The study
European study proves insulin resistance ns not sole underlying driver of cardiometabolic risk

Insulin resistance, obesity, central obesity and a high insulin response each make an independent but partial contribution to the metabolic risk cluster known as Insulin Resistance Syndrome or Metabolic Syndrome, according to data from the Relationship between Insulin Sensitivity and Cardiovascular risk (RISC) study – the largest study of its kind using the ‘gold standard’ euglycaemic hyperinsulinaemic clamp technique, presented at the EASD congress.

The kidney in diabetes: dynamic pathways of injury and repair

The natural history of diabetic nephropathy has been changing in the last decades; in addition to development and progression, the natural history now also includes the possibility of regression.

Diabetes and the Brain
Microvascular disease in type 1 diabetes and the impact on brain function and structure

Individuals with type 1 diabetes (DM1) show mild performance deficits on a range of neuropsychological tests compared to non-diabetic controls, but the mechanisms underlying cognitive deterioration in diabetes are poorly understood. In the past decades, several studies have addressed the effects of recurrent hypoglycaemia on cognition.

Guideline
The International Diabetes Federation launches new Guideline
for Management of Postmeal Glucose

A new guideline to be launched by the International Diabetes Federation calls for a more aggressive approach and sets standards to manage postmeal blood glucose to help optimise diabetes control and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in people with diabetes.

Diabetes and the brain
Cognitive dysfunction in type 2 diabetes: course of development
and relation to vascular disease

It is increasingly recognised that type 2 diabetes (DM2) is associated with long-term complications in the brain. These complications are reflected in cognitive dysfunction and abnormalities on brain imaging.
