Cairo: Adolescents suffering from Type-1 diabetes may benefit from Vitamin B supplements as it improves kidney functions by protecting against development and progression of renal diseases, a new study has found. The findings suggest Vitamin B supplements, in addition to traditional angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor therapy may be a simple, safe and cost-effective strategy for early […]

London: Higher consumption of gluten — proteins found in wheat, rye, and barley — by women during pregnancy can significantly increase the risk of Type-1 diabetes in children, a study has claimed. The findings, led by Julie Antvorskov from the Bartholin Institute in Denmark, showed that children of women with an intake of 20g per […]

New York: A vaccine primarily used for treating tuberculosis (TB) may be effective in reducing high blood sugar among people with Type – 1 diabetes, results from a clinical trial has revealed. Type – 1 diabetes is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produce little or no insulin. The findings showed that, three years […]

London: Scientists from the University of Copenhagen have identified a mechanism that explains how some stem cells become organs such as liver and pancreas. The findings could lead scientists to generate insulin-producing cells in the laboratory to use as a therapy for Type-1 diabetes. Scientists led by Henrik Semb from the DanStem Center at the […]

New York: Type-1 diabetes may accelerate brain ageing, resulting in slower information processing even at at an younger age, says a new research. The findings indicate that clinicians should consider screening middle-aged patients with Type-1 diabetes for cognitive difficulties. “The severity of cognitive complications and cerebral small vessel disease which can starve the brain of […]

New York: Researchers have developed a novel and safe treatment for autoimmune diseases including Type-1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis (MS) that arise when the body’s immune cells attack itself. Current treatments eliminate these misfunctioning immune cells, but also destroy normal, protective immune cells, leaving patients susceptible to immune deficiency and opportunistic infections. The new approach, […]

New York: In a first, researchers have found that a treatment affecting the immune system effectively slowed the progression to clinical Type-1 diabetes in high risk individuals by two years or more. “The results have important implications for people, particularly youth, who have relatives with the disease, as these individuals may be at high risk […]

Canberra: Researchers from the University of Melbourne have found that rotavirus infection might play a role in the development of type 1 diabetes. Rotavirus remains the major cause of infantile gastroenteritis worldwide, although the advent of vaccination has substantially decreased associated mortality. Following the recent introduction of rotavirus vaccination, there has been a 15 per […]

New York: Plant-based diets rich in whole carbohydrates can improve insulin sensitivity and other health markers in individuals with type 1 diabetes, say researchers. Two case studies, published in the Journal of Diabetes & Metabolism, followed individuals with type 1 diabetes who adopted plant-based diets rich in whole carbohydrates–including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.
