I first posted this in the "Latest Diabetes Medicine Research & News" forum... but posts there don't appear to show up on the home page (???). Anyway, I thought the following was a bit too "fascinating" (to be hidden away) with regard to new research into Diabetes, hence I posted here also...

Recently read/watched material on Medscape on... "Fascinating Discoveries in Type 2 Diabetes"... & possibly Type 1 also (see 7:55 of video - i.e. interesting research on the conversion of pancreatic alpha cells to beta cells).

Fascinating research indeed!

Can you copy the article please Matt?
-
Would you like me to copy (& paste) the whole dialogue on this thread Mark?
Would this be OK to do so? [just wanting to make sure from academic sharing perspective]
You can't login to Medscape Mark?
*** Happy to do so Mark - if appropriate... just that there are some legalist types on this forum who may see a problem with it. Not too sure on the boundaries of such i.e. think I read somewhere (on this forum) that there is a certain % allowed to be copied (with reference) - yet I could have my wires crossed on this one. -
I can't get medscape Matt - if there are publishing issues can you send by PM or email?
-
Just in case there are any legal issues for such on a public forum, I will send you an email.
However, just for the record Mark, when I did attempt to send you an email via this forum the following message comes up...

Did the PM get through?
-
I would be very interested in this study as well Matthew. Will send you a pm, thank you

Thanks Matt - very interesting.

Another development in Diabetes management that may be of interest...
- Inhaled Insulin: What to Tell Patients (link):
Also from Medscape, hence you will need to login.
Some points of interest:
-
In relation to the above post on Inhaled Insulin, more info on Afrezza®... which has recently been approved by the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA)...
Is Inhaled Insulin a 'Game Changer'?
Also from Medscape, hence you will need to login.
But, there are other alternatives which could have far greater holistic benefits... I am a strong believer in positive/healthy lifestyle choices (i.e. plant based diet & regular exercise) when it comes to Type 2 management... certainly in prevention (particularly if there is a family history) & also in reversing Type 2 Diabetes... "genes are not destiny"...
I highly respect the views of Dr Neal Barnard & his work/research i.e. ...
I sometimes wonder whether the medication of lifestyle related diseases (i.e. Type 2 Diabetes, heart disease) contributes to making us humans more complacent (& ignorant) on the potential far greater benefits of more optimal healthy lifestyle choices - yes, I know... requires effort (generating a sweat), change in dietary desires (eradicating processed foods & animal products) & thus travelling beyond one's comfort zone (which was the likely cause of the problems in the first place). Controversial & hard to stomach for some... but the science is proving the case time & time again.Last edited by a moderator: Sep 22, 2016 -
This is an interesting study... something out from left field (I initially thought :confused:):
Being Short May Be Linked With a Higher Diabetes Risk in Men:
