Publicerad 2 april 2015 En stor majoritet rapporterar att de i speciella situationer, exempelvis vid stress, nedstämdhet eller trötthet, får ett ökat sug efter godis, choklad eller annat sött. Nu visar österrikiska forskare att en stunds fysisk aktivitet effektivt dämpar det mest desperata sötsug. I undersökningen deltog 47 överviktiga personer med 28 år som genomsnittsålder.

Publicerad 13 april 2015 Skilsmässa, dödsfall, ett nytt syskon eller andra livskriser kan trefaldiga risken att barn utvecklar diabetes typ 1. För barn med anlag för diabetes kan det innebära 12 gånger så hög risk. Det visar en studie från Linköpings universitet. Diabetes bland barn ökar. Men orsaken till varför sjukdomen bryter ut är okänd. Man vet att genetiska anlag spelar roll och man misstänk

Publicerad 13 april 2015 Sedan början av 2000-talet kan patienter med svår typ 1-diabetes behandlas med insulinproducerande betaceller. En utmaning med transplantation är biverkningar av immundämpande läkemedel. För att slippa detta och minska risken för celldöd prövas nu en ny metod på Akademiska sjukhuset där insulinproducerande ö-celler kapslas in och får syre genom en inbyggd syrgastank. – Vi
