Research Shows Women who eat Red Meat have a Higher Risk of Contracting Gestational Diabetes
Written by Editor
A new commentary published in “BMJ’s Evidence-Based Nursing” reports that women who eat high amounts of red and processed meats have a higher-than-average risk of contracting gestational diabetes than other women do. This commentary was based upon information contained in several reports that have been conducted by researchers across the globe, some of which also claim that eating red meat leads to an increased risk of Type-2 diabetes as well. Doctors have become increasingly aware of the link between eating red meat and the development of Type 2 diabetes for some time, but are just now becoming aware of its affect on pregnant women. Although there is a connection, scientists are still not sure as to the exact mechanisms that cause red meat consumption to pose an increased risk. As a result, more research is still needed in order to learn more. This discovery is actually good news for women who plan to conceive, as it can help them reduce…

For years, people have been searching for solutions to the world’s type 1 diabetes problem. It has lead to all sorts of conjecture as to which combination of actions can prevent, slow down or stop the disease from impacting individual’s lives. The most recent combination to be discussed is type 1 diabetes testing and gluten free diets. Two articles appeared on the topic in January 2014. Both were based on recent research results and published in prestigious medical journals. One of the articles can be found in the Journal of Leukocyte Biology. The other was published by Renal and Urology News. Together, they indicate that inflammation, including that due to gluten intolerance, may spur the disease’s progression. As such, they’ve led some to develop the hypotheses that adopting a gluten free diet and engaging in aggressive, early type 1 diabetes testing routines may be a smart way to proceed in combating the disease. A gluten free diet, as you may…

Diabetes Testing Supplies News: New Gene Variant Discovery Excites Scientists
Written by Editor
According to the CDC’s research, diabetes is one of the top five leading causes of death among America’s Latino population. The majority of those that find themselves in that high risk category tend to have type 2 diabetes. Because of that, some members of the scientific research community have long believed that the disease’s prevalence in the Latino community is connected to genetics. So they’ve been conducting research over the last few years to either prove or disprove their assumptions. On December 25, 2013, one of those research groups published their latest findings in Nature magazine. The study’s test subjects included several groups known to have a high risk for developing diabetes, including those with Latin American ancestors. The scientists examined the subjects’ genetic makeup in the hopes of finding a common denominator that could be linked to the disease’s development. They did find such a genetic connection among Latin American participants. The genetic marker shared by the study’s Latino…
