Urban air pollution, especially coming from heavy traffic, can increase a senior citizen’s risk of developing type-2 diabetes, according to a new study. The mechanism could be the chronic low-level tissue inflammation that pollution triggers. Chronic...
A large population-based study from Children's Hospital Boston now provides evidence that excess maternal weight gain is a strong, independent predictor that the baby will have a higher birth weight – and a possible legacy of lifelong problems with obesity...
A body of research has already investigated a possible link between green tea and diabetes risk. A new study suggests that the tea component epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) could play a role in reducing low density lipoprotein (LDL) and glycation in...
Lab tests indicate that cashew seed extract could help boost glucose uptake, earmarking it as a compound with potential anti-diabetic properties. The tests, which were conducted using mouse and rat liver cells, found that the effect only occurred when...
Britain’s National Health Service is spending too much on diabetes drugs, according to researchers, who found the medicines account for 7 percent of the UK prescribing budget. A rise in the number of people with type 2 diabetes in recent years does not...
Adults born at the height of China's famine in the 1950s and 60s may have a greater risk of abnormally high blood sugar. The finding supports the theory that nutrition and growth during fetal development may affect your odds of developing type 2 diabetes...
Your skeleton has a key role in regulating blood sugar. In fact, bones may be the underlying cause of diabetes in some people. A study in mice found that the breakdown of old bone to make way for new bone growth also helps to keep a healthy level of glucose...
Malfunctions in sugar processing symptomatic of diabetes and obesity could also explain mental disorders such as schizophrenia. People with diabetes have problems processing insulin, the hormone that helps regulate sugar. In new experiments, researchers...
Overweight girls who lose weight while they are still young greatly reduced their risk for developing type 2 diabetes. A study followed close to 110,000 women from 1989 to 2005, noting how many developed diabetes during that time. An initial survey collected...
Children are at increased risk of being overweight if their mothers developed diabetes while pregnant, according to a new study. The same research also showed that children born to obese mothers are more likely to have a weight problem. Reuters reports...
Eating grapes could slow the slide from high blood pressure and insulin resistance to heart disease and type 2 diabetes. The effect is believed to be caused by phytochemicals, which are naturally occurring antioxidants, within the grapes. According to...
Increased blood levels of selenium may decrease the risk of abnormal blood sugar metabolism in men, and maybe protect against diabetes. Levels of the minerals did not affect the risk of abnormal blood sugar metabolism in women, however. The study is of...
