  Long-term use of thiazolidinediones and fractures in type 2 diabetes: a meta-analysis
  Long-term thiazolidinedione use doubles the risk of fractures among women with type 2 diabetes, without a significant increase in risk of fractures among men with type 2 diabetes. 14-page PDF (CMAJ)
   
  The Antepartum Glucose Values that Predict Neonatal Macrosomia Differ from those that Predict Postpartum Pre-diabetes or Diabetes: Implications for the Diagnostic Criteria for Gestational Diabetes
  On antepartum OGTT, the fasting glucose value best predicts LGA risk, whereas post-load glucose values predict postpartum pre-diabetes/diabetes. These relationships may have implications for the glycemic thresholds that define obstetrical and metabolic risk (Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism)
   
  The "Metabolic Memory": Is More than Just Tight Glucose Control Necessary to Prevent Diabetic Complications?
  The concept of a "metabolic memory," that is of diabetic vascular stresses persisting after glucose normalization, has been supported both in the laboratory and in the clinic and in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes (Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism)
   
  Phenotypic Type 2 Diabetes in Obese Youth: Insulin Sensitivity and Secretion in Islet-cell Antibody Negative vs. Antibody Positive Patients
  These important metabolic differences could influence the natural history of hyperglycemia, insulin dependence and clinical outcomes in these youth (Diabetes)
   
  The Effects of Intensive Therapy and Antecedent Hypoglycemia on Counterregulatory Responses to Hypoglycemia in Type 2 Diabetes
  Intensive oral combination therapy and antecedent hypoglycemia both blunt physiologic defenses against subsequent hypoglycemia in Type 2 DM (Diabetes)
   
  UPDATE 1-Cerep in diabetes licensing deal with Sanofi
  The deal relates to the NPY1 receptor antagonist, which is in pre-clinical development for the treatment of type-2 diabetes (Reuters)
