Diabetes is a disease that currently no cure available. New research provides a better understanding of the disease that may someday help in discovering a cure. But for now, researchers are still uncovering the puzzles and trying to better understand the disease that now affects millions of people worldwide. Some new research suggests that diabetes may be an inflammatory disease. Researchers from Denmark uncovered

A recent study indicated that areas where there is an increase in air pollution also raises the risk of insulin resistance in kids. This condition is considered as a precursor to the development of diabetes. The findings of the research are published in Diabetologia, the journal for the European Association for the Study of Diabetes or EASD. The said research aimed to explore the association between air pollution a

Researchers from the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston have found an association between the increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes and decreased melatonin secretion. The study results indicated that the participants that secreted the least melatonin in their bloodstream during sleep experienced twice the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.  The findings have been published in a JAMA study this mo

Researchers from UC Davis found a strong correlation between people suffering from severe psoriasis and diabetes risk. An analysis of results coming from 27 different studies and involving around 314,000 individuals indicates a link between the skin condition with the blood sugar disorder. The findings are published in the Archives of Dermatology. Psoriasis is a common skin problem characterized by raised red, flak

A recent study has indicated that an experimental insulin drug has shown to be more effective in preventing low blood sugar among diabetics as compared to a popular drug now available in the market. The results of the study were presented at The Endocrine Society’s 94th Annual Meeting in Houston. Diabetes is a lifestyle disease that has affected about 26 million people in the US. It is a condition that can ca

Diabetes affects millions of people worldwide, both male and female alike. But it seems that the disease seems to affect both genders in different ways. A new study about the disease may provide some bit of proof on this. A new study has just showed that women who are prone to sitting for long period of time on a regular basis are at more risk of developing type 2 diabetes. But a similar link has not been seen in m

Diabetes is a disease that still has no known cure. There are many surprising things that researchers have been learning about this condition. One of the recent findings indicate that diabetes may in fact start in the intestines. Researchers from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis may have found a surprising origin for diabetes. Their studies suggest that the body’s problem handling and con

It has been known in prior studies that coffee and tea may have an effect on diabetes risk. But new research suggests that even drinking decaffeinated coffee may also reduce risk of developing diabetes. The study indicated that decaffeinated coffee may be helping improve energy metabolism in the brain that is associated with type 2 diabetes. Findings of the research can be found on the online publication of Nutriti

Diabetes and excess weight are probably the two common issues that more and more people have to deal with nowadays. Both are even closely linked to each other, as some studies suggest. It may also be this link that may someday help people treat one in order to also treat the other. And as what a recent study may suggest, a certain class of diabetes drugs can also be used to aid people with weight loss. Researchers

Researchers have found a natural occurring compound that may help reverse diabetes. This discovery may someday suggest a way for people to take the said compound as a means to possibly treat or prevent type 2 diabetes. The research findings are published in the Oct issue of Cell Metabolism. Researchers from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have been able to successfully restore the normal b
