Review: People With Severe Psoriasis Have Nearly Twice the Risk for Diabetes
An analysis of 27 studies linking psoriasis in 314,000 individuals with diabetes has found strong correlation between the scaly skin rash and the blood sugar disorder that predisposes patients to heart disease.
Study: Amish Children Are 2-Times More Physically Active Than Non-Amish Children
Old Order Amish children are much more physically active and three times less likely to be overweight than non-Amish children, which may provide them with some long-term protection against developing Type 2 diabetes.
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.
Study: Vitamin D Deficiency Raises Heart Disease Risk
New research shows that low levels of vitamin D are associated with a markedly higher risk of heart attack and early death.
Iron Transport May Be Linked to Cause of Diabetes
Researchers have now shown that the increased activity of one particular iron-transport protein destroys insulin-producing beta cells. In addition, the new research shows that...
Study: Risk of Diabetes Substantially Reduced by Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery reduces the long-term risk of developing diabetes by over 80% among people with obesity...
Studies: Children’s Health Provided Added Benefit from Longer Exercise
Twenty minutes of daily, vigorous physical activity over just three months can reduce a child's risk of diabetes as well as his total body fat - including dangerous, deep abdominal fat - but 40 minutes works even better...
Study: Where Body Fat is Stored May Determine Likelihood of Obese People Developing Type...
Obese individuals with excess visceral fat have an increased risk for the development of Type 2 diabetes. By contrast, persons with excess abdominal subcutaneous fat were...
Study Explains Decrease in Insulin-Producing Beta Cells in Diabetics
Findings suggest that strategies to prevent beta cells from de-differentiating, or to coax them to re-differentiate, might improve glucose balance in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Study: Latinos More Vulnerable to Fatty Pancreas, Type 2 Diabetes
In a study comparing white, black and Latino participants, Latinos are more likely to store fat in the pancreas and are less able to compensate by excreting additional insulin, a Cedars-Sinai study shows.

Single Gene Cause of Insulin Sensitivity May Offer Insight for Treating Diabetes
The first single gene cause of increased sensitivity to the hormone insulin has been discovered by a team of Oxford University researchers.
Toxic Byproduct of Heat-Processed Food May Lead to Weight Gain and Diabetes
Researchers have identified a common compound in the modern diet that could play a major role in the development of abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes.
