In a groundbreaking discovery, a team of researchers from Queen’s University Belfast has successfully grown a mini version of human blood vessels from people with diabetes, in the lab. This breakthrough advances research of the disease by providing a new way for scientists to study how diabetes impacts blood vessels, potentially leading to the development […]

Patients with gestational diabetes show different disease progressions and therefore require personalised treatment measures. An international research team led by MedUni Vienna has now identified three subgroups of the disease with different treatment needs. The results of the study, recently published in the prestigious journal “Diabetologia”, could improve our understanding of gestational diabetes and significantly […]

Few newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics succeed in losing weight – weight gain linked to much higher risk of complications. A register-based study from Finland identified three distinct BMI trajectory groups among patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. In a four-year follow-up, most patients followed a stable trajectory without much weight change. Only 10% […]
New findings from a three-year observational extension of the landmark Diabetes Remission Clinical Trial DiRECT reveal that, for those in remission from type 2 diabetes at the end of year two of the original study, 26% still remained in remission at year five. The overall remission rate was 13% of those with data at 5 […]
