Scientists Reveal New Clues to Origin of Diabetes Posted: Wednesday, October 27, 2010

Scientists have identified events inside insulin-producing pancreatic cells that set the stage for a neonatal form of non-autoimmune Type 1 diabetes, and may play a role in Type 2 diabetes as well.

Identification of a Gene Linked to Both Alzheimer's Disease and Type 2 Diabetes Posted: Sunday, October 10, 2010

A research team has identified the mechanism behind a single gene linked to the causes of both Alzheimer's disease and Type 2 diabetes. A gene for a protein called SorCS1, which can cause Type 2 diabetes, impacts the accumulation of amyloid-beta (Abeta) in the brain. Abeta plays a key role in the development of Alzheimer's disease.

Blood Test Anticipates Diabetes 10 Years in Advance Posted: Wednesday, September 29, 2010

A blood test that could predict those at risk of getting diabetes 10 years earlier than current diagnosis has been developed by scientists.

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.

Why Fad Diets Work Well for Some but Not Others Posted: Monday, August 09, 2010

In the first study of its type, Australian researchers have shown that healthy people with a genetic predisposition to Type 2 diabetes gain more weight overeating over the short term than their non-genetically-prone counterparts, when eating the exact same foods.

Diabetes Therapy Individualized Using Genetics Posted: Tuesday, April 27, 2010

Advances in the genetics of Type 2 diabetes have provided a foundation for individual treatment strategies, which should be a continuing goal of research, according to a consensus statement from diabetes specialists.

Using Genotypes to Individualize Diabetes Treatment Posted: Sunday, April 18, 2010

A panel of diabetes experts is encouraging efforts to increase understanding of the heterogeneity of Type 2 diabetes to achieve individualized treatments and improve treatment responses.

DNA Testing Determines which Popular Diet Will Work Posted: Sunday, April 04, 2010

New data provided some early evidence that the secret to weight loss might lie in DNA and that the best way to shed excessive pounds is to diet according to genotype...
