Scientists have found that insulin has met an evolutionary cul-de-sac, limiting its ability to adapt to obesity and thereby rendering most people vulnerable to Type 2 diabetes.

More than 20 million people in the U.S. suffer neuropathic pain. At least 25% of those cases are classified as unexplained and considered cryptogenic sensory polyneuropathy (CSPN).

Older adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D), a growing but under-studied population, are prone to hypoglycemia, particularly when diabetes is longstanding. Hypoglycemia can cause

The pressure to achieve a perfect body type is a fairly obvious problem with which women basically always have to deal, but not everyone recognizes that men oftentimes face the same issue.

Artificial blood made in the laboratory could be transfused into ANY patient – regardless of their blood type, claim scientists When tested on 10 rabbits with severe blood loss, six of them survived This is reportedly comparable to if the animals were treated with real blood  Patients currently have to go to hospital where doctors

People who achieve weight loss of 10% or more in the first five years following diagnosis with type 2 diabetes have the greatest chance of seeing their disease go into remission, according to a study led by the University of Cambridge.

Previous research has shown that people born weighing 2.7 kg (6 lbs) or less face an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) as adults. New research being presented at this year’s European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) Annual Meeting in Barcelona, Spain (16-20 September) is the first study to show that

Celebrity favorite keto diet may stop one type of cancer in its tracks by cutting off its sugar fuel, study finds Keto has been touted as effective at controlling cancer in previous mouse studies But it wasn’t clear what cancer and whether it translated to humans Researchers at the University of Texas found the diet

A new study from the University of Exeter Medical School has shown that a person’s characteristics such as weight and age at diabetes diagnosis provide a simple way to select the diabetes drug that is likely to be best for them. The new research, published in the The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology, provides evidence that

The results of a recent Texas A&M University-led study provide insights into the mechanism by which estrogen can decrease insulin resistance and the production of glucose, reducing incidences of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. The study, “Estrogen Improves Insulin Sensitivity and Suppresses Gluconeogenesis via the Transcription Factor Foxo1,” can be found online in the Diabetes journal
