Pediatric Diabetes Complications Rise During COVID by Colleen Fleiss on April 27, 2021 at 11:29 PM
During the COVID pandemic a higher number of kids with type 2 diabetes have faced severe complications, revealed study from Children s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA). DKA happens when insulin levels in the blood drop too low for too long, said lead author Lily Chao, Interim Medical Diabetes Director at CHLA. Insulin helps the body utilise glucose. So when there s not enough insulin, the body starts breaking down fat as a source of energy, she added.
‘There has been a surge of children with life-threatening diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) a severe complication of Type-2 diabetes during the COVID pandemic.’
Cells Bonding Boosts Body s Diabetes Fight by Colleen Fleiss on January 31, 2021 at 1:17 AM
Immature β-cells known as (PDX1LOW/MAFALOW) were able to overcome their relative deficiencies by partnering with stronger counterparts to drive insulin release, said scientists at the University of Birmingham.
Scientists have broadened our understanding of how weak cells bond with their more mature cellular counterparts to boost the body s production of insulin, improving our knowledge of the processes leading to type 2 diabetes - a significant global health problem.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus occurs when β-cells cannot release enough insulin - a tightly controlled process requiring hundreds of such cells clustered together to co-ordinate their response to signals from food, such as sugar, fat and gut hormones.
