Long-term
variability in HbA1c better predicts nephropathy, retinopathy
in type 1 diabetes |

New data from the Diabetes Control and Complications
Trial showed that HbA1c variability adds to the mean value in predicting
microvascular complications in patients with type 1 diabetes (Endocrine

Inhaled
insulin improved glycemic control better than powder |
| |
Patients with type 2 diabetes randomly assigned
to Technosphere inhaled insulin for 12 weeks experienced greater
improvements in HbA1c and postprandial glucose concentrations than
with Technosphere powder (Endocrine Today) |

JDRF
Funded Research Shows Promise for Prevention, Reversal of type
1 diabetes |
| |
The findings of the study, published in ‘The
Proceedings of the National Academy of Science,’ suggest that kinase inhibitors – successfully used in cancer – may provide a new therapeutic approach for treatment of new onset type 1 diabetes
(JDRF) |

Genotype
Score in Addition to Common Risk Factors for Prediction of Type
2 Diabetes |
| |
A genotype score based on 18 risk alleles predicted
new cases of diabetes in the community but provided only a slightly
better prediction of risk than knowledge of common risk factors
alone (NEJM) |
