ADA Diabetes World- June 12, 2008
(Market Wire via Comtex) The world's largest diabetes trial has shown intensive blood glucose control in type 2 diabetes reduces the risk of complications — notably a 21% reduction in risk for kidney disease. The study also showed no evidence of any increased risk of death when blood glucose was intensively controlled, according to reports presented at the American Diabetes Association's 68th Annual Scientific Sessions.

Link Between Type 2 Diabetes, Sleep Apnea
Diabetes in Control Newsletter- June 10, 2008
The ties being found between type 2 diabetes and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) indicate these disorders have major implications on public health.
Up to 40 percent of people with OSA, a common breathing disorder, also have diabetes, recent studies suggest. Likewise, more than half of the people with type 2 diabetes suffer from some form of sleep disorder. Another recent study suggests treating OSA with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) improves insulin sensitivity in non-obese people.

Men And Women May Metabolize Fructose Differently
ADA Diabetes World- June 5, 2008
(Reuters Health) Men and women appear to differ in how they metabolize high levels of fructose, a simple sugar commonly used to sweeten drinks and foods. Short-term high fructose intake among young men resulted in increased blood triglycerides (fats) and decreased insulin resistance, factors associated with an elevated risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, report Dr. Luc Tappy and colleagues.

New Insights in Diagnosing Diabetes Help to Find the Undiagnosed
Diabetes in Control Newsletter- June 4, 2008
It may be time to use the A1c to help diagnosis those 6.2 million people that have diabetes and are not aware.
In light of the 6.2 million Americans who don't realize they have diabetes, a panel of experts examined the current criteria for screening and diagnosing the disease and found a significant need for improvement. Their conclusions and recommendations can be found in a new report accepted for publication in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM).

Mediterranean Diet Can Protect Against Diabetes
Diabetes in Control Newsletter- June 4, 2008
Strict adherence to a traditional Mediterranean diet yielded an 83% relative reduction in the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, a prospective study found. Even moderate adherence was associated with a 59% relative reduction in diabetes risk, Miguel Martínez-González, M.D., Ph.D., of the University of Navarra here, and colleagues reported online in BMJ. Many studies have shown that the Mediterranean diet has a protective role in cardiovascular disease, but little is known about its role in preventing diabetes in healthy people, the researchers said.
