I have to admit that this is the first I have seen of this subject matter…
Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), which results in a baby having a low weight at birth, has been linked to the development of type 2 diabetes in adulthood. It has been suggested that this is because the expression of key genes […]
Oh boy, it has been a while since I journaled on here. First, the big change. I have now started checking my blood sugars twice a day- in the morning and before bed. My sugars have been so good as of the last few months that I feel confident in my decision. My readings have […]
Researchers and scientists out of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis discovered a very distinct and precise action of the immune cells that can cause diabetes.
Researchers were able to examine the immune cells from isolated insulin-making structures in the pancreas known as the islets of Langerhans. They caught the immune cells, known as […]
A new method that uses nanotechnology to rapidly measure minute amounts of insulin is a major step toward developing the ability to assess the health of the body’s insulin-producing cells in real time.
This could help in future forms of treatments that could be used to improve the efficacy of a new procedure for treating type […]
We have all read the recent studies linking diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. Diabetics have an over 35% higher chance of developing Alzheimer’s then non-diabetics. That is a huge finding.

This is some fabulous news! Renewed promise to continue forward with diabetic gene research…
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) has announced research projects to study newly discovered human type 2 diabetes genes in mice, and potentially find new drug molecules that can treat the genetic causes of type 2 diabetes. The projects will be funded through […]
The number of pregnant women that have pre-existing diabetes has more then doubled over the last decade. Alicia at Mental Health Notes sent me over this very disturbing but important article. Being diabetic places you in the ‘high risk’ category during pregnancy and increases ones risk for miscarriage, stillbirth and birth defects.
The actual number of […]
What a week!! I had the flu… in April. Go figure. So to be totally honest I have no idea what my blodsugar was for more than half of the week. I was in bed, sleeping, coughing and shivering. I didn’ t give a hoot what my bloodsugar was and I did not eat anything […]
