There are roughly about 4 million Thais and about 380,000 expats in Thailand afflicted with this disease. Keep updated with ways to control and manage diabetes while also monitor what’s developing in the research sector of this disease.
A breakthrough discovery that could improve the clinical delivery of insulin for people living with diabetes, medical scientists from Australia have developed a non-fibrillating form of human insulin.
Utilizing a novel glycosylation technique, an international research team led by Associate Professor Dr Akhter Hossain from the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health, has successfully...
Medical researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have deciphered the diabetogenic role of a certain type of calcium channel in insulin-secreting beta cells. The researchers believe that blockade of these channels could be a potential new treatment strategy for diabetes.
The recent study is published in the scientific journal PNAS.
The CaV3.1 channels have a marginal role in healthy ...
A new broad European study involving multiple medical institutes finds that patients with diabetes do not benefit from implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) pacemakers.

Findings from the Rewind (Researching Cardiovascular Events with a Weekly Incretin in Diabetes) Trial by McMaster University and Hamilton Health Sciences , has indicated that the drug dulaglutide (brandname: Trulicity) reduced cardiovascular events and kidney problems in middle-aged and older people with Type 2 diabetes.
The trial which was one of the largest of its kind involved more than 9,90...
A new discovery by a research team from Heidelberg University in Germany reveals that lowering serum cholesterol levels in patients with type 2 diabetes is associated with diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN).
Diabetic neuropathy is a type of nerve damage that occurs when an individual has diabetes. High blood sugar (glucose) can injure nerves throughout the body. Diabetic neuropathy most often ...
Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in adults across the world, but the most challenging aspect of the disease is that it often goes undetected until too much damage has been done and the person affected is already losing their vision. Most diabetics have few treatment options as the severity of the condition and vision loss worsens.
