Interference With Blood Glucose Measurement Following Use of Parenteral Maltose/Galactose/Oral Xylose-Containing Products
Potential for life-threatening falsely elevated glucose readings in patients who have received parenteral products containing maltose or galactose, or oral xylose, and are subsequently tested using glucose dehydrogenase pyrroloquinolinequinone (GDH-PQQ) based glucose monitoring systems.
Researchers Prevent Type 1 Diabetes by Blocking B-cell AID
Researchers at The Jackson Laboratory, Cyteir Therapeutics and collaborating institutions have found a way to protect beta cells from destruction -- achieving a longtime,...
New Study Demonstrates Glucose Device Rapidly Alleviates Major Symptom of Type 1 Diabetes in...
Hypoglycemia is difficult to treat, particularly in children younger than five years of age, because of difficulties in administering the correct glucose dose as well as patient compliance. Researchers presented data that demonstrated how a new approach that could change the way this disorder is managed in millions of pediatric diabetes patients worldwide.
Risk of Diabetes Doubled for Infants Starting Solid Food Before 4 Months Old
Infants who get their first solid food before 4 months of age and after 6 months may have a higher risk of developing Type 1 diabetes.
Researchers Overcome Stumbling Block to Developing Successful Insulin-Cell Transplants for Type 1 Diabetics
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have found a way to overcome a major stumbling block to developing successful insulin-cell transplants for people with type I diabetes.
Prototype Developed for Ultrasonic Patch to Deliver Insulin
Engineers have developed a prototype for an ultrasound insulin delivery system that is about the size and weight of a matchbook that can be worn as a patch on the body.
Target Identified for New Diabetes Drug
New research points to the naturally produced protein apolipoprotein A-IV as a potential target for a new diabetes therapeutic.
Research Team Pinpoints Gene Key to Reactivating Insulin-Producing Beta Cells
A BYU research team, which includes several students with type 1 diabetes, have pinpointed a gene that causes beta cells to replicate. Beta cells...
Difficulty Trusting and Reaching Out to Others May Shorten Diabetes Patients’ Lives
Self-reliant diabetes patients had a 33 percent higher mortality rate during a 5-year study, compared to diabetes patients who interacted easily with others and sought support.
Drivers with Type-1 Diabetes Report Increased Incidence of Car Crashes
Drivers with type-1 diabetes reported higher numbers of driving mishaps according to a multi-center study.
New Type 1 Diabetes Treatment Option Discovered
New treatment for Type 1 Diabetes is on the horizon thanks to researchers who discovered a more successful option than the one currently used.
Natural Glucose Byproduct May Prevent Brain Damage and Cognitive Impairment After Diabetic Coma
A natural, non-toxic byproduct of glucose may prevent brain cell death and cognitive impairment in diabetics following an episode of severely low blood sugar.
Bigger Capsules the Key to Transplanting Islet Cells?
Something as simple as changing the size of the cell-carrying spheres may be the answer to the problem researchers have been having when it...
Study: Tight Diabetes Control Does Not Impact Cognitive Ability in Type 1 Diabetes
A study provides good news for patients with type 1 diabetes who want to maintain tight blood glucose control and thus significantly reduce their risk of developing the devastating complications of the disease - heart disease, kidney failure, eye disease and blindness, and nerve damage.
New Study of Human Pancreases Links Virus to Cause of Type 1 Diabetes
A team of researchers has found that a common family of viruses may play an important role in triggering the development of diabetes, particularly in children.
