Pioglitazone greatly decreases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, especially for those who already have prediabetes and/or who have had strokes, according to a study presented at the American Diabetes Association’s 76th Scientific Sessions® at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans.   The Insulin Resistance Intervention after Stroke trial (IRIS)[1]

People with type 2 diabetes who intensively controlled their blood sugar level during the landmark Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) Trial Eye Study were found to have cut their risk of diabetic retinopathy in half in a follow-up analysis conducted four years after stopping intensive therapy. Investigators

New Orleans, LA /PRNewswire/ – Abbott (NYSE: ABT) today announced the results of the IMPACT clinical trial, which demonstrated that the FreeStyle® Libre system met its primary endpoint of a reduction in time spent in hypoglycemia (low glucose levels, defined as <70 mg/dL1) for people with type 1 diabetes. People in

Use of a biohormonal, bionic pancreas in the home setting can safely and effectively lower mean blood glucose levels and hypoglycemia (low blood glucose), compared to the use of an insulin pump, in adults with type 1 diabetes performing normal daily activities, according to a study presented at the Association’s

The first-ever study to examine use of a closed-loop insulin-delivery system — the so-called “artificial pancreas” — in an outpatient home setting in pregnant womenwith type 1 diabetes has shown some success, reducing hyperglycemia on the order of 25%. While there is increasing use of this “closed-loop” approach — which employs

People with diabetes know very well that food plays a big part in their blood sugar control.  Carbohydrates (CHOs) have the greatest effect on the blood sugars, and it is for that reason we pay close attention to these when managing diabetes.  Carbohydrates are the primary source of fuel for

The biggest challenge most families have in managing diabetes is dealing with the blood glucose numbers!

Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 30, Schuh received an islet cell transplant at the Diabetes Research Institute (DRI), and has been living free from insulin injections for

Abstract Aims To report contemporary regression rates from impaired glucose regulation to normal glucose tolerance, identify modifiable factors associated with early regression, and establish whether it affects subsequent diabetes risk in a population-based cohort. Methods Participants with impaired glucose regulation (impaired fasting glucose and/or impaired glucose tolerance on a 75-g
