Markers of "Prediabetes" Independently Raises Mortality Risk 60%

Posted: Saturday, July 07, 2007

Markers of impaired glucose metabolism in nondiabetics were independently related to increased risks of all-cause and cardiovascular death in a large population-based study.

Early Tight Control and Aggressive Treatment Pays Off

Posted: Saturday, July 07, 2007

There seems to be a point of no return in the onset of diabetes and scientists have speculated exposure to high glucose levels quickly creates a metabolic memory due to glycation, in which diabetes persists long after the glucose levels are corrected.

Posted: Thursday, June 14, 2007

Saliva may be a marker for both periodontal disease activity and hyperglycemia in uncontrolled type 2 diabetes, according to new research.

Impaired Glycemic Control Reversible When Stopping Diuretics

Posted: Friday, June 01, 2007

Results from a six-month extension study have shown that impairment in glycemic control after one year of diuretic-based combination treatment is reversible by switching to treatment not involving a diuretic, in this case, an ACE inhibitor and calcium-channel blocker.

Insulin Levels Can Predict Weight Loss on Certain Diets

Posted: Friday, May 25, 2007

Individual differences in insulin secretion may explain why some individuals respond well to either a low-fat diet or low-glycemic-load diet, whereas others do not. The findings imply that a simple, baseline oral glucose tolerance test to assess serum insulin concentration may help clinicians and dieticians choose weight-loss strategies for obese subjects.

Pistachios, when eaten with some common high-carbohydrate foods, may actually slow the absorption of carbohydrates into the body, resulting in a lower than expected blood sugar level according to a study.

A Cherry on Top: Tart Cherries May Alter Heart/Diabetes Factors

Posted: Friday, May 11, 2007

Researchers report that rats that received powdered tart cherries in their diet had lower total cholesterol, lower blood sugar, less fat storage in the liver and lower oxidative stress, compared with rats that didn't receive cherries.

Hyperglycemia Linked to Cancer Risk
