Evaluation
of the cost effectiveness of exenatide versus insulin glargine
in patients with sub-optimally controlled Type 2 diabetes in
the United Kingdom |
| |
With current clinical evidence, exenatide does
not appear to represent a cost-effective treatment option for patients
with Type 2 diabetes when compared to insulin glargine (CardioVascular
Diabetology) |

Shocking
new statistics |
| |
New figures by the Yorkshire and Humber Public
Health Observatory reveal that more than one in ten (11.6 per cent)
deaths among 20 to 79-year-olds in England can be attributed to
diabetes (Diabetes, UK) |

New
study supports need for more research |
| |
According to information released today, more
than one in ten adult deaths in England are caused by diabetes.
These shocking statistics highlight why Juvenile Diabetes Research
Foundationcontinues to fund research into finding the cure for
type 1 diabetes (JDRF) |

Effects
of glucagon on islet beta cell function in patients with diabetes
mellitus |
| |
The 6-minute glucagon test is valuable in assessing
the function of islet beta cell in patients with diabetes mellitus.
It is helpful for diagnosis and treatment of diabetes mellitus

The
impact of diabetic autonomic neuropathy on the incretin effect |
| |
The incretin effect was impaired in both groups
of diabetic patients. Autonomic neuropathy may further impair the
incretin effect in DM2 through interference with GIP secretion
or hepatic insulin extraction (PubMed, USA) |

Predicting
type 2 diabetes based on polymorphisms from genome wide association
studies: a population-based study |
| |
We showed that nine out of eighteen well-established
genetic risk variants were associated with type 2 diabetes in a
population-based study (Diabetes, USA) |

Many college-bound freshmen have the same questions
about their new roommate: Will she be messy, drink a lot, have
a weird boyfriend? Caroline McEnery, who heads to Boston College
this month, has a few extra concerns, such as: Will her roommate
mind bunking with someone with diabetes? (American Diabetes Association) |

ApoB
and HOMA-IR best for atherosclerosis prediction in Type 2 diabetics |
| |
Apolipoprotein (apo)B and the homeostasis model
of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) are better markers of atherosclerosis
in patients with Type 2 diabetes than low-density lipoprotein (LDL)
cholesterol alone (Medwire News) |
