There is more going on than just the immune system attacking.

Use of albuminuria level changes as the endpoint to determine need to reduce albumin-to-creatinine ratio.

Is there a difference in glucose tolerance based on body weight and adipose tissue in type 2 diabetes?

Change in albuminuria as surrogate endpoint for progression of chronic kidney disease strongly supported by biological plausibility, but empirical evidence to support its validity in epidemiological studies lacking.

In this week's Homerun Slides, more on the diabetes app as a tool to streamline processes and save time as well as money.

Type 1 diabetes (T1DM) is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans are selectively destroyed, resulting in insulin deficiency and hyperglycemia. The disease develops in genetically susceptible individuals, most likely as a result of an environmental trigger. T1DM has an uneven geographical distribution; disease prevalence is highest in populations of white European origin and lowest in those of East Asian descent. A marked gradient in disease risk also exists in Europe, with higher prevalence of T1DM in northern countries, particularly Finland, compared with areas around the Mediterranean. This pattern could be attributed to genetic differences between the populations or to the presence/absence of environmental triggers.

Researchers find increased risk in people with type 1 who have glucose levels greater than 8.0%.

More accurate genes to screen for type 1 diabetes in both newborns and adults identified.

Is it true that individuals paying for diabetes care and management using fee-for-service clinics may have better outcomes in their glucose levels?
