While an estimated 17.9 million in the US alone have been diagnosed with diabetes, nearly one in four (5.7 million) diabetics are unaware that they have the disease.

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]. Finally, results of the population study from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition Potsdam indicated a significant interaction between plasma IL-1߬ IL-6 and type II diabetes development. Observational clinical studies have shown that patients with diabetes have less favorable results after percutaneous coronary intervention compared with the non-diabetic counterparts, but its mechanism remains unclear. The increased concentrations of TNF-a and IL-6, associated with obesity and  Read more... (473 words, 1 image, estimated 1:54 mins reading time)

The most common of these is diabetes insipidus in which the urine is not sweet (insipidus meaning “without taste” in Latin); it can be caused either by kidney (nephrogenic DI) or pituitary gland (central DI) damage. This causes glucose to accumulate in th

The present study is the first one to our knowledge to show that diabetes is a risk factor for mortality after hospitalization for an acute exacerbation of COPD. Finally, results of the population study from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition Potsdam indicated a significant interaction between plasma IL-1߬ IL-6 and type II diabetes development. 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]. AUSTRALIAN scientists have uncovered a key clue in the mystery  Read more... (487 words, 2 images, estimated 1:57 mins reading time)

The underlying principle of carbohydrate-restriction and the historic precedents of using the low-carbohydrate diet for type 2 diabetes suggest that the low-carbohydrate approach may be one of the most effective dietary treatments for diabetes. The effect of a low-carbohydrate, photogenic diet versus a low-glycemic index diet on glycerin control in type 2 diabetes melts This observation led to the use of diets low in carbohydrate for the treatment of diabetes before insulin or other medication therapies were available [2]. Finally, results of the population study from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition Potsdam indicated a significant  Read more...

Sensitivity and responsiveness to insulin are usually normal, especially in the early stages. While an estimated 17.9 million in the US alone have been diagnosed with diabetes, nearly one in four (5.7 million) diabetics are unaware that they have the disease. Various sources have defined “type 3 diabetes” as, among others, gestational diabetes, insulin-resistant type 1 diabetes (or “double diabetes”), type 2 diabetes which has progressed to require injected insulin, and latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (or LADA or “type 1.5″ diabetes.
