Stable Blood Sugar Curbs Diabetes Complications
sea-maid submitted, created time 1 month 2 weeks (www.reuters.com)
In people with type 1 diabetes, adequate control of blood sugar over the long haul helps reduce the risk of diabetes-related eye and kidney disease, new data suggest.
The findings stem from a look at 1,441 type one diabetic patients followed for roughly nine years as part of the pivotal Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) 


Dietary Behaviors Predict Glycemic Control in Youth With Type 1 Diabetes

OBJECTIVE—To investigate the association between dietary adherence and glycemic control among youth with type 1 diabetes.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 119 youth aged 9–14 years (mean ± SD 12.1 ± 1.6 years) with diabetes duration 1 year (5.4 ± 3.1 years). Dietary adherence was assessed using the Diabetes Self-Management Profile diet domain. Higher score defined greater dietary adherence. Glycemic control was determined by A1C.
RESULTS—Dietary adherence score was inversely correlated with A1C (r = –0.36, P < 0.0001) 
Potential Therapeutic Strategy for Type I Diabetes

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are pluripotent stromal cells that have the potential to give rise to cells of diverse lineages. Interestingly, MSCs can be found in virtually all postnatal tissues. The main criteria currently used to characterize and identify these cells are the capacity for self-renewal and differentiation into tissues of mesodermal origin, combined with a lack in expression of certain hematopoietic molecules. Because of their developmental plasticity, the notion of MSC-based therapeutic intervention has become an emerging strategy for the replacement of injured tissues 
Licensed to Kill? -----Islet Autoreactive CD8 T-cells in Type 1 Diabetes

There are something tell us about the notion that type 1 diabetes is a T-cell–mediated autoimmune disease. It is therefore logical for investigators to direct research efforts toward studies of T-cells. And CD8-positive cytotoxic T-cells have been implicated in the disease process.

In 2000, researchers in Canada reported a possible breakthrough in the treatment of type 1 diabetes. By transfusing insulin-producing cells from donated pancreases into patients, the researchers provided what looked like cures. Within a week after the procedure, all of the first six patients were liberated from daily insulin injections. 


Exhaled methyl nitrate as a noninvasive marker of hyperglycemia in type 1 diabetes

Recent technical advances allow detection of several hundred volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in human exhaled air, many of which reflect unidentified endogenous pathways. Our group has previously estimated plasma glucose levels in healthy adults during a standard oral glucose tolerance test via exhaled VOC analysis.

After studying the long-term effects of type 1 diabetes on bone development in 41 children who were an average age of about 10 years old and had type 1 diabetes for an average of about 4 years.Reasearchers found that, at the first evaluation, the children were shorter than normal but height normalized by the second evaluation. 


Calcium, vitamin D may lower diabetes risk

Calcium and vitamin D, whether from food or supplements, may help lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to a research review. 


Association of the vitamin D metabolism gene CYP27B1 with type 1 diabetes
DanyC submitted, created time 1 year 5 months (diabetes.diabetesjournals.org)
We found evidence of association with type 1 diabetes for CYP27B1 -1260 and +2838 polymorphisms, which are in perfect linkage disequilibrium. The common C allele of CYP27B1 -1260 was associated with an increased disease risk in the case-control analysis, and in the fully independent collection of families. . For the CYP24A1 gene we found no evidence of association with type 1 diabetes. 


Type 1 diabetes and heart disease -- Heavier may mean healthier
Luneetty submitted, created time 1 year 6 months (www.eurekalert.org)
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Schools of the Health Sciences studying links between an early sign of heart disease called coronary artery calcification and body fat have found that, paradoxically, more fat may have some advantages, at least for people particularly women who have type 1 diabetes. Cardiovascular complications, including heart disease, are a leading cause of death for people with diabetes, who tend to suffer cardiovascular disease decades earlier than non-diabetics. 


Motivational interviews help diabetic teens

Motivational interviewing is a special counseling technique that can help teens with type 1 diabetes keep their blood sugar under control long-term, while easing their anxiety and worry about the disease, UK researchers report in the journal Diabetes Care.Aboutone year, the researchers found that teens in the intervention group had significantly lower levels of hemoglobin A1C, a measure of long-term blood glucose control, compared with the other group. This difference remained when the researchers retested the study participants one year later. 


Adult stem cells from human cord umbilical cord blood successfully engineered to make insulin

"In a fundamental discovery that someday may help cure type 1 diabetes by allowing people to grow their own insulin-producing cells for a damaged or defective pancreas, medical researchers here have reported that they have engineered adult stem cells derived from human umbilical cord blood to produce insulin." 


Unraveling a Dispute: Is Systemic Inflammation Related to Islet Autoimmunity?

"Diabetes is an emblematic example of a heterogeneous disease. Systemic inflammation has emerged as a prominent factor in the type 2 diabetes pathoetiology, but it remains ill-defined in type 1 diabetes."

"In type 1 diabetic patients, serum C-reactive protein levels are significantly associated with depressed HRV; the favourable effects of beta-blockade on both HRV parameters and C-reactive protein serum levels suggest that autonomic nervous system may have significant modulator effects on inflammation.
