BOSTON, June 23 (EurekAlert) -- Why do some people seem to develop type 1 diabetes rapidly while in others it may take years to develop? A new study by Joslin Diabetes Center researchers reveals one of the key biochemical pathways that determines whether type 1 diabetes will remain in its early stages or progress to full-blown disease, possibly explaining why some people develop type 1 diabetes more rapidly than others. The study was published earlier this month in The Journal of Experimental Medicine by a team from Joslin's Immunology and Immunogenetics research section.

ATLANTA, November 5 (CDC) -- November is National Diabetes Awareness Month. An estimated 18.2 million persons in the United States (i.e., 6.3% of the population) have diabetes. However, 5.2 million (29%) of these persons have not had their condition diagnosed. Persons with diabetes have a risk of premature death that is approximately two times greater than that of persons without the disease. From 1980 to 2002, the number of persons with diabetes in the United States more than doubled. In 2000, diabetes was the sixth leading cause of death in the United States and cost the nation more than $132 billion dollars in health-care expenditures.
