Researchers discover genetic factors underlying diabetic retinopathy

In a quest to find the genetic factors that are fundamental to diabetic retinopathy, scientists from the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) have also discovered a new method that can be employed as a template to investigate other types of diseases.

			Study sheds light on molecular and cellular mechanisms that cause type 2 diabetes Since 2004, Claude Knauf (INSERM) and Patrice Cani (UCLouvain) have been collaborating on molecular and cellular mechanisms in order to understand the causes of the development of type 2 diabetes and above all to identify new therapeutic targets.

			Even healthy people have "autoreactive" T cells linked to type 1 diabetes, shows study Your pancreas is studded with cell clusters called islets. In most people, special beta cells live snug in the islets, happily making the insulin that the body uses to regulate blood sugar.

	Researchers have discovered a safe, non-invasive way to manage blood sugar Researchers from the University of Iowa may have discovered a safe new way to manage blood sugar non-invasively. Exposing diabetic mice to a combination of static electric and magnetic fields for a few hours per day normalizes two major hallmarks of type 2 diabetes, according to new findings published Oct. 6 in Cell Metabolism.

	Research shows wrinkled 'super pea' may reduce risk of type 2 diabetes A type of wrinkled 'super pea' may help control blood sugar levels and could reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, suggests a new study.

	Periodontal or gum disease recognized as significant risk factor for metabolic syndrome Researchers from Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) identify a novel mechanism by which periodontal disease may cause diabetes

	Study shows flash glucose monitors help youth with type1 diabetes A world-first Otago study has revealed flash glucose monitors help youth with type 1 diabetes better monitor their blood sugar levels, however it does not improve glucose control.
