New study using a genetic growth factor to repair diabetes-damaged nerves begins.

Similar issues arise with the approach toward dyslipidemia. Niacin is effective in reducing TGs and raising HDL but it can increase insulin resistance and deteriorate glycemic control 254, 255 . Nicotinic acid, cholestyramine, fenofibrate and possibly clofibrate increase the concentrations of homocysteine, an independent risk factor for CHD 256, 257 …

GLP-1 caused both increased heart rate and elevated blood pressure.

Taking 160 mg to 325 mg of aspirin within two days of ischemic stroke offers a small but statistically significant” reduction in stroke death and disability.

A new study suggests that taking statins is associated with a 39% reduction in risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

During hospitalization, 90% of the time the patients’ hyperglycemia was not addressed.

Statins may increase the risk of nerve damage. But benefits still far outweigh the risk of neuropathy, which remains very low.

Diabetes mellitus appears to be associated with a markedly increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease, but only in men. Said, Steven D. Edland, Ph.D., at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology.
