#Community approach effective in fight against diabetesnew research from Wake Forest Baptist Medical center shows that a diabetes prevention program led by community health workers is effective at reducing blood glucose
and potentially reducing diabetes over the long term. This is the largest program to successfully replicate the results achieved by the Diabetes Prevention Project (DPP) a research study led by the National institutes of health
and supported by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention which demonstrated several years ago that lifestyle weight-loss interventions can reduce the incidence of diabetes by 58 percent.
The study is published in the March 18 issue of the American Journal of Preventive medicine. We wanted to take this intervention out to people in the community rather than having them have to come to us in a clinical setting said the study's lead author Jeff Katula Ph d. assistant professor of health and exercise sciences at Wake Forest University and joint

#Exposure to pesticides in food, air and water increases risk of type 2 diabetes, study findsa study led by the University of Granada reveals that there is a direct relationship between the presence of Persistent Organic Pollutants
in the body and the development of type 2 diabetes regardless of the patient's age gender or body mass index.
A study conducted at the University of Granada has revealed that there is a direct relationship between exposure to pesticides (Persistent Organic Pollutants CPOS) in food air and water and prevalence of type 2 diabetes in adults regardless
and they might be one of the reasons why obese people are more likely to develop diabetes since the more fat the higher the COP concentrations in the body.
In a paper recently published in the journal Environmental Research researchers demonstrate that people with higher concentrations of DDE-the main metabolite in the pesticide DDT-are four times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than other people.
In addition the risk of type 2 diabetes is associated also with exposure to Î-HCH (beta-Hexachlorocyclohexane)
According to professor Arrebola the mechanism of action by which COPS increases the risk of diabetes is still unknown.
The prevalence of diabetes in the world has increased significantly in the last decades. It is estimated that by 2030 4. 4%of the world population have this metabolic disorder.
The factors causing such increase in the prevalence of diabetes are not still clearly understood.

which the body converts to a close cousin of Vitamin a may lower the risk for the most common form of diabetes
The scientists used a big data approach to hunt down interactions between gene variants previously associated with increased risk for type-2 diabetes
and blood levels of substances previously implicated in type-2 diabetes risk. In people carrying a double dose of one such predisposing gene variant the researchers pinpointed a highly statistically significant inverse association of beta carotene blood levels with type-2 diabetes risk along with a suspiciously high positive association of gamma
tocopherol with risk for the disease. Type-2 diabetes affects about 15 percent of the world's population
and the numbers are increasing said Atul Butte MD Phd associate professor of systems medicine in pediatrics.
Moreover the fact that both beta carotene and gamma tocopherol interact with the same gene variant to influence diabetes risk
This in turn triggers the release of insulin whose adequate secretion by the pancreas and efficient uptake in muscle liver and fat tissue counters the dangerous buildup of glucose in the blood and in the long run the onset of type-2 diabetes.
The genomes of some 50 to 60 percent of the U s. population carry two copies of that very gene variant which previous studies have shown to confer a slightly increased risk of contracting type-2 diabetes.
This variant was one of 18 each found by other researchers to have a mild association with type-2 diabetes risk that the Butte team incorporated into its analysis. These gene/disease connections had been identified via so-called genome-wide association studies
While plenty of genetic risk factors for type-2 diabetes have been found said Butte none of them taken alone
and not even all of them taken together comes close to accounting for the prevalence of type-2 diabetes.
or without high blood-glucose levels--a defining marker of type-2 diabetes--in pursuit of differences between the two groups'exposures to myriad environmental substances.
This enabled the researchers to perform a novel study pairing each of the 18 type-2-diabetes-implicated gene variants with each of the five suspect environmental substances to see how for individuals carrying a particular gene variant
None of the genetic factors studied in isolation had shown a particularly impressive impact on type-2 diabetes risk.
This vitamin was already known as being'good'with respect to type-2 diabetes so it was no surprise that we saw it too said Butte
or accelerating the onset of type-2 diabetes. It also may throw light on precisely how these substances affect the production or performance of the protein for which the implicated gene codes.

It's clear that poor nutrition has a major role in some of the leading American health problems including diabetes and heart disease.
An unhealthy diet is linked closely to cardiovascular disease diabetes and some cancers. Eating a healthy diet is an important part of the strategy to prevent adverse health outcomes.

and dietary patterns that are beneficial in preventing and controlling diabetes. The findings were published June 7 2014 in Lancet.
because we believe that most of the current dietary guidelines for patients with diabetes do not reflect recent evidence.
and control diabetes in a very effective way says Osama Hamdy M d. Ph d. Medical Director of Joslin's Obesity Clinical Program and Assistant professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical school.
With the global epidemic of type 2 diabetes it's critical to invest in effective diabetes prevention
An unhealthy diet has long been considered a major contributor to the development of diabetes but only in the past two decades has this role been confirmed by prospective observational studies and clinical trials.
and dietary patterns can help prevent type 2 diabetes even without weight loss. People who eat a Mediterranean diet with foods such as olive oil whole grains
and leafy vegetables and fruits have a lower risk of developing diabetes even when they don't lose weight Dr. Hamdy says.
Foods such as oat cereal yogurt and dairy products green leafy vegetables grapes apples blueberries and walnuts were associated with reduced diabetes risk.
Drinking coffee and even decaffeinated coffee were associated also with lower type 2 diabetes risk. Participants who followed a Mediterranean eating plan--without restricting calories--showed a greater improvement in glycemic control
In addition overweight patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes who followed the Mediterranean diet had need less for antihyperglycemic medications compared with participants on a low-fat diet.
and high-protein diets improved glycemic control and cardiovascular disease risk factors in patients with diabetes compared with control diets.
This offers patients a range of options for diabetes management. Foods associated with a higher risk of diabetes include red and processed meat sugar-sweetened beverages alcohol in excess quantities and refined grains such as white flour.
Recent studies of fat intake and diabetes incidence support the notion that eating the right kind of fats is beneficial to health.
This goes against years of advocacy of a low-fat/high-carbohydrate diet. When people started eating less fat they compensated by eating more refined carbohydrates
and type 2 diabetes Dr. Hamdy says. Current evidence shows that some fats such as those from red and processed meats are associated with higher cardiovascular risk

and significantly reduced their diabetes medications by more than 50 percent. The program's nutritional guidelines have been adopted by many institutes and organizations across the globe.
Now that we have clear evidence we are striving to educate the American public about what foods to eat to prevent diabetes
Since almost all knowledge of dietary prevention and management of diabetes comes from research in developed countries more studies are needed in less developed regions to help patients with diabetes worldwide improve their health.

#Infant nutrition, development of type 1 diabetes: Is it possible to prevent the illness by splitting the proteins of cows milk?
Splitting the cow's milk proteins in a formula doesn't prevent the start-up of the disease process of type 1 diabetes in predisposed children shows a large international study.
Previous studies have indicated that early exposure to complex foreign proteins such as cow's milk proteins increases the risk of type 1 diabetes in predisposed individuals.
Therefore In 2002 we embarked on a large-scale study on more than 2100 infants with a family member affected by type 1 diabetes
whether delaying the exposure to complex foreign proteins will decrease the risk of diabetes tells Professor Mikael Knip from the University of Helsinki the leader of the TRIGR Study.
The first study endpoint was positivity for at least two diabetes-associated autoantibodies by the age of six years.
However the disease process resulting in clinical diabetes has clearly two phases the first being the appearance of autoantibodies and the other the progression from autoantibody positivity to clinical disease.
There is a growing body of research demonstrating associations between obesity diabetes and cancer risk said lead author Jennifer A. Emond an instructor in the Department of Community and Family Medicine at the Geisel School of medicine at Dartmouth College.
It can also give rise to hypothyroidism since selenium is required a chemical in the production of thyroid hormone.

mitigating genetic risk for diabetesas the number of people with type 2 diabetes continues to rise
A new study finds that African american children with a genetic predisposition to diabetes may be able to reduce their risk by getting the USDA-recommended dose of calcium.
Even though life expectancy for people with diabetes has gone up the disease has a significant impact on quality of life
so finding ways to prevent people from developing diabetes is said critical Laura Tosi M d. director of the bone health program at Children's National Medical center and one of the study's lead investigators.
