Children with complex medical conditions often need out-of-network care, study finds

Children with complex medical conditions, especially those who require behavioral health treatment, often have to go outside of their insurance plans' provider networks for care, a new study has found.

Epigenetic changes could be a biomarker for early detection of type 1 diabetes

Children who develop type 1 diabetes show epigenetic changes in the cells of their immune system already before the antibodies of the disease are detected in their blood.

Exercise counters inflammation that leads to diabetes, depression after COVID-19

While no medically recognized treatment exists for Long COVID, exercise may break the vicious cycle of inflammation that can lead to developing diabetes and depression months after a person recovers from the virus.

High prevalence of new-onset diabetes with ketoacidosis observed in children during COVID-19 pandemic

Research revealed the incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus with severe diabetic ketoacidosis has increased among genetically susceptible children during the COVID-19 pandemic.

$35 insulin cap is welcome, popular, and bipartisan. But Congress may not pass it anyway.

Democrats in the Senate are primed this month to make their first attempt at salvaging one of the most popular elements of President Joe Biden’s stalled Build Back Better plan — the proposal to cap insulin costs at $35 a month.

Researchers take pioneering efforts to optimize the functionality of pancreatic cells produced from stem cells

Helsingin yliopisto (University of Helsinki) Insulin is a vital hormone produced by pancreatic beta cells. Type 1 diabetes is caused by the destruction of these cells, which results in patients having to replace the lost insulin with multiple daily injections.

Study identifies new ways to enhance SC-beta cell survivability through genetic manipulation

Recent advances in the transplantation of stem cell-derived insulin-producing beta cells (SC-beta cells) to treat type 1 diabetes (T1D) has generated considerable interest and excitement.

Using oral blood pressure drug to treat Type 1 diabetes shows benefits for at least two years

Use of the drug verapamil to treat Type 1 diabetes continues to show benefits lasting at least two years, researchers report in the journal Nature Communications.

Fact check: Biden sets high bar in 1st State of the Union speech

President Joe Biden argued forcefully for the power of democracy while calling out Russia's invasion of Ukraine in a March 1 State of the Union address that soon turned to the domestic concerns of the economy, inflation, and covid-19.

Researchers launch a multi-center trial to investigate new treatment for pediatric type 1 diabetes

Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital, in partnership with NYU Langone Health, have launched a multi-center clinical trial to investigate a new treatment for pediatric type 1 diabetes even in subjects with established disease.

1 Mar 2022

Study provides new understanding of the earliest molecular events in Type 1 Diabetes pathogenesis

For the first time, researchers have revealed that during the development of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), when insulin-producing cells in the pancreas are under attack from T lymphocytes, the cells lining the pancreatic duct reprogram themselves in an attempt to suppress autoimmune T cell responses.

Study reveals new way viruses trigger autoimmunity

Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Type 1 diabetes are thought to arise when people with a genetic susceptibility to autoimmunity encounter something in the environment that triggers their immune systems to attack their own bodies.

28 Feb 2022

Study investigates whether SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with increased risk of incident type 1 diabetes

A recent study has demonstrated that although the incidence of type 1 diabetes increases among children during the COVID-19 pandemic, previous infection by SARS-CoV-2 does not directly act as a causal factor.

15 Feb 2022

Researchers identify a cellular pathway that causes pancreatic beta cells to die in type 1 diabetes

A central feature of type 1 diabetes is loss of the pancreatic beta cells that make insulin. Researchers led by Paolo Fiorina, MD, PhD, of Boston Children's Hospital and Francesca D'Addio, MD, of the University of Milan now identify a harmful cellular pathway that causes these cells to die.

Study highlights the risk of kidney disease and obesity in people with type 1 diabetes

People with type 1 diabetes should be screened regularly for obesity and chronic kidney disease, according to a study published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

I write about America’s absurd health care system. Then I got caught up in it.

I got a hurried voicemail from my pharmacist in Wisconsin the day before Thanksgiving letting me know my insurance was refusing to cover my insulin.

Is COVID-19 mRNA vaccination in children associated with subsequent multisystemic hyper-inflammatory syndrome?

Researchers assessed the possibility of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines causing multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children aged 12 to 17 years in France.

Subcutaneous nanotherapy can make immunomodulation more effective in people with type 1 diabetes

Individuals living with type 1 diabetes must carefully follow prescribed insulin regimens every day, receiving injections of the hormone via syringe, insulin pump or some other device. And without viable long-term treatments, this course of treatment is a lifelong sentence.

18 Jan 2022

New method may help make immunomodulation more effective in individuals with Type 1 diabetes

Individuals living with Type 1 diabetes must carefully follow prescribed insulin regimens every day, receiving injections of the hormone via syringe, insulin pump or some other device. And without viable long-term treatments, this course of treatment is a lifelong sentence.

High-altitude activities may increase the risk of hypoglycemia in people with diabetes

People with diabetes may need to monitor their blood sugar more closely when doing high-altitude activities such as hiking or skiing, according to a small study published in the Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
