Adult type 2 diabetes -- poor information on diet, but exercise seems good

07-17-2007 · EurekAlert!

There are no high quality data to assess how well dietary treatments for type 2 diabetes work in people who have just been told they have the disease, but there is evidence that taking on exercise seems to be one way of improving blood sugar levels, according to the findings of a Cochrane Systematic Review.

Study finds consensus: Exercise helps people with diabetes
06-14-2007 · EurekAlert!
Diabetes is often called a lifestyle disease, and now a new study from the University of Missouri-Columbia verifies that a lifestyle change brings strong improvements. People with diabetes who attended classes to help them increase their exercise had more significant improvements than people who focused on trying to change exercise, diet modification and medication at the same time.

Sex, sugar and metabolic disease
11-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
Overweight children and adults have low blood levels of the protein SHGB, which transports sex steroids and regulates their tissue entry. Low levels of SHGB are a marker of the metabolic syndrome, a medical disorder that increases an individual's risk of developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease. New research in mice and in vitro using human cells provides an explanation as to why low SHGB levels are a good marker of the metabolic syndrome.

UMass Medical School study finds patients diagnosed with coronary heart disease continue poor diets
01-30-2008 · EurekAlert!
More than 13 million Americans have survived a heart attack or have been diagnosed with coronary heart disease, the number one cause of death in the United States. In addition to medications, lifestyle changes, such as a healthy diet and exercise, are known to reduce the risk for subsequent cardiac events. Despite this evidence, a high proportion of heart attack survivors do not follow their doctor's advice to adhere to a healthy diet.

Glucose levels trigger compensation for type 2 diabetics
01-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
Many individuals with type 2 diabetes are diabetic because their body no longer responds to the hormone insulin. Before they become clinically diabetic their body tries to compensate for the lack of insulin responsiveness by increasing the mass of insulin-secreting cells (beta cells) in the pancreas. A new study shows that in mice with high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance, changes in glucose concentration are likely to be the main trigger of increased beta-cell mass.

Researchers discover master metabolism regulator with profound effect on fat metabolism
02-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers have discovered an enzyme that has an unexpectedly profound impact on fat metabolism. The enzyme is a master regulator that controls metabolic responses to a deficiency of essential amino acids in the diet. The research could lead to treatments for obesity and malnutrition and to preventions for type 2 diabetes and heart attacks.
