London, Dec 9 : Performing short cycle sprints three times a week could be enough to prevent and possibly treat a common form of diabetes, a new study has claimed.

Type 2 diabetes occurs when blood sugar levels build up to dangerously high levels due to reduced insulin function, often caused by a sedentary lifestyle.

London, Nov 29 : Consuming a low-calorie diet daily for four months can cure Type 2 diabetes, a new study has revealed.

People who cut down on their calories intake had a far more significant improvement in the condition and in their general health than the medication offered.

London, Oct 13 : Artificially activating a key molecular pathway responsible for the natural decrease in the proliferation of insulin-producing cells that occurs as a person ages could one day lead to a new way to combat diabetes, say researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine.

London, Aug 15 : Scientists have linked high-fat diets to a sequence of molecular events responsible for the onset and severity of diabetes.

Washington, April 15 : A new research from Loma Linda University has suggested that vegetarians experience a 36 percent lower prevalence of metabolic syndrome than non-vegetarians.

Metabolic syndrome is a precursor to heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. And the findings indicated that vegetarians might be at lower risk of developing these conditions.

Washington, Mar 30 : Weight loss surgery can effectively treat diabetes in obese people, according to the medical fraternity.

A new position statement from the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) says that bariatric surgery should be considered earlier as a cost-effective treatment option for severely obese people with type 2 diabetes.

Washington, Feb 17 : You might curse your genes for being really short but not anymore, thanks to a study, which suggests that lack of growth hormone activity may protect abnormally short people from cancer and diabetes.

Washington, Jan 28 : A new study has found that older patients with diabetes who are not dealing well with the disease are likely to have symptoms of depression, and their spouses also suffer distress related to the disease and its management.

Washington, Jan 22 : A new study from Lund University Diabetes Centre attempts to find out why some diabetics never develop severe or fatal complications.

Washington, Jan 14 : Numerous studies have shown that coffee protects against type 2 diabetes. Yet no one has really understood why.

Now, researchers at UCLA have discovered a possible molecular mechanism behind coffee''s protective effect.
