New approaches to applying noninvasive imaging tests such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR), and positron emission tomography (PET) may play a bigger role in evaluating and managing patients with diabetes.
Researchers have made a significant first step with newly engineered biomaterials for cell transplantation that could help lead to a possible cure for Type 1 diabetes, which affects about 3 million Americans.
Unfortunately, an astounding 80 percent of pregnant women are vitamin D deficient, and you definitely do not want to be one of them
Lead investigator Jane C. Khoury, PhD, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, Ohio, stated that, “Our results suggest that diabetics aged under 65 have up to a 12-fold increased risk of stroke compared to people of a similar age who do not have diabetes.”

New research published in the May 7th issue of the Cell Press journal Cell Metabolism reveals that high blood sugar levels also boost the production of inflammatory cells, which contribute to plaque build-up in blood vessels.
The findings, made in mice and confirmed with human data, suggest new therapeutic targets for reducing heart disease in people with type 1 diabetes.
Some of the earliest results from The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in The Young (TEDDY) study – a major Europe-USA consortium exploring the causes of type 1 diabetes in children – has found no evidence for viral infection as a possible cause.
A new University of Arizona study, published in the journal Neurology, suggests a possible link between elevated blood sugar levels and risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease.
After more than three decades of research, a consortium of schools that includes the U has completed testing on the transplant technique.
An infectious disease carried by animals may trigger the development of type 1 diabetes, according to scientists in the UK.
A screening program for diabetic retinopathy diminished the likelihood of eye disease in patients with diabetes.
People with type 1 diabetes who exercise may need to reduce their insulin to counteract the effects of their workouts, according to a new study.
In a promising development for diabetes treatment, researchers have developed a network of nanoscale particles that can be injected into the body and release insulin when blood-sugar levels rise, maintaining normal blood sugar levels for more than a week
Long-term studies of the middle-aged mouse model will be better than previous studies at confirming how drugs for type 2 diabetes function in humans.
According to a survey by the American Optometric Association, 55 percent of people are unaware that diabetic eye disease often has no visual signs or symptoms.
The news was less disappointing for aerobic exercise, with 51.6 percent of adults getting the recommended amount, than it was for muscle-strengthening activities, with only 29.3 percent getting the recommended amount
Key hormones, amino acids altered during digestion, study finds
At last week’s Capital Hill summit on Insulin Independence, researchers from around the world shared a vision of using a combination of therapies built on these same principles to bring perfect blood sugars to those living with type 1 diabetes.
Gastric bypass surgery alters the hormones and amino acids produced during digestion, hinting at the mechanisms through which the surgery eliminates symptoms of type 2 diabetes, according to a recent study
