Microalbuminuria, for which hypertension and diabetes are well-known risk factors, has recently been used to detect individuals at risk for cardiovascular and chronic kidney diseases in the general ...

In diabetes, tiny clusters of insulin-producing "beta cells" in the pancreas don't produce enough of the hormone to keep people healthy, and their blood glucose levels climb. Perhaps unsurprisingly, ...

A new study finds that very few patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes are able to achieve normal blood glucose levels through weight loss alone. A team led by Andrea Luk of the Chinese University of ...

In diabetes, tiny clusters of insulin-producing 'beta cells' in the pancreas don't produce enough of the hormone to keep people healthy, and their blood glucose levels climb. Perhaps unsurprisingly, ...

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease in which the immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, resulting in high blood levels of glucose. A study published January ...

Among all participants, those with blood glucose levels below 162 mg/dL one hour post-glucose load (shown in blue) had a higher survival rate. It is well known that preventing the onset of diabetes ...

This study provides a wealth of new data showing how beta cells behave at slightly raised levels of blood glucose -- still within the pre-diabetes range. The work provides major additional evidence of ...
