Insulin Identified as Trigger that Causes Type 1 Diabetes

Posted: Tuesday, May 30, 2006

Two teams of scientists identified the hormone insulin last week as the antigeny in triggering Type 1 diabetes.

New Test Measures Quantity of Active Beta Cells

Posted: Tuesday, May 30, 2006

Researchers at Columbia University Medical Center have identified a reliable, non-invasive imaging method that can measure the quantity of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells.

Comparison of Breakfast and Bedtime Insulin Glargine in Children and Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes

Posted: Monday, May 15, 2006

Once-daily dose of insulin glargine at breakfast in children and adolescents with Type 1 diabetes on intensive therapy is more efficacious than bedtime administration.

Dynamic Duo, Combination Therapy Reverses Type 1 Diabetes

Posted: Monday, May 15, 2006

By combining an oral with an intranasal therapy for type 1 diabetes that have individually shown beneficial, but limited, effects in previous studies, Matthias von Herrath and colleagues at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology deliver a one-two punch, and prove that, in this case, 2 treatments work together better than one.

Oral-lyn Results for Type 1s

Posted: Thursday, April 27, 2006

Results Demonstrate Metabolic Control in Diabetes Showed a Significant Improvement When Compared to Standard Therapy

Diabetes Reversed: FDA Authorizes Human Trials

Posted: Friday, April 21, 2006

After successfully demonstrating that a groundbreaking treatment strategy can reverse type 1 diabetes in animal studies, the FDA has given the go-ahead for researchers from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center to begin a phase I trial evaluating the treatment in humans.

'Elation' Over Failed Diabetes Studies

Posted: Thursday, April 20, 2006

Researchers fail to replicate a 2003 report of a way to cure Type 1 diabetes, but they all agree on one thing, that it is possible to cure diabetic mice and one day perhaps people.

Preserving Insulin Production In Newly Diagnosed Type 1 Diabetics

Posted: Thursday, April 20, 2006

A drug used to treat lymphoma, rheumatoid arthritis and other immune disorders may enable newly-diagnosed type 1 diabetics to save some of their pancreas function and thereby reduce their susceptibility to long-term complications

Short, Maximal Sprint Prevents Postexercise Hypoglycemia in Type 1’s

Posted: Friday, March 24, 2006

a 10-second maximal sprint immediately following the moderate-intensity exercise stopped a further decline in blood glucose levels for the next 2 hours, the results indicate. In contrast, moderate-intensity exercise followed by a rest period led to a further decrease in blood glucose levels

Scientists Get Cells to Produce Insulin

Posted: Thursday, March 16, 2006

If a new finding by Burnham Institute and UCSD scientists holds true, millions of diabetics could someday drastically reduce their dependence on drugs and perhaps even have a cure. They discovered that when mixed with cells from pancreatic fetal tissue, non-islet pancreatic cells could be coaxed into becoming beta cells.
