Pre-diabetes - a condition that raises a person's risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke - is far more common in America than previously believed.
Infections Can Increase Risk of Diabetes in Children
A recently published study details how a certain type of infection in infants is associated with a greater risk of developing type 1 diabetes. Viral...
New Needle Free Injection System Provides Comfortable Option For Taking Insulin
There's encouraging news for the more than 16 million Americans living with diabetes-painful needlesticks associated with insulin injection may soon be a thing of the past.
Antipsychotic and Anti-depressant Drugs Given to Children Increases Diabetes Risk
Antipsychotic drugs prescribed to children and adolescents with disruptive behaviors, such as ADHD, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, can cause Type 2 diabetes and obesity....
Recovering T Regulatory Cells in Pancreas May Restore Insulin Production in Diabetics
The key to restoring production of insulin in type I diabetic patients, previously known as juvenile diabetes, may be in recovering the population of protective cells known T regulatory cells in the lymph nodes at the "gates" of the pancreas.
Photos Helping Researchers Understand Juvenile Diabetes

Researchers Identify Mechanism in the Pancreas that Turns on Insulin Production
Researchers at the Salk Institute have discovered how a hormone turns on a series of molecular switches inside the pancreas that increases production of insulin.
Study: Formula Feeding, Early Introduction Of Infant Food May Not Contribute To Childhood Obesity
A new study has found that a child's fatness at age five is not related to being breastfed or the age in infancy when other foods are introduced.
People with Type 1 Diabetes Live Longer with Early Blood Glucose Control
People with type 1 diabetes who intensively control their blood glucose (blood sugar) early in their disease are likely to live longer than those who do not.
Researchers Create Closed-Loop Artificial Pancreas
Researchers help create a closed-loop artificial pancreas to automatically monitor blood sugar levels and administer insulin to patients with Type 1 diabetes.
1-in-3 Type 1 Diabetics Still Produce Insulin Years After Being Diagnosed
About one-third of type 1 diabetics (T1D) produce insulin even upward of forty years from initial diagnosis, according to a new study.

Type 1 Diabetics’ Blood Sugar Defense Mechanisms Restored After Islet Cell Transplantation
Type 1 diabetics who have developed low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) as a complication of insulin treatments over time are able to regain normal internal recognition of the condition after receiving pancreatic islet cell transplantation.
Noninsulin-Producing Alpha Cells in the Pancreas Can Be Converted to Insulin-Producing Beta Cells
In findings that add to the prospects of regenerating insulin-producing cells in people with type 1 diabetes, researchers have shown that insulin-producing beta cells can be derived from non-insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
Study Examines Insulin Pump Therapy in Adolescents
Joslin study shows durability of insulin pump therapy for adolescents and identifies factors to help them overcome barriers to success.
