Continuous blood glucose monitors may not accurately detect low blood sugar, researchers found.

EASD: Frequent Hypoglycemia Key in Cardiac Risk

Posted: Sunday, October 03, 2010

Patients with Type 1 diabetes who have repeated episodes of hypoglycemia appear to be at risk for early signs of atherosclerosis, researchers said.

Gel Technology Utilized in New Artificial Pancreas

Posted: Wednesday, September 29, 2010

Nanoparticle Vaccine Cures Type 1 in Mice

Posted: Sunday, August 29, 2010

Using a sophisticated nanotechnology-based "vaccine," researchers were able to successfully cure mice with Type 1 diabetes and slow the onset of the disease in mice at risk for the disease.

Evolution the Cause for Greater Risk for Type 1 Diabetes?

Posted: Sunday, August 29, 2010

Gene variants associated with an increased risk for Type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis may confer previously unknown benefits to their human carriers. As a result, the human race may have been evolving in the recent past to be more susceptible, rather than less, to some complex diseases.

Diabetes Damage Similar to Lung Impairment Found in Smokers

Posted: Tuesday, August 17, 2010

Lung impairment similar to that found in smokers has been found in a study that included 3,182 patients with diabetes and 27,080 control subjects. Researchers found that diabetes can damage the lungs in ways that are similar to smokers.

AADE: Diabetes Training Programs Trims Healthcare Costs

Potential for Diabetes Patients to Create Their Own Insulin

Posted: Sunday, June 27, 2010

Researchers have used a unique collection of pancreas specimens taken from patients who died soon after diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes to show that they respond to the ongoing process of destruction by inducing their islet cells to proliferate.

Insulin Peptide Points to a Solution for Type 1 Diabetes

Posted: Sunday, June 27, 2010

Researchers at National Jewish Health and the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have identified the precise protein fragment, or peptide, that can trigger diabetes in mice.

The finding, supports an emerging theory about the origins of autoimmunity, and may lead to new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in humans.
