A Type 1 Diabetes Lifestyle Website
In one of the largest global studies of its kind, a multi-institution collaborative of researchers led by Emory University found that onset of type 1 diabetes, once known as juvenile diabetes, is much higher among adults than previously believed. The investigators reviewed all published studies between 1990 and 2021 and found that there was a […]
The History of a Wonderful Thing We Call Insulin Since the dawn of time, we have searched for ways to make life easier for us. The modern age has given us some amazing technological advances—what we would do without the internet, our iPhones or high-speed travel? For many people, surviving life without these things sounds […]
Type 1 diabetes, or T1D, is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune cells — led by inflammatory macrophages — attack and destroy the beta cells of the pancreas that produce insulin. Researchers have long tried to unravel the signaling that provokes this attack. One of the less-studied forms of signaling is inflammatory lipids. […]
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) may cause severe disease in high-risk people, including the elderly, people with underlying health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes, and those with weakened immune systems. Though most children and adolescents seem to be spared by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19, a […]
Posted by Physicians Weekly | Mar 19, 2020 THURSDAY, March 19, 2020 (HealthDay News) — Antibiotic prescriptions in the first year of life are associated with an increased risk for type 1 diabetes in childhood, according to a study published online March 4 in Diabetes Care. Mona-Lisa Wernroth, from Uppsala University in Sweden, and colleagues […]
Dr George Gittes, Professor of Surgery at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh explains how and why he began working on the gene therapy licensed by Genprex (NASDAQ:GNPX). Dr Gittes says the therapy, currently undergoing pre-clinical studies, has shown data where it caused pancreatic cells to turn into insulin-producing cells.

A cohort of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes had markers of bone formation and bone resorption that were significantly decreased compared with children without diabetes, independent of diabetes duration and Tanner stages, according to findings published in Pediatric Diabetes. “The take-home message from the study is that bone turnover is altered in children […]
The FDA has approved insulin aspart injection (Fiasp, Novo Nordisk), 100 U/mL, as a new mealtime option for children with diabetes—the first fast-acting mealtime insulin injection that does not have a pre-meal dosing recommendation. Diabetes is one of the most common chronic conditions of childhood, with nearly 18,000 new cases of type-1 diabetes diagnosed each […]
Philadelphia, January, 2020–A multi-center team of researchers led by Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) has discovered a genetic signature that could help distinguish an adult-onset form of diabetes sharing many type 1 diabetes (T1D) characteristics from pediatric-onset T1D, opening the door to potentially more straightforward diagnostic tests for the adult condition and improving responses by […]
For many children with type 1 diabetes, a diagnosis only comes after they find themselves hospitalized in life-threatening diabetic ketoacidosis. Researchers in Virginia hope to change that. Scientists at the Center for Public Health Genomics at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville have developed a test that they think may be able to predict the […]
