Exercise is an important treatment in normalizing blood glucose level in type 2 diabetes as well as in type 1 diabetes. It is also important to know the type of exercise diabetics should undertake that involve minimizing the risks and at the same time deriving maximum benefits to normalize the blood sugar and giving good [...]

Diabetes Type 2, or adult-onset diabetes, is a chronic disease where either the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells do not react normally to insulin. This affects the way the body metabolizes sugar (glucose). Diabetes Type 2 may be present for years before the person knows it. People may have high blood [...]

Type 2 diabetes is getting increasingly common in developed countries. Other developing countries are seeing a fast emerging trend of the disease. Diabetes type 2 is caused by insulin deficiency and hyperglycemia. Although this disease is more common in adults over 40, it is increasingly seen in young teenagers and even children. This worrying trend [...]

More than 20 million people have diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association. By the end of the [...]

Research led by the German Institute of Human Nutrition (DIfE) has identified a new gene associated with diabetes, together with a mechanism that makes obese mice less susceptible to diabetes. A genomic fragment that occurs naturally in some mouse strains diminishes the activity of the risk gene Zfp69. The researchers also found that the corresponding [...]

Scientists in Sydney and Boston believe they may have identified a gene that controls abnormal production of sugar in the liver, a very troublesome problem for people with diabetes.
The liver is the sugar factory for the body – when blood sugar (glucose) levels fall, the liver makes and releases more. In people with diabetes, especially [...]

Triglycerides better predictor of neuropathy than blood glucose levels, study suggests.
Diabetes patients with elevated levels of triglyceride fats are at increased risk of developing a serious complication called neuropathy — the loss or damage of nerves that results in numbness, tingling and pain in the hands, arms, legs and feet, researchers say.
A study by U.S. [...]

Burning the candle at both ends during the working week could raise a person’s risk of developing type 2 diabetes, New York researchers say.
People who slept fewer than six hours a night were more likely to develop a condition that precedes diabetes than those sleeping for longer, they found.
They said the study supported mounting evidence [...]
