The long-term effect of lifestyle interventions to prevent diabetes in the China Da Qing Diabetes Prevention Study: a 20-year follow-up study
...type 2 diabetes in people with impaired glucose tolerance, but how long these benefits extend beyond the period of active intervention, and whether such interventions reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality, is unclear. We aimed to assess whether intensive lifestyle interventions have a long-term effect on the risk of diabe...

Cardiovascular disease risk in type 2 diabetes mellitus: insights from mechanistic studies

Treatment of the residual risk, other than blood pressure and LDL-cholesterol control, remains important as the rate of diabetes increases worldwide. The accelerated atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease in diabetes is likely to be mult...

Diabetes care for south Asian patients: a special case
...type 2 diabetes is rising rapidly worldwide, particularly for south Asian people living in urban areas. South Asian individuals have a four-fold to six-fold greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes, contract the disease at an earlier age, and have higher rates of renal and cardiovascular complications than do other ethnic groups. Although prev...

Lifestyle intervention, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease
...type 2 diabetes was first proposed in 1921 by Elliot Joslin who wrote: “There are entirely too many diabetic patients in the country…Therefore, it is proper at the present time to devote attention not alone to treatment, but still more, as in the campaign against the typhoid fever, to prevention. The results may not be quite so striking or as im...

However, in today's Lancet Valma Harjutsalo and colleagues show that in Finland, which has the highest incidence of type 1 diabetes in the world, the incidence predicted for 2010 on the basis of data f...

Heart disease accounts for between two-thirds and three-quarters of all deaths in type 2 diabetes, and is the leading cause of death in type 1, not least because it abolishes the premenopausal protection from coronary disease enjoyed by women. 30 years ago, these effects attracted less attention: a coronary epidemic was sweep...

Intensive insulin therapy in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes
...type 2 diabetes is characterised by worsening hyperglycaemia and progressive deterioration in function of the insulin-secreting pancreatic β cells. Despite intense investigative efforts, the pathophysiological basis underlying β-cell dysfunction (and the concomitant loss of β-cell mass) remains unclear. Nevertheless, the central importance of de...

Effect of intensive insulin therapy on β-cell function and glycaemic control in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes: a multicentre randomised parallel-group trial

We did a multicentre, randomised trial to compare the effects of transient intensive insulin therapy (continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion [CSII] or multiple daily insulin injections [MDI]) with oral hypoglycaemic agents on β-cell function and diabetes...
