High fibre may cut diabetes risk:

High levels of cereal fibre and magnesium are associated with a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes melitus,according to reportin the Archives of Internal Medicine .The findings stem from an analysis performed by Matthias B Schulze and colleagues from the German Institute of Human Nutrition PotsdamRehbruecke.Compared to the subjects with the lowest cereal fibre intake,those with the highest intake had a 28% reduction in diabetes risk.Fruit and vegetable fibre intake,by contrast,did not affect the risk.

Depressed people prone to diabetes:

Elderly people who are depressed are more likely to become diabetic than those who are not,according to a study that suggests depression may play a role in causing the most common form of diabetes.Writing in the "Archives of Internal Medicine," the researchers said people with a high number of symptoms of depression were about 60% more likely to develop type 2 diabetes,formerly called adult-onset diabetes,than people not considered depressed.Unlike some other studies examining a link between depression and diabetes,this one looked at the effects not only of single bouts of depression but also of chronic depression and depression that worsened over time.It found an increased risk for diabetes in each of those scenarios.

Type 2 diabetes may raise Parkinson's risk:

Patients with type 2 diabetes are more likely to develop Parkinson's disease,although the reasons are unclear.Finnish researchers reported.They found that people with type 2 diabetes were 83% more likely to be diagnosed with Parkinson's later in life than people in the general population. This risk was the same for men and women and was independent of other risk factors. "Diabetes might increase the risk of Parkinson's disease partly through excess body weight," the researchers wrote in the April issue of "Diabetes Care".

Urine test may predict kidney disease:

Looking at various proteins in urine may help doctors predict the development of diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetes patients well before they develop the condition,according toa report in the March Diabetes Care. "We have identified a set of urine proteins almost 10 years before the onset of diabetic nephropathy that identify those who will go on to get diabetic nephropathy, the most common cause of renal failure in the US and the world," Ravi Thadani,from Masachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston,said. Diabetic nephropathy is a serious complication of diabetes in which the kidneys lose their ability to function over time.
