New Orleans, April 23 (American Physiological Society) -- Lower socioeconomic children are at high risk of developing obesity and type 2 diabetes. The mechanism that contribute to worsening insulin resistance in the growing child are unknown, but mounting evidence suggests a role for adipose derived cytokines and tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a), interlukin-6 (IL-6), leptin and resistin.

WEDNESDAY, July 17 (ScienceDaily) -- Scientists at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have discovered that a naturally occurring hormone can cause adult islet stem cells to mature into pancreatic beta cells, the insulin-secreting cells that are depleted or compromised in diabetes. The results, which appear in the August issue of Endocrinology, could help researchers design a strategy for reversing the disease.

PRINCETON, N.J., Dec. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Insulin aspart (rDNA origin) injection (brand name, NovoLog(R)), a rapid-acting human insulin analog, provides better control of blood glucose following meals than regular insulin in women with gestational diabetes, according to new research published this month in Diabetes Care. The findings are important because better control of post-meal blood glucose (postprandial glycemia) in gestational diabetes is associated with improved maternal and neonatal outcomes and with healthier birth weight.

March 26, 2002 (Newswise) -- Imagine sticking yourself with a pin on the pad of your finger tip up to seven times a day. It's an unpleasant idea, but that is exactly
what is now being asked of many diabetics. Several large clinical studies have shown that tight control of blood sugar -- requiring multiple blood samples to provide feedback needed for insulin dosing and other treatment -- decreases the progression and development of long-term complications of diabetes, such as blindness and kidney failure. Apart from the pain, tight control also comes with a risk of severe hypoglycemia -- low blood sugar that can lead to coma or seizure -- due to excessive or ill-timed insulin injections. New glucose metering technologies are just arriving that should provide relatively painless and much safer blood sugar control.
