( nopausal women with diabetes had increa...)A Compilation of recent Diabetes Research articles,Health

nopausal women with diabetes had increased dislipidemia compared to non-diabetic women. Diabetic women who were currently undergoing HRT showed significant difference in lipid and glucose control levels compared to the new HRT users. The following variables acted as the indicators: total cholesterol (225 vs. 241mg/dl), non-HDL (169 vs.188 mg/dl), APO (171 vs.147 mg/dl), fibrinogen (306 vs.342 mg/dl), glucose (112 vs. 154 mg/dl), insulin (16.81 vs. 22 uU/ml), and GHQ (6.03 vs.7.13 mg/dl). Researchers concluded that glycemic control and lipoprotein profiles were better in diabetic & non-diabetic post menopausal women who were current HRT users than in the new or previous HRT users.

Inflammation, Heart disease & Type 2 Diabetes

An annual research conference of ADA investigators presented interesting facts about the relationship of type 2 diabetes, which is strongly linked to heart disease, to inflammation also. The research is based on the fact that when you get an infection your body produces cells that help fight off disease. When this happens a variety of protein types and other substances collect in the blood stream. Inflammation can be measured by looking at these substances and these act as "markers" of inflammation. People with heart disease have found to have higher levels of these markers while a slight presence of these markers indicated development of heart disease in future. Researchers concluded that there is marked link between inflammation and diabetic control as drugs which reduce inflammation also improve diabetic control. An examination of the medication records of 11,000 type 2 diabetic patients who took medication to lower blood glucose levels showed that it took longer for patients' diabetes to get worse if they took statins. However the use of statins in those at a risk for inflammatory type 2 diabetes can be concluded only after further research.
