Research carried out at the Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry (PCMD), University of Exeter, has concluded that it would be a safe and cost-effective strategy to screen people with type 2 diabetes who have not yet developed diabetic retinopathy, for the disease once every two years instead of annually. The research is supported by funding from the National Institute for Health Research Peninsula Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care (NIHR PenCLAHRC). It is published today (00:01hrs BST Monday 7th May 2012) on-line in Diabetes Care. Diabetic retinopathy is a common complication of diabetes. It occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the cells in the retina and, if not treated, can lead to blindness. In all but some cases diabetic retinopathy has a typically slow rate of progression and can take years to develop. The research team developed a model that simulated the progression of retinopathy in type 2 diabetes and related screening, in order to predict the rates of retinopathy-related sight loss. 

Ignacio Guerrero is probably the only person who would describe his left foot as “normal.” For starters, the foot is fake. The left foot he was born with was amputated six years ago as a result of complications from diabetes. But the fake foot isn’t even a normal prosthetic – it is the most advanced in the country, according to Guerrero’s Topeka prosthetist. Four weeks ago, the Topekan became the first person in Kansas to receive it. Describing the high-technology foot involves such words as “microprocessor-controlled,” “hydraulic” and “simultaneous adjustments.” It even has a name – élan, a French word meaning “vigorous spirit or enthusiasm.”

Latinos are twice as likely to get diabetes than Caucasians, a reality that plays out in the Pajaro Valley every day. About 18,000 people in Watsonville, Freedom, Pajaro and Aromas are diabetic, according to the Pajaro Valley Community Health Trust, which operates the Diabetes Health Center adjacent to Watsonville Community Hospital as is a member of the Regional Diabetes Collective. “Diabetes is such a huge health challenge,” said Kathleen King, Chief Executive Officer of the Health Trust. Friday afternoon, the diabetes collective will host the ninth annual Regional Diabetes Health Fair during the Farmers Market in Watsonville’s City Plaza. From 3-5:30 p.m., people can get free blood glucose screenings, cholesterol screenings, blood pressure, vision and dental screenings. There also will be information booths, activities for kids and lots of prizes.

Treatment of diabetic mice with cyanidin-3-O-I2-D-glucopyranoside extracted from mulberry fruit improves erectile function compared with diabetic mice that did not receive the treatment. The corporal tissues of the treated mice showed increased expression of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and

Nearly half of all diabetics suffer from neuropathic pain, an intractable, agonizing and still mysterious companion of the disease. Now researchers have identified an unexpected source of the pain and a potential target to alleviate it.

It provides the raw material for liquorice candy, calms the stomach and alleviates diseases of the airways: liquorice root. Chosen as the “Medicinal plant 2012,” the root has been treasured in traditional healing since ancient times. Researchers have now discovered that liquorice root also contains substances with an anti-diabetic effect.

Scientists have discovered why diabetic-like symptoms develop in some patients given rapamycin, an immune-suppressant drug that also has shown anti-cancer activity and may even slow aging.
