Two distinct subtypes of insulin-producing beta cells identified

A team led by Van Andel Institute and Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics scientists has identified two distinct subtypes of insulin-producing beta cells, or ß cells, each with crucial characteristics that may be leveraged to better understand and treat Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Metformin may reduce the risk of osteoarthritis

In a recent study published in JAMA Network Open, researchers in the United States (US) determined the risk of osteoarthritis (OA) and joint replacement among adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) following metformin or sulfonylurea treatment.

Self-management support tool strengthens mental health in adults living with type 1 diabetes

International researchers -from the Netherlands, Germany, United Kingdom, and Spain- work together to develop an app that improves physical and emotional well-being in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D).

SARS-CoV-2 not likely to increase the incidence of type 1 diabetes in children

More children and adolescents than usual developed type 1 diabetes in Finland in the first 18 months of the coronavirus pandemic.

Insulin resistance increases retinopathy and nephropathy risk in young type 1 diabetics

A study published in the journal Cardiovascular Diabetology describes the relationship between estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) and retinopathy or kidney disease in young adults with type 1 diabetes.

Artificial pancreas technology improves blood glucose control in young children with type 1 diabetes

Artificial pancreas technology improved blood glucose control in young children between ages 2 and 5 with type 1 diabetes, according to the results of the Pediatric Artificial Pancreas (PEDAP) Trial, a 13-week randomized controlled trial conducted at three pediatric diabetes centers across the United States.

Study suggests mRNA vaccines decouple SARS-CoV-2 immunity from autoantibody responses observed during acute COVID-19

Researchers investigated whether mRNA technology-based COVID-19 vaccines promote the development of autoantibodies.

14 Mar 2023

Insulin deficiency leads to reduced pancreas size in type 1 diabetes

Individuals with Type 1 diabetes have a smaller pancreas than people without diabetes. This is surprising because insulin-producing beta cells account for just a small fraction of the pancreas, so the loss of beta cells in Type 1 diabetes would not be expected to reduce pancreas size.

Analysis reveals an increasing trend in incidence of youth-onset type 1 and type 2 diabetes

New findings from researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine confirm that the rates of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes continue to increase in children and young adults. Non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic children and young adults also had higher incidence rates of diabetes.

6 Mar 2023

Promising alternative strategy for islet transplantation in people with type 1 diabetes

In people with type 1 diabetes, the body's immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing β cells that control blood glucose levels and are part of a group of cells in the pancreas called pancreatic islets.

Clinical study reveals new use for high blood pressure drug in pediatric patients

A clinical study conducted by Indiana University School of Medicine researchers revealed that oral verapamil, a readily available and commonly used drug to treat high blood pressure and heart conditions, can also improve the pancreas' insulin secretion in children with newly-diagnosed type 1 diabetes (T1D).
