pm Reuters - In people with type 1 diabetes, adequate control of blood sugar over the long haul helps reduce the risk of diabetes-related eye and kidney disease, new data suggest. 20 Nov 2008 at 1:31pm Reuters - New research shows that among the mental abilities that are affected by type 2 diabetes, the speed at which the brain processes information appears to be the most severely impaired, particularly in patients with undiagnosed disease. 19 Nov 2008 at 10:47pm HealthDay - WEDNESDAY, Nov. 19 (HealthDay News) -- Testing for 18 different gene variations associated with type 2 diabetes was no better at predicting a person's risk for the blood sugar disease than a doctor's assessment, researchers report. 19 Nov 2008 at 4:58pm Reuters - Integrating motivational enhancement therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy may help people with type 1 diabetes better manage their disease, British researchers report. 19 Nov 2008 at 4:57pm Reuters - Gene tests may be no better for predicting diabetes risk than having a doctor ask some old-fashioned questions about weight, smoking status and family history, according to two studies published on Wednesday. 19 Nov 2008 at 10:27am Reuters - Depression may make it harder for people with diabetes to keep their blood sugar levels in check, researchers have found. 18 Nov 2008 at 10:48pm HealthDay - TUESDAY, Nov. 18 (HealthDay News) -- Gleevec, a wonder drug that effectively treats leukemia and other cancers, may also reverse type 1 diabetes, University of California San Francisco, researchers report. 18 Nov 2008 at 3:49pm Reuters - Drugs used to control diabetes may lower the risk of prostate cancer, investigators at the University of Tampere in Finland report. 18 Nov 2008 at 7:09am AP - As diabetes is rapidly becoming one of the world's most common diseases, its financial cost is mounting, too, to well over $200 billion a year in the U.S. alone. 17 Nov 2008 at 4:33pm Reuters - Two popular leukemia drugs, Gleevec and Sutent, kept lab mice from developing type 1 diabetes and put 80 percent of diabetic mice in remission, an international team said on Monday. |
21 Nov 2008 at 6:00am The body's immune system hates strangers. When its security patrol spots a foreign cell, it annihilates it. This is the problem when people with type 1 diabetes undergo human islet cell transplantation. The islet cells from a donor pancreas produce robust amounts of insulin for the recipient -- often permitting independence from insulin therapy. However, the immune system tries to kill the new hard-working islets. 21 Nov 2008 at 4:00am The California School Nurses Organization (CSNO) today issued the following statement regarding the California Superior Court ruling on licensed nurses administering insulin injections to students. "The California School Nurses Organization applauds Judge Lloyd G. 21 Nov 2008 at 2:00am November ushers in American Diabetes Month not only a time to be thankful for bustling basic and clinical research underway on the disease, but also the unofficial start of the holiday season. Between now and New Year's, people with diabetes must navigate a tempting course of sugar-centric festivities, maintaining a delicate nutritional balance against all odds. "It's possible," said Nicholas Jospe, M.D. 21 Nov 2008 at 2:00am One of the most reliable indicators to predict that a person will develop type 2 diabetes is the presence of insulin resistance. Insulin is produced in the pancreas and is the hormone responsible for ensuring that glucose reaches several tissues and organs in the body, such as muscles. Insulin resistance is characterized by the lack of tissue response to insulin and is counteracted by a greater production of insulin by the pancreas. 20 Nov 2008 at 11:00am VeriChip Corporation ("VeriChip") (NASDAQ:CHIP), a provider of RFID systems for healthcare and patient-related needs, and its development partner RECEPTORS LLC, a technology company whose AFFINITY by DESIGN™ chemistry platform can be applied to the development of selective binding products, announced today that a significant milestone has been achieved toward the development of an in vivo glucose-sensing RFID microchip. 20 Nov 2008 at 10:00am HIV-positive people receiving treatment for the virus might be at an increased risk of developing heart disease and type 2 diabetes because some antiretroviral drugs can cause fat on the arms, legs, face and buttocks to move to the stomach, researchers at Australia's Garvan Institute said Monday, the 20 Nov 2008 at 7:00am Microcapsules act as "roach motel" to kill harmful bacteria Researchers in New Mexico and Florida are reporting development of microscopic particles that act as chemical booby traps for bacteria. The traps attract and kill up to 95 percent of nearby bacteria, including microbes responsible for worrisome hospital-based infections. The scientists describe their discovery as micro-sized "roach motels" for harmful bacteria. 20 Nov 2008 at 6:00am A drug based on a chemical found in garlic can treat diabetes types I and II when taken as a tablet, a study in the new Royal Society of Chemistry journal Metallomics says. When Hiromu Sakurai and colleagues from the Suzuka University of Medical Science, Japan, gave the drug orally to type I diabetic mice, they found it reduced blood glucose levels. 20 Nov 2008 at 6:00am GENFIT (Alternext: ALGFT; ISIN: FR0004163111), a biopharmaceutical company at the forefront of research and development of drugs, focusing on early diagnosis and preventive treatment of cardiometabolic and neurodegenerative diseases, today announced the first data of a new Phase I clinical trials of GFT505, a drug candidate for the treatment of atherogenic dyslipidemia associated with pre-diabetes and diabetes (GFT505-1084 studies). 20 Nov 2008 at 5:00am Acute kidney injury (AKI) - which is often caused by trauma, illness, or surgery - predisposes elderly individuals to the most serious form of chronic kidney disease (CKD), known as end stage renal disease (ESRD), according to a study appearing in the January 2009 issue of the Journal of the American Society Nephrology (JASN). The findings indicate that close medical follow-up is important for maintaining the health of patients who have experienced kidney damage. 20 Nov 2008 at 3:00am An increasing number of type 2 diabetes patients in the U.S. are being treated by a progressively complex mix of therapies, according to a study featured in Archives of Internal Medicine, a JAMA/Archives journal. The report is the first to be published by members of the Health Services Research Network (HSRN), a consortium of leading U.S. academicians that conducts independent research using IMS Health's evidence-based information to address key healthcare issues. 20 Nov 2008 at 3:00am Metabolon, Inc., the leader in metabolomics-driven biomarker discovery and development, and the Joslin Diabetes Center, the world's preeminent diabetes research and clinical care organization, today announced a collaboration to carry out human clinical and animal studies in the area of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. This collaboration agreement includes a series of studies to be conducted using Metabolon's biochemical profiling technology. 20 Nov 2008 at 3:00am To address the growing epidemic of type 2 diabetes affecting American Indian youth, researchers from UNLV were part of a national collaboration with three federal agencies and eight tribal colleges to develop "Health is Life in Balance" - an innovative K-12 diabetes curriculum for tribal schools and schools with large American Indian/Alaska Native populations. The curriculum blends the science of diabetes with Native cultural teachings. 20 Nov 2008 at 2:00am Genetic testing for type 2 diabetes is still in its infancy, said researchers who did a US study that compared risk assessment based on screening for gene variants with more traditional risk factors like weight, blood pressure and blood sugar. 19 Nov 2008 at 12:00pm Diabetes in 2007 cost the U.S. $218 billion in direct medical care and indirect costs, such as lost productivity, according to a report released on Tuesday, the AP/Raleigh News & Observer reports. For the report -- funded by Novo Nordisk, which manufactures insulin and diabetes medications -- researchers at the |

21 Nov 2008 at 12:36pm Diabetes Health Publisher Nadia Al-Samarrie travels to San Francisco City Hall to observe World Diabetes Day, 2009. Monuments and buildings are lit in blue every year on November 14th to call attention to the growing diabetes epidemic. Nadia interviews Diatribe’s Kelly Close who calls for all of us to strive together in taking better care of ourselves and each other. 19 Nov 2008 at 11:38am The Medi-Peds® line of foot care products is manufactured by the Americal Corporation, a leading manufacturer of socks and women's hosiery since 1968. Made in the U.S.A. with modern high speed manufacturing equipment, the Medi-Peds® line of products is designed with features specificaly for diabetes patients, but without unnecessary added costs. This commitment to high quality at an affordable price makes these new products a real find. 17 Nov 2008 at 5:07pm No one knows better than people with diabetes how expensive prescription drugs are. A recent DH article reported that the annual cost for drugs to treat type 2 diabetes nearly doubled between 2001 and 2007, skyrocketing from $6.7 billion to $12.5 billion six years later. 17 Nov 2008 at 5:06pm Becoming pregnant for the first time can be overwhelming for any woman, especially if that woman has diabetes. When my husband and I decided we were ready to have children, the first thing I did was make an appointment with my endocrinologist. Diagnosed when I was fourteen, I've had type 1 diabetes for twenty-four years. My doctor explained that I would need to be in tight control for three months before I could even think about babies, so I got right to work. Learning everything I could about diabetes and pregnancy, I was pleased to discover that with education, support, and practice, a woman with diabetes has every opportunity for a healthy pregnancy. 17 Nov 2008 at 5:05pm Nick Jonas and Bayer Diabetes Care have produced dog tags that feature a lyric from "A Little Bit Longer," the song Nick wrote about his diabetes. Two versions of the dog tags are available: one for people who would like to support the cause and another specifically for people with diabetes. The dog tag for people with diabetes has the lyric on the front, but also has the word "diabetes" on the back to document their personal fight against the disease. 17 Nov 2008 at 5:04pm Dear Laura,I just finished viewing your clip online. You seem like a very intelligent and involved mom who decided it was time to take charge. I applaud you, and I agree with many points you make, but I disagree with your position on food. 17 Nov 2008 at 5:03pm With more than 2,500 facilities serving 10,000 communities that run the gamut from big-city downtowns to small rural sites, the YMCA (Young Men's Christian Association) could turn out to be a powerful tool in the fight to prevent diabetes. 17 Nov 2008 at 5:02pm As a child, I had an obsessive, irrational fear of going blind. At night, I lay in bed and kept opening my eyes every few minutes as I fell asleep to make sure I could still see, searching for outside lights filtering through the curtains of my bedroom window. 17 Nov 2008 at 5:01pm A compound in brown rice called acylated steryl glucoside (ASG) can significantly reduce the chances of the nerve and vascular damage that often results from type 1 diabetes. 17 Nov 2008 at 5:00pm It turns out that donating your time to science isn't the ego booster we thought it was. There aren't a lot of thanks out there. A recent national survey of 900 adults found that while 84 percent of the public greatly admire organ donors and 68 percent greatly admire blood donors, a paltry 33 percent greatly admire people who participate in clinical trials. 21 Nov 2008 at 7:00pm Centenarian offspring (children of parents who lived to be at least 97 years old) retain important cardiovascular advantages from their parents compared to a similarly-aged cohort. 21 Nov 2008 at 7:00am Researchers have developed an unlimited number of pure insulin-producing cells from mouse embryonic stem cells. The cells, which have the same sub-cellular structures as the insulin-producing cells naturally found in the pancreas, were highly effective in treating diabetes in the mouse model. 20 Nov 2008 at 4:00pm Scientists in Tennessee are reporting that a gene therapy technique called gene silencing shows promise for improving the effectiveness and expanded use of transplants of insulin-producing cells to treat diabetes. 19 Nov 2008 at 11:00pm Islet cell transplantation is a promising therapy for people with type 1 diabetes, but it requires a regime of powerful immunosuppressive drugs so the immune system won't reject the insulin-producing islets. The drugs raise the risk of infections and cancer and are toxic to the islets themselves. Researchers have developed a new technique that eliminated the need for these drugs. The strategy is a potential therapy for human islet cell transplantation. 19 Nov 2008 at 4:00pm A drug based on a chemical found in garlic can treat diabetes types I and II when taken as a tablet, a new study shows. 19 Nov 2008 at 4:00am Low-dose aspirin as primary prevention did not appear to significantly reduce the risk of a combined end point of coronary, cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular events in patients with type-2 diabetes, according to a new study. However, aspirin did significantly reduce the combination of fatal coronary and fatal cerebrovascular events. 18 Nov 2008 at 11:00pm Screening for a panel of gene variants associated with the risk for type 2 diabetes can identify adults at risk for the disorder but is not significantly better than assessment based on traditional risk factors such as weight, blood pressure and blood sugar levels. 18 Nov 2008 at 11:00pm One of the most reliable indicators to predict that a person will develop type 2 diabetes is the presence of insulin resistance. Insulin is produced in the pancreas and is the hormone responsible for ensuring that glucose reaches several tissues and organs in the body, such as muscles. 18 Nov 2008 at 7:00pm Clinicians have known for some time that people treated for HIV also become much more susceptible to diabetes and heart disease. A study by scientists in Australia has now shown some of the reasons why -- enabling better patient management and monitoring. 18 Nov 2008 at 4:00pm Two common cancer drugs have been shown to both prevent and reverse type 1 diabetes in a mouse model of the disease, according to new research. The drugs -- imatinib (marketed as Gleevec) and sunitinib (marketed as Sutent) -- were found to put type 1 diabetes into remission in 80 percent of the test mice and work permanently in 80 percent of those that go into remission. 17 Nov 2008 at 10:00pm Advanced age and race are among the factors that can affect whether a patient dies or suffers a stroke after carotid-artery surgery, a multicenter study has found. 16 Nov 2008 at 1:00pm Blood levels of resistin, a hormone produced by fat cells, can independently predict an individual's risk of heart failure, according to research results from the Health ABC (Aging and Body Composition) study, which followed 3000 elderly people in the Pittsburgh and Memphis areas over seven years starting in 1998. 14 Nov 2008 at 1:00am Diabetes appears to be linked with an increased risk of pelvic girdle syndrome. A new study shows that five percent of women had serious pelvic girdle syndrome during their last pregnancy. Three percent reported that they had diabetes, while diabetes was seen in only 0.5 percent of women who had not had the syndrome. Women with diabetes had a seven times higher risk of severe pelvic girdle syndrome. 12 Nov 2008 at 10:00am Retired NFL players have fewer heart disease risk factors overall, but higher cholesterol and glucose levels. Physical activity may have prevented the development of higher rates of diabetes or greater amounts of atherosclerosis. Since today's players are 50 percent larger than 25 years ago, further study is needed on whether current players are at greater risk for cardiovascular events or death, researchers said. 11 Nov 2008 at 11:00pm Schools across the country now have free access to an innovative set of teaching tools designed to increase the understanding of science, health, and diabetes among American-Indian and Alaska-Native students from kindergarten through the 12th grade. The comprehensive new curriculum, called "Health is Life in Balance," is being launched at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. |
