"Treatment will use £16.9bn of budget as the number of diabetics rises from 3.8 million to 6.25 million by 2035"
"Diabetes will cost the NHS more than a sixth of its entire budget by 2035, a report has found."
The majority of NHS spending on diabetes is avoidable, says a report in the journal Diabetic Medicine.
"People with high levels of vitamin D almost halve their risk of developing heart disease or diabetes, claim researchers.
They found those with lowest levels of the vitamin in their blood were at greater risk of a range of serious disorders."
"Canadian scientists at the University of Calgary are the first in the world to produce a plant-based inexpensive insulin that will possibly change the way any diabetic looks at a safflower seed."
"Surgeons in Wales are having to give sight-saving treatment to patients in their late teens and 20s struggling to control their diabetes.
Retinopathy, damage to the blood vessels in the eye, is normally more common in older diabetic patients. "
"A "shocking" number of children are being rushed to hospital each year with potentially fatal complications of diabetes, according to a charity.
Many of the 3,300 cases in England in 2008/9 could have been prevented by better care, says Diabetes UK. "
"Hope of end to daily insulin injections for children with type 1 diabetes after the creation of an artificial' pancreas, a study conducted by Cambridge University has found. "
"Scientists in Cambridge have shown that an "artificial pancreas" can be used to regulate blood sugar in children with Type 1 diabetes.
A trial found that combining a "real time" sensor measuring glucose levels with a pump that delivers insulin can boost overnight blood sugar control."
"Intense treatment to lower blood sugar in patients with diabetes could prove nearly as harmful as allowing glucose levels to remain high, a study says.
Cardiff researchers looked at nearly 50,000 patients with type 2 diabetes and found the lowest glucose levels linked to a heightened risk of death. "
"This week in science and health, international forums and news sites lit up discussing five apparently important research studies coming from Oxford, King's College London, University of Bologna, University of California at Santa Barbara, Kaiser Family Foundation, Ghent University and Indiana University School of Medicine. "
"One in five hospital patients now suffers from diabetes, according to a national audit which reveals the devastating impact of changes in British lifestyles. "
"One in five hospital patients is diabetic, placing a 'terrifying' burden on the cash-strapped NHS, a study has found.
Britain's soaring obesity rate has triggered record levels of the condition, which can result in blindness, nerve damage and amputations. "
"Sitting down for too long can cause a range of health problems, even among those who exercise regularly, experts have claimed. "
"Office workers beware: long periods of sitting at your desk may be a killer. Scientists have identified a new threat from our sedentary lifestyles that they call "muscular inactivity".
Sitting still for long periods of time leads to the build up of substances in the blood that are harmful to health. And exercise alone won’t shift them. "
"Health stories from around the world this week include a study by scientists as to whether taking vitamin D lowers the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, and a seperate study in Germany that shows that cutting your calorie intake could boost your brainpower"
"Most people diagnosed with diabetes fail to recognise warning signs that they are ill, new figures show. "
"One of the largest genetic studies ever undertaken has discovered nine new genes linked to type 2 diabetes, opening a door to new understanding and possible treatment.
Scientists from 174 research centres around the world, who studied the genes and blood glucose level of more than 120,000 volunteers, were able to identify a set of genes that control the body’s response to glucose in the blood."
"WHEN adults think of their health fears for the future, cancer or heart disease are among the first that tend to spring to mind."
"Genetic variations that are linked to type 2 diabetes cannot yet help doctors to predict who is most likely to develop the disease, scientists have found.
While more than 20 DNA variants are now known to affect people’s risk of the condition, research has found that adding these to standard predictive tools does nothing to increase their accuracy. "
