Stem Cells Finally Found in Pancreas Posted: Friday, February 01, 2008

An international team of researchers has finally managed to locate stem cells in the pancreas -- in mice, at least, and could pave the way for dramatic new therapies for diabetes, namely the regeneration of beta cells so the body could once again produce its own insulin.

New Insulin Sensitivity Index From The Oral Glucose Tolerance Test Posted: Thursday, January 10, 2008

A new insulin sensitivity index was devised on the basis of an autoregressive model and its validity was investigated.

New Method To Take Insulin Orally Posted: Thursday, January 03, 2008

Diabetes treatment could get a whole lot easier to swallow. Dr. Robert Doyle, assistant professor of chemistry at Syracuse University has designed, tested, reproduced and patented a system for delivering insulin through an oral pill.

Can Exenatide Be Substituted for Insulin? Posted: Thursday, December 27, 2007

In the current issue of Diabetes Care, Davis et al. report on a small study exploring the safety of substituting exenatide for insulin therapy in an attempt to take patients off insulin.

Camel Milk May Be Answer to Diabetes? Posted: Thursday, December 20, 2007

It has been scientifically proven that gulping down camel milk daily would supplement 60 to 70 per cent of insulin in Type I diabetics.

Insulin Reduces Mortality in Patients With ACS and Hyperglycemia Posted: Thursday, December 13, 2007

Insulin treatment of nondiabetic patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and hyperglycemia is associated with reduced risk of death in the first 30 days.

Insulin Detemir Safer Than NPH in Elderly Type 2's Posted: Thursday, December 13, 2007

In patients older than 65 with type 2 diabetes requiring insulin, insulin detemir may be a better choice than NPH insulin, based on an analysis of pooled data from randomized studies.

Substituting Exenatide for Insulin May Work for Some Type 2's Posted: Thursday, December 06, 2007

For type 2 diabetes patients who were taking insulin plus oral antidiabetes drugs, the results from a small 16-week study suggest it may be feasible to substitute subcutaneous exenatide (Byetta) for insulin, especially among patients who have had a shorter disease duration, are taking relatively low insulin doses, and have better endogenous beta-cell function.

Insulin and Not Metformin is Linked to Higher Rate of Fractures Posted: Thursday, December 06, 2007

Insulin-sensitizing treatment with metformin is not associated with a higher incidence of bone fractures, but current treatment with insulin increases the risk for fractures, according to the results of a nested case-control study.

Fat Cells Improve Insulin Secretion Posted: Thursday, November 29, 2007

The body's fat cells help the pancreas do its job of secreting insulin. This previously unrecognized process ultimately could lead to new methods to improve glucose metabolism in type 2 diabetic or insulin-resistant people.
