Dietary
Glycemic Index, Development of Islet Autoimmunity, and Subsequent
Progression to Type 1 Diabetes in Young Children |
| |
Higher dietary glycemic index and glycemic load
are not associated with IA development, but higher glycemic index
is associated with more rapid progression to type 1 diabetes in
children with IA, perhaps due to increased demand on the Beta-cell
to release insulin (Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism) |

Youth
and parent education about diabetes complications: health professional
survey |
| |
Patient characteristics and professionals' attitudes
were associated with experts' willingness to inform families about
long-term diabetic complications. Further research should explore
how these practice variations affect coping with diabetes (Pediatric
Diabetes) |

Too
much iron can cause diabetes |
| |
According to reports from America, common disease
hemochromatosis is a major risk for developing diabetes, not to
mention other diseases including congestive heart failure (Daibetes.org.uk) |

Broccoli
could reverse the heart damaging effects of diabetes |
| |
Professor Paul Thornalley and his team from
the University of Warwick have found a broccoli compound called
Sulforaphane. This compound can encourage the body to produce more
enzymes to protect the vessels, as well as reduce high levels of
molecules which cause significant cell damage (University of Warwick,
UK) |

Activation
of NF-E2-related factor-2 reverses biochemical dysfunction of
endothelial cells induced by hyperglycemia linked to vascular
disease |
| |
We conclude that activation of nrf2 may prevent
biochemical dysfunction and related functional responses of endothelial
cells induced by hyperglycemia in which increased expression of
transketolase has a pivotal role (Diabetes) |

94
percent of doctors surveyed are aware of relationship between
type 2 diabetes and sleep apnea |
| |
Yet only 47 percent conduct routine screening;
sleep apnea screening protocol designed to close the gap between
theory and practice (EurekAleet, USA) |

Lilly
Diabetes Drug Shows a Life-Extending Promise |
| |
Neither Eli Lilly or Amylin, the companies that
jointly market Byetta, is publicizing the findings, in part because
no one is sure whether the reduction in the death rate is real
or a chance finding (New York Times, USA) |

new onset type 1 diabetes triggered a milestone payment of $7.5m
to the life sciences firm (ShareCast) |
