		<description><![CDATA[Disruption of two genes that control circadian rhythms can lead to diabetes, a researcher at UT Southwestern Medical Center has found in an animal study. Mice with defective copies of the genes, called CLOCK and BMAL1, develop abnormalities in pancreatic cells that eventually render the cells unable to release sufficient amounts of insulin. &#8220;These results [...]<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://awakeinamerica.info/2010/top-news/disruption-of-circadian-rhythm-could-lead-to-diabetes/' addthis:title='Disruption of circadian rhythm could lead to diabetes '  ><a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a><a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sleep apnea has long been known to be associated with obesity, but a study published in the June 2009 issue of Diabetes Care finds the disorder is widely undiagnosed among obese individuals with type 2 diabetes, showing nearly 87 percent of participants reported symptoms, but were never diagnosed.

For those with untreated sleep apnea, it doesn't just mean their sleep is disrupted; existing research shows that it can also mean an increased risk of heart disease and stroke.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://awakeinamerica.info/2009/top-news/apnea-widely-undiagnosed-in-obese-type-2-diabetics/' addthis:title='Apnea widely undiagnosed in obese type 2 diabetics '  ><a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a><a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is already a laundry list of health issues that may result from the lack of appropriate sleep — moodiness, memory problems, difficulty concentrating — add the risk of developing diabetes.

A study from the University at Buffalo shows that people who sleep less than six hours a night during the work-week are 4½ times more likely to have elevated levels of blood sugar than those who slumber six-to-eight hours.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://awakeinamerica.info/2009/top-news/sleeping-less-than-6-hours-nightly-risks-diabetes/' addthis:title='People Who Sleep Less Than Six Hours Nightly Risk Developing Diabetes '  ><a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a><a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People with a habit of getting in a power nap during lunch could increase the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, according to the findings of a research study being presented this week at in Glasgow, Scotland.

Researchers at the University of Birmingham looked at the napping habits of 16,480 people and found that diabetes prevalence increased with napping frequency, and those who napped had a 26 percent greater risk of developing Type 2 diabetes compared to those who never napped.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://awakeinamerica.info/2009/top-news/napping-increases-risk-of-diabetes/' addthis:title='Napping increases risk of diabetes '  ><a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a><a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A new report suggests treating gum disease in patients who have diabetes with procedures such as cleanings and periodontal scaling is linked to 10-to-12 percent lower medical costs per month.

While the findings are encouraging, the study was not designed to firmly establish cause-and-effect, said George Taylor, University of Michigan associate professor of dentistry, who also has an appointment in epidemiology in the U–M School of Public Health. Taylor led the research project to investigate whether routine, non-surgical treatment for gum disease is linked to lower medical care costs for diabetics.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://awakeinamerica.info/2008/top-news/diabetics-medical-costs-lowered-treat-gum-disease/' addthis:title='Treating gum disease linked to lower medical costs for patients with diabetes '  ><a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a><a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a></div>]]></description>
