Are diabetes drugs can kill? This may be the lesson of a study presented at the recent convention of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) in San Francisco. In the ACCORD study, more than 10,000 diabetic patients were randomly divided into two groups, one with intent to moderately reduce glucose levels in blood and another with intent to reduce them aggressively.
Aggressively treated patients had a much lower level of blood glucose (but still slightly above normal) than patients less medicated. After 3 years and 6 months, there were no differences between the two groups in the development of cardiovascular disease (one of the major complications of diabetes). Incredibly, those in the aggressively treated group had a 22 percent increase in risk of mortality.

A new study says that increased consumption of sweetened beverages and smoothies or fruit flavored soft drinks, may have favored the emergence of new cases of diabetes and cardiovascular disease over the last decade.
These conclusions are based on the results of a simulation model created from large epidemiological studies conducted in the U.S.. According to this model, increased consumption of sweetened beverages between 1990 and 2000 favored the appearance of 130,000 new cases of diabetes, 14,000 new cases of ischemic heart disease and 50,000 years of life with coronary heart disease over the decade .

During normal pregnancy metabolic adaptations occur, aimed at correcting the imbalance that occurs when you need a higher nutritive supply to the fetus. One of these imbalances is that the body needs more insulin delivery to require a greater use of glucose.

Obesity is not just a cosmetic problem: obesity for many years is often the cause of fat and metabolic disorders – as well as diabetes. A study of obese mice show that the interplay between hormones and proteins might be to blame.
The main cause for the development of metabolic disorders such as diabetes meilitus is a reduced response of cells to the hormone insulin. In particular, the cells in the muscles, liver and adipose tissue respond to the poor blood sugar-regulating hormone. A group of researchers from Austria has now examined more closely in this context, the interaction of insulin and fat cells.
