No Need to Treat Asymptomatic Bacteriuria in Women with Diabetes

Asymptomatic bacteriuria in women with diabetes doesn’t affect renal function or blood pressure.

Can We Cure Diabetes?

Islet cell transplantation has come a long way but has further to go.

ACE Inhibition for Preventing Diabetes: Still Just a DREAM

Ramipril fell short in a large, randomized, placebo-controlled trial.

Rosiglitazone Tested for Diabetes Prevention

Despite some advantages of the drug over placebo, lifestyle changes should remain the gold standard for prevention of type 2 diabetes.

A Wake-Up Call About Medication Nonadherence

Studies documented remarkable associations between medication nonadherence and increased mortality risk.

Diabetes and Heart Disease in Men Who Receive Androgen-Deprivation Therapy

Androgen-deprivation therapy is associated with risk for diabetes, heart disease, and osteoporosis, according to a large observational study.

Rosiglitazone, but Not Ramipril, Prevents Progression to Diabetes in Patients at Risk

The effect of rosiglitazone is similar to that reported for lifestyle changes.

Preventing Progression from Impaired Glucose Tolerance to Diabetes

Overweight patients with impaired glucose tolerance lowered their absolute 3-year risk for diabetes from about 35% to 15% by losing 5 kg.

Blood Glucose Variability and Mortality in Critically Ill Patients

An observational study suggests that blood glucose variability predicts ICU mortality about as accurately as absolute glucose levels do.

Is Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose Helpful in Type 2 Diabetes?

This practice does not appear to improve glycemic control for non–insulin-treated patients.

Can Psychological Interventions Improve Glycemic Control in Type 1 Diabetes?

Cognitive behavioral therapy techniques are modestly effective in children and adolescents with diabetes.

Early Onset of Type 2 Diabetes and End-Stage Renal Disease

Patients with youth-onset diabetes were more likely than those with older-onset diabetes to develop end-stage renal disease.

Does Atorvastatin Prevent Cardiovascular Events Among Diabetics?

In this randomized trial, the formal answer was no, but several aspects of the study might have blunted its ability to show a significant benefit for atorvastatin.

Pass the Yogurt, Please

Risk for diabetes decreased as dairy consumption increased.

Mediterranean vs. Low-Fat Diet

These two types of diets were compared in a short-term trial involving asymptomatic patients at high risk for cardiovascular disease.

As a Cardiac Risk Factor, Is Diabetes Always a Coronary Equivalent?

Having diabetes appears to be roughly equivalent to aging 15 years.

Inhaled Insulin vs. Metformin for Type 2 Diabetes

Inhaled insulin is a new option for type 2 diabetic patients with poor glycemic control on oral monotherapy.

Drink Coffee, Prevent Diabetes?

Decaffeinated coffee consumption was associated with reduced incidence of diabetes in women.

Inflammatory Cytokines and the Metabolic Syndrome: Animal Clues

New directions for studying a syndrome of relevance to psychiatric patients

Diabetic Nerve Vulnerability to Ischemia

Diabetic nerve appears to be vulnerable to a much shorter period of ischemia than nondiabetic nerve.

Retinol-Binding Protein: A Molecule That Predicts Insulin Resistance and Type 2 Diabetes

RBP4 level was a better predictor than were levels of adipokines, cytokines, or markers of inflammation.

Aggressive Lipid Lowering Is Especially Helpful in Diabetics

For secondary prevention, absolute risk was reduced significantly more in diabetic patients than in nondiabetic patients.

Exercise Benefits Young Patients with Type 1 Diabetes

Regular physical activity improves glycemic control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes without raising their risk for severe hypoglycemia.

Smoking and Development of Diabetes

Even second-hand smoke is associated with development of glucose intolerance.

Risk Factors for Plantar Ulcers in Patients with Diabetes

Insulin use and poor vision are among the factors that predict which patients with type 2 diabetes will develop foot ulcers.
