Researchers in Massachusetts say they have developed a model to assess the life-expectancy of kidney disease patients on dialysis that could help guide discussions about end-of-life care. 

Three basal insulins were compared for the effects of exercise on plasma glucose excursions and hypoglycemia in people with Type 1 diabetes.  

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with an increased risk of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and erectile dysfunction (ED) in men younger than 45 years, researchers reported.

Experts underline benefits of SMBG for all types of diabetes treatment plans.

If obesity rates just remain stable, in the next 25 years, the number of Americans living with diabetes will nearly double, increasing from 23.7 million in 2009 to 44.1 million in 2034. Over the same period, spending on diabetes will  triple, rising from $113 billion to $336 billion, even with …

Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, La Jolla, CA,  found that, when you eat may be just as vital to your health as what you eat. Their experiments revealed that the daily waxing and waning of thousands of genes in the liver — the body’s metabolic clearinghouse — …

Researchers from the University of California, San Diego, recently offered the sharpest-yet picture of how core biochemical pathways in skeletal muscle cells and fat cells are altered in people who suffer from insulin resistance — a primary defect in Type 2 diabetes and obesity.

In adult diabetes patients with cognitive impairment, higher levels of social support for diabetes care may ameliorate the poor glycemic control often seen in these patients.

A Loyola University Health System study has found that one out of five Type 2 diabetes patients is morbidly obese — approximately 100 pounds or more overweight.

Over time, patients with Type 2 diabetes lose insulin-producing cells, a difficulty that aggravates their disease. Researchers now have identified a mechanism that triggers the problem, giving a chance to find targets for drugs to protect these crucial cells.
