Stress, Diabetes Linked in Obese Black Women

Obese black women may face a greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes due to stress, a recent study suggested. Almost one-quarter of American black women have type 2 diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association.
   
“Much attention has been given to the role of obesity in the development of type 2 diabetes, but stress may be as important in this at-risk population,” study co-author Anastasia Georgiades, of Duke University in Durham, N.C., said in a news release.

Saliva Test May Someday Replace Diabetes Blood Test

There are 65 proteins that can be found at levels twice as great in the saliva of diabetics as in that of healthy people, a recent study found.
   
The scientists from Oregon and India who performed the investigation speculated that their work may provide the basis for developing a saliva test for monitoring and diagnosing type 2 diabetes – one that may one day replace blood tests.

Honey May Heal Diabetic Ulcers

While anecdotes abound concerning the wound-healing power of simple honey, a researcher is conducting the first formal study designed to rigorously examine the value of the sweet liquid in healing stubborn diabetic ulcers.
   
If honey’s medicinal potency is proven, it could represent a huge breakthrough in treating antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections, which are becoming increasingly prevalent today, especially in hospitals.

Vitamin D for Diabetes

Vitamin D, previously shown to benefit cancer, osteoporosis and heart disease, appears to prevent or delay the inception of diabetes, and to alleviate its symptoms among those already afflicted with it, according to a recent review of various studies.
   
“Vitamin D has widespread benefits for our health and certain chronic diseases in particular,” said Sue Penckofer, review co-author and a professor at Loyola University Chicago Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing. “This article [in the journal Diabetes Educator] further substantiates the role of this nutrient in the prevention and management of glucose intolerance and diabetes.”

Chiropractic Normalizes Diabetic's Sugar Levels

A recent report studies the case of a man with type 2 diabetes who underwent chiropractic care for a month and saw his blood and urine glucose levels return to normal.

The report, published in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research (JVSR), said that the man, who had been diagnosed with diabetes by a medical doctor, received nutritional and exercise guidance from a chiropractor, in addition to chiropractic adjustments. The latter are aimed at correcting spinal misalignments, which are known as vertebral subluxations. These disrupt the proper relationship between the nervous system and organs.

How to Live With Diabetic Foot Numbness

Because of the nerve damage common among the 24 million diabetics in America today, they often lose feeling in their feet, which may lead to unnoticed burns, cuts, friction sores and other troubles.

"About 60 to 70 percent of all patients that develop diabetes in their lifetime will have some form of neuropathy, which is the loss of protective sensation, and therefore, increases their risk of having a foot problem," said Crystal Holmes, a certified wound specialist and podiatrist at the University of Michigan Health System.

Vitamin D Deficit Found in Kids With Type 1 Diabetes

A dangerous insufficiency of vitam in D exists in more than 75 percent of children with type 1 diabetes, according to a recent study.

A lack of vitamin D can produce serious bone problems in later life, especially in those with type 1 diabetes. The researchers suggest these children need supplements to add to the minimal vitamin D they already receive from their diet and exposure to sunlight, the two chief sources of vitamin D for most people.

Allure and Doubt Regarding Vitamin D

It's long been known that vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption and thus good for bone and teeth health. But research now also suggests a role for vitamin D in fending off such chronic diseases as diabetes, immune disorders and cancer.

But federal scientists are cautious about suddenly touting the vitamin as a cure-all that should be taken in mega-doses by people of all ages and ethnicities. ( Read more about Allure and Doubt Regarding Vitamin D)

Worried Sick? There Might Be Some Truth There

A recent report by health provider BUPA has found that people's worries are damaging their health by causing sleepless nights, loss of sex drive, and erratic eating habits. The 2007 Worry Report demonstrates that almost one in five people constantly worry about numerous things, and more than half feel they worry more now than five years ago. Half of the people surveyed this year, which is 6% more than in 2006, claimed they were more worried about their health and their family's health than about other concerning issues such as climate change or terrorist attacks. The survey finds that almost three quarters of people worry, but around 19% admit to worrying all the time or about a number of things.

Reducing Stress Lowers Risk of Cardiovascular Problems

A Review in The Lancet reveals the importance of healthy lifestyle choices to reduce stressors related to cardiovascular risk factors. Researchers from John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore examined records between 1990 to 2006. They observed how stress affects the sympathetic nervous system, impacts physiology, and the effect it has on the cardiovascular system. Lead author, Daniel Brotman, claims "Acute physical stressors such as sugery, trauma, and intense physical exertion are well known triggers of cardiovascular events. Emotional stressors are increasingly recognized as precipitants of such events."
