New insights into the pathogenic mechanisms of SLC29A3 disorders

In humans, the SLC29A3 gene regulates the function of lysosomes to control waste recycling in cells such as macrophages (that engulf and destroy foreign bodies).

A new Medicare proposal would cover training for family caregivers

Even with extensive caregiving experience, Patti LaFleur was unprepared for the crisis that hit in April 2021, when her mother, Linda LaTurner, fell out of a chair and broke her hip.

Male diabetics more likely to have lower limb amputation

New research to be presented at this year's Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Hamburg, Germany (2-6 October) shows that among people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, being divorced is associated with a two-thirds higher risk of lower limb amputation (LLA) (amputations below the knee level) compared with being married, and being male is associated with a 57% higher risk of LLA compared with being female. The study is by Dr Stefan Jansson, Örebro University, Örebro, Sweden, and colleagues.

Medications for chronic diseases can impair thermoregulation, especially in hot weather

Medications to treat various chronic diseases may hinder the body’s ability to lose heat and regulate its core temperature to optimal levels.

Study shows COVID-19 vaccination reduces, but does not entirely ameliorate, excess diabetes incidence after COVID-19

Researchers investigate the effect of COVID-19 and its vaccination on the incidence and persistence of type 2 diabetes.

Men and women with elevated blood sugar levels have greater risk of cardiovascular diseases

Men and women with raised blood sugar levels have 30-50% greater risk of developing cardiovascular diseases even when these levels are below the threshold for diabetes, a new study has shown.

C-Path and Sanofi collaborate to advance Type 1 Diabetes research

Critical Path Institute (C-Path) announced today that Sanofi, a global leader in immunology and diabetes care, has joined its Type 1 Diabetes Consortium (T1DC). Sanofi joins T1DC as part of its commitment to push the boundaries of innovation to improve the lives of those with diabetes.

Researchers seek to understand the Achilles' heel of insulin pump technology

Since the insulin pump started widespread use in the early 1980s, it's become the option of choice for type 1 diabetes patients to manage their glucose levels in a way that doesn't require testing their blood sugar and injecting insulin multiple times daily.

T cells can be used to identify type 1 diabetes risk, study shows

Scripps Research scientists have shown that analyzing a certain type of immune cell in the blood can help identify people at risk of developing type 1 diabetes, a life-threatening autoimmune disease.

Study provides new insights into how SARS-CoV-2 affects glucose metabolism

Research conducted at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil shows that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can infect liver cells (hepatocytes), stimulating glucose production and leading to a condition similar to diabetes (hyperglycemia) in hospitalized patients, even if their blood sugar level was normal before they were admitted to hospital.
