A study of overweight individuals with type 2 diabetes shows that people get can get more out of their daily walks by picking up the pace, which can improve cardiovascular and blood sugar control.

Impaired glucose tolerance is independently linked to an elevated stroke risk in non-diabetic patients who have already experienced a TIA or minor stroke.

Finding people with impaired fasting glucose — a prediabetic stage — could also help identify those with risk factors that can be modified to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

In women, the risk of all-cause and coronary heart disease mortality continues to increase as body mass index (BMI) rises above 30, according to the latest findings from the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) Observational Study.

New research shows signs of liver damage, but even the co-authors differ about what their findings mean for regular users

A diet that includes lots of low-fat dairy products may lower the risk of type 2 diabetes in women, new research suggests.

Assessing a meal using the glycemic index, which lists the quality of carbohydrates contained in many common foods, appears to be a good way to predict the effect a meal will have on blood sugar levels.

The addition of acarbose to exercise, however, was associated with significant improvement of glycemic control and possibly cardiovascular risk factors.

Risk of Progression to Type 2 Diabetes Based on Relationship Between Postload Plasma Glucose and Fasting Plasma Glucose Subjects whose postload plasma glucose concentration returned to baseline (i.e., FPG level) more quickly had greater insulin sensitivity, and a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

A major study has added weight to the theory that environmental factors such as common infections may be a trigger for diabetes in children and young adults’.
