Discovery that insulin is produced in the brain and it’s decrease raises possibility of Type 3 diabetes linked to Alzheimer’s Disease and changes the way we view the disease.

Findings from a study suggest that primary beta-cell dysfunction plays a key role in the pathogenesis of low birth weight (LBW)-associated type 2 diabetes.

Chronic angiotensin II receptor blockade with olmesartan improves renal vascular perfusion despite significant blood pressure reductions in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Normal insulin sensitivity is restored more rapidly and is not dependent on the amount of weight loss.

Mean plasma glucose concentrations increased by 0.5 mg/dL for each cigarette smoked per day.

DHEA-S (Serum dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate) concentrations correlate inversely with urinary albumin excretion in men with type 2 diabetes.

The risk of Alzheimer’s disease is increased in people with diabetes, who are “resistant” to the effects of insulin and therefore develop high blood glucose levels.

Middle-aged people with diabetes are nearly three times more likely to develop dementia in old age than people without diabetes.

Microalbuminuria was is common among those with diabetes, but it is also present in the early stages of glucose intolerance.
