Dolphins Can Switch Off Insulin Resistance and Diabetes Posted: Sunday, March 07, 2010

A study in dolphins has revealed genetic clues that could help medical researchers to treat Type 2 diabetes.

Study Finds Insulin Regulates Beta Cell Function in Healthy Humans Posted: Sunday, February 28, 2010

Finding by Joslin scientists may aid in understanding how insulin production eventually goes wrong in Type 2 diabetes.

Artificial Pancreas Improves Glucose Control Posted: Sunday, February 14, 2010

Closed-loop insulin delivery systems can improve overnight blood sugar control and reduce hypoglycemia risk in young patients with Type 1 diabetes, researchers have found.

Relieving Stress on Insulin-producing Cells May Prevent Diabetes Posted: Sunday, January 03, 2010

Cells in your body are constantly churning out poisonous forms of oxygen (oxidants) and mopping them up with a countervailing force of proteins and chemicals (anti-oxidants). This balancing act of oxidative stress is particularly likely to go haywire in beta cells, the insulin-producing cells that malfunction and then start to die off in Type 2 diabetes.

First Pancreas Removal and Islet Cell Transplantation Performed Posted: Sunday, December 20, 2009

A 21-year old airman severely wounded in Afghanistan is recovering at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Bethesda, MD, after several surgeries and an unprecedented transplant.

Approved Drug Slows Type 1 Diabetes Posted: Sunday, December 20, 2009

The drug rituximab already used to treat autoimmune disorders may also slow the destruction of insulin-producing cells in patients with insulin-dependent (Type 1) diabetes.

Discovery of Insulin Production Mechanism Can Lead to Better Treatment for Diabetes Posted: Monday, November 23, 2009

How a specific gene within the pancreas affects secretion of insulin has been discovered by researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Growth Hormone in Elderly: Bad Insulin Effects, Good Lipid Effects Posted: Monday, November 16, 2009

Growth hormone increases insulin resistance and modestly improves lipid profiles in healthy older men and women, according to a new report.

Insulin-Resistance Variant Identified Posted: Wednesday, September 16, 2009

An international consortium of scientists has identified a new genetic variant associated with Type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, and hyperinsulinemia , Dr. Johan Rung Cambridge, UK, and colleagues report.

Phase II Begins for a New Islet Regeneration Treatment Posted: Wednesday, September 16, 2009

Exsulin Corporation announces next phase II trial of novel islet regeneration treatment in Type 1 diabetes. Leading diabetes research centers collaborate on new trial designed to further evaluate regeneration treatment for people with Type 1 diabetes.
