Aussie Study Says Yes Beta blockers, which many people with diabetes take to control high blood pressure, may be one of the reasons why type 2s often tend to gain and keep weight. That's the conclusion of a study from St. 's Hospital in Sydney, Australia. Researchers there looked at 11,438 adult patients who had high blood pressure or diabetes or both. They found that the patients taking beta blockers averaged from 11 to 37 pounds heavier than those not taking beta blockers. The beta blocker users typically burned 30 to 50 percent fewer calories after meals than their non-beta blocker-taking counterparts. The research confirms what scientists have long known about beta blockers, that they often lead to weight gain in people taking them. Combined with sedentary lifestyles and poor diets, they are one more factor in the tendency to overweight, and even obesity, that challenges many type 2 people.

Their donation, the largest in the center's history, will support diabetes research and treatment, including updating labs and attracting top-tier researchers. It will also form the kernel of a five-year, $100 million fundraising campaign.

Analysis of 24 Studies Shows Soy Has Negligible Effect on Blood Sugar <http://www.diabeteshealth.com/lists/lt.php?id=cU4GBARQX1RdAx9fWgoaBVVUBVU%3 D> news <http://www.diabeteshealth.com/lists/lt.php?id=cU4GBARQX1RdAx9fWgoaBVVUBVU%3 D> Analysis of 24 Studies Shows Soy Has Negligible Effect on Blood Sugar After comparing results from 24 studies, researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong found little evidence that increasing soy intake improves people's blood sugar levels. Previous lab research had indicated that soy proteins and estrogen-like compounds called soy isoflavones might help control blood sugar levels. The meta-analysis, designed to see if that is true, looked at 24 studies that had included a total of 1,518 people, some with diabetes. The studies had lasted anywhere from one to 12 months. While the meta-analysis showed that there might be some benefit from soy-based foods like tofu as opposed to soy supplements, there was not enough evidence to conclude that soy helps blood sugar levels.
