US researchers said that deep, restful sleep is very important for keeping type 2 diabetes away,
Research said that slim, healthy young adults who were deprived of the deepest stage of sleep known as slow-wave sleep developed insulin resistance — a trait linked to type 2 diabetes — after just three nights. The research demonstrates […]
Type 2 diabetes can be prevented and in some cases reversed; all you have to do is make changes in the way you live and eat.An American Epidemic Diabetes occurs when your body does not produce or properly use insulin, the hormone needed to allow glucose and other fuels to enter your cells.

Myocardial infarction more than doubles the risk of new-onset diabetes and leads to a 15-fold increased risk of impaired fasting glucose, according to a study of more than 8,000 MI patients.
During a mean follow-up of 3.2 years post-MI, 3.7% of patients developed diabetes, compared with 0.8% to 1.6% for historical cohort populations with no history […]
Diabetes case management that takes a patient’s specific culture into consideration can help increase life expectancy and decrease the incidence of diabetes-related complications over the patient’s lifetime, a new study finds.
“Better management results in reduced long-term complications, such as blindness, stroke, amputation and nerve damage,” said lead researcher Todd Gilmer, Ph.D.
The research focused on 3,893 […]

On August 22, deputy Minister of Labor, Health and Social Affairs Davit Meskhishvili, joined by director of the National Diabetes Center Ramaz Kurashvili, held a press conference to announce the ministry’s […]
As medicine struggles to halt the nation’s diabetes epidemic, scientists have found a potential new weapon in the most unlikely place — the skeleton.
Bone cells, they discovered, generate a hormone that helps regulate the body’s metabolism. And the lack of that hormone appears to contribute to the development of diabetes.
The work, conducted in mice, has […]
Diabetes can be a killer, causing heart and vascular problems – and now scientists think they know why. Diabetics are likely to be deficient in thiamine (vitamin B1), and it is this that makes diabetes – both types I and II – such a serious condition.
Researchers from Warwick University have found that diabetics have a […]
