Novo
Nordisk awarded contract by VA as primary source provider of
insulin |

Novo Nordisk, a global healthcare company and
leader in diabetes care, announced it has been awarded a contract
by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) as the primary
source provider of insulin (Medical News) |

Dynamic
insulin sensitivity index: importance in diabetes |
| |
These results suggest that SFormula yields a
comprehensive, precise, and cost-effective assessment of insulin
sensitivity in subjects with impaired insulin action like impaired
glucose tolerant subjects or diabetic patients (AJP - Endocrinology
and Metabolism) |

Renal
Doppler indices in diabetic children with insulin resistance
syndrome |
| |
The present work concluded that renal Doppler
indices are worse in diabetic children and particularly those with
IRS. These children appear to be at graver risk for diabetic nephropath
(Pediatric Diabetes) |

Diabetic
Retinopathy: An Update on Treatment |
| |
Treatment with laser photocoagulation is effective
at preventing severe vision loss; thus, diabetic patients should
be referred for regular screening by an ophthalmologist. New inhibitors
of vascular endothelial growth factor may provide targeted nonsurgical
treatment to improve vision in diabetic retinopathy (American Journal
of Medicine) |

Reaching
HbA1c Goals with Saxagliptin in Combination with Other Oral Antidiabetetic
drugs |
| |
Combination therapy with saxagliptin can thus
offer a potential advantage in achieving glycemic goals for the
majority of patients with type 2 diabetes without additional tolerability
concerns (Postgraduate Medicine) |

Glycated
Hemoglobin, Diabetes, and Cardiovascular Risk in Nondiabetic
Adults |
| |
In this community-based population of nondiabetic
adults, glycated hemoglobin was similarly associated with a risk
of diabetes and more strongly associated with risks of cardiovascular
disease and death from any cause as compared with fasting glucose.
These data add to the evidence supporting the use of glycated hemoglobin
as a diagnostic test for diabetes (NEJM) |

Relationship
Between Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction and Cardiac Energetics
Impairment in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus |
| |
We demonstrate that young subjects with uncomplicated
type 1 diabetes mellitus have impaired myocardial energetics irrespective
of the duration of diabetes and that the impaired cardiac energetics
status is independent of coronary microvascular function (Circulation) |

Why
mobility scooters can increase your risk of diabetes and heart
disease |

The research, published in the American Journal

being able to get around more easily are being wiped out by the
effects on the cardiovascular system (Daily Mail) |
