Type 1 diabetes mellitus is characterized by loss of the insulin-producing beta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas leading to a deficiency of insulin. The majority of type 1 diabet

Lifestyle modification using low-carbohydrate diet interventions are effective for improving obesity and type 2 diabetes, and may play an important role in reversing the current epidemic of ‘diabesity. While the effect was stronger than medication, the intensive lifestyle group developed diabetes at a rate of 20% after 4 years. The interaction between diabetes and coronary disease is intricate and still needs to be elucidated and focused by both clinicians and basic researchers. Future research should include the use of lower-carbohydrate diets for the treatment and prevention of type 2 diabetes.
A previous observational study suggested that exercise has  Read more... (481 words, 1 image, estimated 1:55 mins reading time)

Type 1 diabetes mellitus is characterized by loss of the insulin-producing beta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas leading to a deficiency of insulin. Type 1: Results from the body’s failure to produce insulin. Most affected people are othe

Clinical studies that have lowered the percentage of dietary carbohydrate and/or the glycerin index of the carbohydrate have consistently shown improvements in glycerin control among individuals with type 2 diabetes [4-8]. The increased concentrations of TNF-a and IL-6, associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes, might interfere with insulin action by suppressing insulin signal transduction, which in turn might promote inflammation. Because this effect occurs immediately upon implementing the dietary changes, individuals with type 2 diabetes who are unable to adjust their own medication or self-monitor their blood glucose should not make these dietary changes unless under close  Read more...
