Bariatric Surgery Can Just Mask Diabetes Posted: Tuesday, May 04, 2010

Bariatric surgery may appear to cure diabetes based on measurements such as fasting plasma glucose and hemoglobin A1c, but postprandial glucose can still be elevated say researchers.

How Genetic Mutations May Cause Type 1 Diabetes Posted: Tuesday, May 04, 2010

Scientists have provided an answer to the 40-year-old mystery of how certain genetic mutations lead to Type 1 diabetes. This new molecular understanding could lead to novel therapies for Type 1 diabetes and other autoimmune diseases.

Experimental Artificial Pancreas Succeeds with Type 1 Diabetes Patients Posted: Tuesday, April 27, 2010

In the first clinical trial of a system using two hormones, an artificial pancreas delivered insulin and glucagon in a way that closely mimics the body's control of blood sugar and maintained near-normal levels of glucose in a small group of Type 1 diabetes patients without them developing hypoglycemia.

Cells in Pancreas Can Spontaneously Change into Insulin-Producing Cells Posted: Sunday, April 18, 2010

Alpha cells in the pancreas, which do not produce insulin, can convert into insulin-producing beta cells, advancing the prospect of regenerating beta cells as a cure for Type 1 diabetes.

Nanoparticle Vaccine Used to Cure Type 1 Diabetes Posted: Sunday, April 18, 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.

Study Explains How Weight-loss Surgery Reverses Type 2 Diabetes Posted: Sunday, April 04, 2010

A team of researchers, led by a University of California Davis (UC Davis) veterinary endocrinologist, has shown for the first time that a surgical procedure in rats that is similar to bariatric surgery in humans...

Key to Reversing Type 1 Diabetes Discovered Posted: Sunday, February 14, 2010

Doctors at Eastern Virginia Medical School's Strelitz Diabetes Center have been stalking the culprit responsible for Type 1 diabetes. Now, they are one step closer.

Andrew P. Mandell - Mr. Diabetes® to Sit On ProtoKinetix Advisory Board Posted: Friday, January 15, 2010

Andrew P. Mandell - Mr. Diabetes®, Executive Director of Defeat Diabetes Foundation and diabetes advocate announced today that he will be sitting on the ProtoKinetix (PKTX) Advisory Board. ProtoKinetix, Inc. is a biotechnology company that has developed and patented a family of synthetic anti-aging glycoproteins (AAGP™) for medicine and the biotechnology and cosmetic industries.

ProtoKinetix’ AAGP™ Shows Promise as a Tool in Diabetes Treatment / Cure Posted: Tuesday, January 12, 2010

Independent studies done by universities and corporations have illustrated a remarkable increase in the yield of viable stem cells after cryopreservation using AAGP™ in the freeze-thaw process. One future approach to increasing diabetics’ insulin production is related to an ability to convert their stem cells into islet cells for transplantation. The feasibility of this procedure is dependent upon the amount of functioning islet cells that can be derived from the patient’s stem cells. This is where AAGP™ can make a very beneficial contribution.

Regaining Normal Glucose Function in Patients with Prediabetes Posted: Sunday, January 03, 2010

Diabetes prevention likely resides in the restoration of Normal Glucose Regulation (NGR) rather than in the maintenance of a high-risk state, such as pre-diabetes. Therefore, it is encouraging to note that nearly one quarter of the study participants achieved NGR within the 3-year study window. Over half of those patients did so in the first year, so for the most part, those who succeed in having NGR restored will do so relatively quickly.
