Bump up the incline: High-intensity workouts may fight diabetes

Canadian researchers found improvements in managing blood sugar only occurred with higher intensity workouts, according to the study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

“The ability to manage blood sugar is a direct consequence of a couple of things, including the ability of the muscles to take glucose out of the blood and store it for use as fuel,” said the study’s lead author, Robert Ross, a professor in the school of kinesiology and health studies at Queens University in Ontario. “As we become sedentary, our muscles become sedentary, too, and we can become insulin resistant.”

As time goes on, that insulin resistance can turn into full-blown diabetes, Ross said.

Harvard University has produced the vast quantities of insulin-producing cells needed for transplants

A cure for diabetes could be imminent after scientists discovered how to make huge quantities of insulin-producing cells, in a breakthrough hailed as significant as antibiotics.

Harvard University has, for the first time, managed to manufacture the millions of beta cells required for transplantation.

It could mean the end of daily insulin injections for the 400,000 people in Britain living with Type 1 diabetes.

‘Alarming’ Rise: 29 Million Americans With Diabetes

More than 29 million American adults have diabetes, and a quarter of them don’t even know it, a new report shows.

That’s up from 26 million in 2010, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says, and represents more than 9 percent of the population.

And another 86 million — a third of the adult population — are headed down the road to diabetes, with blood sugar levels high enough to mark them as pre-diabetic.

The power of tears: Why Google has its eye on smart contact lenses

When the cronut craze swept across New York in early spring of last year, the only major inconvenience associated with Dominique Ansel’s novel culinary confection was the pain of waiting in line to get it. For a responsible person living with Type 1 (or Type 2) diabetes, like my good friend Cara, that wait time for a hip baked good would’ve been compounded by a few more irritating factors.

First, there’d be a necessary finger prick test (administered in the open by an always on-hand glucometer) to measure blood sugar levels an hour before eating. Then, a guesstimate would need to be calculated of just how many carbs that precious SoHo sweet contained, followed by an adjustment of insulin delivery levels on a waist-worn pump. And, finally, a follow-up finger prick test would need to be done two hours after eating the cronut to once again establish a necessary insulin base line. That is true inconvenience. That is life with diabetes. And as you might imagine, not all diabetics are this disciplined. But Google wants to change that… with contact lenses.

As a practicing electrophysiologist, or heart rhythm specialist, I see daily the effects of heart rhythm disorders.  Unfortunately, electrical problems of the heart are common and are on the rise in our community.  They can present with symptoms that vary broadly from palpitations to sudden death.  The most common heart rhythm problems are often the results of risk factors that we can control or treat such as obesity, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, inactivity, diabetes, and smoking.  These and other risk factors can injure the heart from events such as a heart attack or narrowing of the coronary arteries.  All degrees of injury in turn result in stiffening or weakening of the heart’s pumping chambers (ventricles) and enlargement of the small upper chambers of the heart (atrium).  These injuries in all chambers of the heart leave scar and fibrosis and can cause disruptions to the normal electrical conduction of the heart and electrical disorders develop.

Bad sleep ‘dramatically’ alters body

5 Comments

The activity of hundreds of genes was altered when people’s sleep was cut to less than six hours a day for a week.

Writing in the journal PNAS, the researchers said the results helped explain how poor sleep damaged health.

Heart disease, diabetes, obesity and poor brain function have all been linked to substandard sleep.

What missing hours in bed actually does to alter health, however, is unknown.

So researchers at the University of Surrey analysed the blood of 26 people after they had had plenty of sleep, up to 10 hours each night for a week, and compared the results with samples after a week of fewer than six hours a night.

Keeping your kidneys healthy could be one of the best ways to extend your life if you have Type 2 diabetes, researchers have suggested.

The University of Washington study found that having kidney disease meant a much higher risk of early death.

UK experts say that the NHS is still not putting enough effort into detecting and controlling kidney problems caused by diabetes.
