A test using genetics to predict who is at the highest risk of developing type 1 diabetes could one day be applied to ...

Johns Hopkins engineers are developing treatments for Type 1 diabetes that don't rely on daily insulin injections or wearing an insulin pump to manage blood sugar levels. Instead, their new cell-based ...

Scientists found that certain molecules made by gut bacteria travel to the liver and help control how the body uses energy.

A genetic predisposition to having lower insulin production and less healthy fat distribution are major causes of early-onset type 2 diabetes in British Asian people. According to research, these ...

Study highlights genetic factors driving earlier diabetes onset, reduced insulin production, and obesity patterns in South Asians. Study: Genetic basis of early onset and progression of type 2 ...

Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) 5 is a rare genetic form of diabetes caused by mutations in the hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-beta (HNF1B) gene. MODY 5 accounts for approximately 2–6% of all ...

Successfully treating type 2 diabetes may involve focusing on brain neurons, rather than simply concentrating on obesity or insulin resistance, according to a study published today in the Journal of ...
