Insulin is a hormone that helps control glucose (blood sugar) levels in the blood, which tend to increase after meals. People suffering from type-2 diabetes are resistant to the glucose-lowering effects…
Cooler temperatures increase the amount of heat-generating brown fat in people, according to research from Sydney being presented…
Researchers have discovered an enzyme which, when suppressed, promotes insulin secretion and reduces hyperglycaemia associated…
Cancer patients who are also diabetic may be up to four times more likely to die prematurely than those with cancer only…
Daily jabs of insulin are a painful reality for many with diabetes. That may change if researchers who have successfully tested oral insulin in rats are able to replicate those results in humans. Nearly…
Many people around the world take insulin injections to manage their type 1 diabetes. Although it’s essential for their health, some dangerously manipulate their treatment to lose weight. Insulin is a…
The hypothalamus has a powerful effect on maintaining blood glucose levels independent of insulin. Since its discovery in…
Using insulin pumps to treat Type 1 diabetes in children is more effective at controlling blood sugar and causes fewer infections…
A new study suggests that mothers who breastfeed run a lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s, with longer periods of breastfeeding…
Researchers have developed a simpler and faster way of producing designer bacteria used in biotechnology processes. It is…
New treatments for diabetes are set to be developed, following a discovery about the way insulin works inside the human body. In a study published today in the journal Nature, researchers from the Walter…
New medicines are often marketed on the basis of clinical trials of limited size and duration. So clinical studies of a medicine after it has reached the market (post-marketing studies) can be a useful…
