Published 28 August 2012 Using a new method, diabetes researchers at Lund University, Sweden, have been able to reveal more of the genetic complexity behind type 2 diabetes. The new research findings have been achieved as a result of access to human insulin-producing cells from deceased donors and through not only studying one gene variant, but many genes and how thay influcence the level of the g

Published 24 September 2012 Could a capsule of insulin crystals a day stop the development of type 1 diabetes? There are indications that this could be the case. In the international TrialNet study, which follows relatives of individuals with type 1 diabetes, researchers are investigating whether oral insulin could prevent or delay the disease.

Published 7 November 2012 When a patient is diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, the disease has usually already progressed over several years and damage to areas such as blood vessels and eyes has already taken place. To find a test that indicates who is at risk at an early stage would be valuable, as it would enable preventive treatment to be pTextut in place. Researchers at Lund University have now

Published 20 December 2012 Researchers at Lund University, Sweden, are studying whether it is possible to prevent obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease by reducing levels of the hormone vasopressin in the blood. 
- If you dilute the blood by drinking water, the body releases less of the hormone vasopressin, which can potentially lead to diabetes, says Sofia Enhörning, a doctor who has recen

Published 12 March 2013 Type 2 diabetes has strong hereditary tendencies and the genes we are born with cannot be changed. However, new research from Lund University in Sweden shows that we can modify the function of the genes through the epigenetic changes that take place in the course of life. Epigenetic changes are usually described as a link between heredity and environment and come about as a

Published 30 April 2013 The majority of patients with type 2 diabetes who undergo a gastric bypass operation recover from the disease within a few days of the operation, long before their body weight falls. No one knows how this happens, but researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre in Sweden have now come up with a partial answer. In the long term, we aim to identify new treatment strategies

Published 22 May 2013 In recent years, researchers have discovered around 70 genetic risk variants for diabetes, but still TCF7L2, known as the diabetes gene, is the gene that carries with it the largest risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Using a new method called exon skipping, Ola Hansson at Lund University Diabetes Centre (LUDC) wants to learn more about TCF7L2 by studying new ways of delaying
