Study Finds Link Between Alzheimer's, Diabetes
|
|
A statistical analysis found that people with diabetes had a much higher rate of developing Alzheimer's disease than those who don't have diabetes. Age is still the greatest risk factor for developing Alzheimer's. One in 10 Americans over 65 and nearly half of those over 85 have the incurable, progressive brain disease.

Diabetes Risk May Be Associated With Elevated Iron Levels
|
|
High levels of iron in the blood may foreshadow the development of type 2 diabetes, a new study suggests. Research has shown that people with a genetic condition that causes huge elevations of iron in the blood are known to be at risk for type 2 diabetes. This study aimed to determine whether the diabetes link would hold true for healthy people with just mildly elevated levels of iron. (Diabetes Research)

LADA or Diabetes 1.5
|
|
Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA), also called slow-onset diabetes or diabetes 1.5, has similarities both to type 1 and type 2. Often it is not recognized as LADA or type 1.5, because at first it looks like and reacts positively to treatments for type 2. However, it ends up revealing itself as an autoimmune form of diabetes, more like type 1. (Type 1 Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes, Diabetes Education)

Diabetes and Colorectal Cancer
|
|
People with diabetes may be three times more likely to develop colorectal cancer, a recent study shows. Almost 10,000 adults between the ages of 45 and 79 were tested for a marker in the blood sugar, then were followed up six years later. Researchers found that those with diabetes or abnormal glucose metabolism were more likely to develop bowel cancer. (Diabetes Research)

Gastroparesis & Diabetes
|
|
Gastroparesis, also called delayed gastric emptying, is a disorder in which the stomach takes too long to empty its contents. It often occurs in people with type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes. Gastroparesis can also complicate efforts to control blood sugar levels with medication because it disrupts the timing of the digestive process.

Prevention of Diabetes Among the Elderly
|
|
Diabetes greatly increases premature deaths among people 65 and older, says a Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center study. The study of 148,519 people found the death rate among people 65 and older was 10 percent per year among those with diabetes and 6 percent per year among those without diabetes. These new findings suggest that prevention of diabetes among the elderly should be a priority. (Diabetes Research)
