KEYWORDS: diabetes research insulin research colon cancer research insulin intolerance excessive insulin and cancer medical study fat cells risks of obesity gastrointestinal cancer prevention aspirin might protect against cancer insulin interaction
Doctors have long known that obesity, inactivity and starchy diets increase the risk of diabetes.
Now, a growing number of scientists suspect that the same risk factors contribute to colon cancer.
What links two such different diseases? Evidence increasingly points to excess insulin.

Never mind the summer solstice, June 21st this year, official First Day
of Summer and longest day of the year. Many people think of Memorial
Day as the start of summer and the summer travel season.
No doubt you've already started to plan your summer trips-vacations,
summer camp for the kids, that visit to Grandma's house..... But what
do you need to do, and what should you pack, when you're traveling with
diabetes? These days with tighter security, you'll want to remember a
note from your child's doctor, but what else?
Here are some general tips on how to care for your child's diabetes when you are away from home.

| Diseases ->Diabetes: Mutated gene cause of diabetes in newborn babies |
|
Young children with insulin-dependent diabetes could soon be given tablets instead of injections to control their condition.
A team of international scientists has discovered that a mutation in a single gene is a common cause of diabetes in newborn babies.
They have also found that a group of drugs, called sulphonylureas, can help these children to produce insulin.

KEYWORDS: diabetes research stem cells embryonic stem cells biology of the pancreas adult stem cells beta cells cells that make insulin
AUTHOR: Gareth Cook, Globe Staff
Harvard scientists declared yesterday that a basic assumption about the biology of the pancreas is wrong - and that one of the most active areas of diabetes research today could be misguided.

| Diseases ->Diabetes: Researchers find potential gene link to diabetes |
KEYWORDS: diabetes gene genome project chromosome 20 predisposition to diabetes research adult onset diabetes type II diabetes
AUTHOR: Earl Lane
Two research teams have found variants in a gene that may predispose people to the most common form of diabetes, work that could lead to better understanding of the disease.
Variations were found in a gene on chromosome 20 that helps control function of liver and pancreas cells, according to Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute and senior author of one study.
Having the variation doesn't mean a person will get diabetes, Collins said at a briefing yesterday. "It's a predisposition," he said. "It's a risk factor." Those with the variation appear to have about a 30 percent higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes, Collins said.

| Diseases ->Diabetes: Do genetics affect my chances of developing diabetes? |
|
You´ve probably wondered how you got diabetes. You may worry that your children will get it too. Unlike some traits, diabetes does not seem to be inherited in a simple pattern. Yet clearly, some people are born more likely to get diabetes than others.

| Diseases ->Diabetes: Soy Protein Benefits Adult-Onset Diabetics |
KEYWORDS: soy protein supplement natural treatments for high cholestral adult onset diabetes adult-onset diabetics supplements for diabetics lower cholestral heart disease lowering cholestral natural supplements
AUTHOR: Darin Ingels, ND
People with adult-onset diabetes (also called type 2 or non-insulin-dependent diabetes) and decreased kidney function who consume soy protein on a regular basis may see improvements in their kidney function and cholesterol levels, according to a preliminary study in European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2003;57:1292?4).
Reductions in cholesterol levels may reduce the risk of heart disease, a common complication in people with diabetes. Adult-onset diabetes has become a worldwide epidemic affecting more than 16 million people in the United States and 135 million people around the world.
