A community portal about Diabetes mellitus with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder, specifically affecting carbohydrate metabolism. It is a disease characterized by persistent hyperglycemia. It is a metabolic disease that requires medical diagnosis, treatment and lifestyle changes. The World Health Organization recognizes three main forms of diabetes: type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes , although these three "types" of diabetes are more accurately considered patterns of pancreatic failure rather than single diseases. Type 1 is generally due to autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing cells — beta cells — while type 2 and gestational diabetes are due to insulin resistance by tissues. Type 2 may progress to destruction of the insulin -producing cells of the pancreas, but is still considered Type 2, even though insulin administration may be required.

SmartCells, an MIT spinoff, has developed an injectable drug called SmartInsulin that senses high glucose levels and automatically dispenses insulin on demand.
As glucose levels drop off, the drug stabilizes, trapping insulin until the next glucose spike. Such a drug may cut down the number of insulin injections required to once a day and reduce the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), a potential hazard associated with current diabetic therapies.

This makes NovoLog® the first and only rapid-acting insulin with this extended in-use time. An insulin pump is a small, battery powered... Read Full Story
The question of whether insulin-producing cells of the pancreas can regenerate is key to our understanding of diabetes, and to the further development of regenerative therapies against the disease. Dr Rosenberg from the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) and McGill University together with Dr Bernard Massie from the Centre hospitalier de l'Universite de Montreal (CHUM) have just concluded that they can.

Hello Family, Friends, and Neighbors, On October 18th we are taking part in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's (JDRF) "Walk for a Cure" to help raise money for its effort to find a cure for juvenile (type 1) diabetes. As many of you know our seven year old daughter, Mary Kate, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in June of 2007. This disease strikes children suddenly, makes them insulin dependent for life, and carries the constant threat of devastating complications. The good... Read Full Story
Diabetes mellitus is a disease that affects the way your body produces insulin. It may be produced too much or even too little. Diabetes is affected by the factors of the environment and also your genetics. The environment factors can consist of obesity, poor choices in diet, and lack of exercise. Scientists still are working on a way to cure diabetes but they have only found a way to control them so far.by TerryStanfield Diabetes mellitus is a disease that affects the way your body [...] Read Full Story
