En felbedömning från sjukvårdsupplysningen fick i våras en tragiskt följd. En 13-årig flicka med typ 1-diabetes hade kräkts upprepade gånger, hade svårt att behålla mat och dryck och hade kraftigt förhöjda blodsockervärden. Flickans anhöriga fick rådet att sänka insulindoserna. Fyra dagar senare dog hon. Det var i mars tidigare i år som 13-åringen började kräkas. Hennes insulinbehandling hade ändr

I tätt samarbete har flera forskargrupper kartlagt hela vägen från en vanlig genetisk riskvariant för diabetes till en molekylär förståelse för exakt vad som felar i insulincellens mitokondrie. Denna variant av genen gör att kapaciteten att utsöndra insulin minskar och risken för diabetes ökar. Fyndet publiceras i Cell Metabolism, en av de mest ansedda vetenskapliga tidskrifterna.

Att banta och gå ned i vikt och sedan upp och sedan ned igen – så kallad jojo-bantning – inte är hälsosamt är känt. Nu har amerikanska forskare i djurförsök kartlagt varför. Fynden som publicerats i tidskriften The Journal of Neuroscience skulle kunna förklara varför människor som flera gånger misslyckats med att behålla en viktnedgång får det allt svårare för varje nytt försök.Forskarna jämförde
