Diabetes Awareness (Philippines)
Diabetes is a disease marked by high levels of sugar in the blood. It is the leading cause of blindness, and visual disability in adults in developed countries. The cause of diabetes continues to be a mystery, although both genetics and environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise appear to play roles. Treatment involves medicines, diet, and exercise to control blood sugar and prevent symptoms.

Increasing muscle mass may lower type 2 diabetes risk (USA)
More muscle may reduce the odds of developing diabetes, a new study suggests. Other research has shown that having less body fat reduces diabetes risk and that exercise can help too, but the new study by UCLA scientists suggests a link between higher muscle mass and a lower risk of diabetes

Do all diabetics need to be on statins? Maybe not (USA)
Doctors often tell those with type 2 diabetes that they have about a 20 percent risk of suffering a heart attack or other serious cardiac event in the next 10 years and that they should take a cholesterol-lowering statin to reduce this risk. But a study published this week in the Archives of Internal Medicine confirms that the risk is actually much lower in some with the disease and that a routine blood test to measure glucose levels in the blood might be helpful in calculating an individual?s risk.

Creating safety and fairness for students with diabetes (USA)
School is supposed to be a safe haven for children - a healthy place where they can learn and grow. Unfortunately, that's not always the case for the nearly 200,000 American children with diabetes who may place their health at risk when they board the school bus each day.

Fighting diabetes with just a Wii bit of exercise (Australia)
Computer games could be the answer to combatting diabetes according to Dr Hugh Senior, Associate Professor in the school of medicine at the University of Queensland. New research to be undertaken at UQ's Ipswich campus is set to examine how interactive gaming such as the Nintendo Wii can help improve diabetes sufferers' health and quality of living.
