Vissa varianter på den så kallade riskgenen TCF7l2 ger mer än 50 procents ökad risk för typ 2-diabetes. Genen är sedan flera år väl beskriven och mekanismerna för hur den ökar risken för typ 2-diabetes är kartlagda. Nu har forskare från USA och Storbritannien undersökt vad som händer när personer med typ 1-diabetes bär på vissa varianter av TCF7l2-genen. Och, resultatet är överraskande. I studien,

Mattias Collin tillträder som ny prefekt på Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper i Lund, IKVL, i januari 2025. För intramed berättar han vad som lockar med uppdraget: – Att få höja blicken lite och arbeta för en hel institutions bästa, istället för ett enskilt forskningsområde eller utbildning, säger han. Hur känns det?– Det känns fantastiskt att kollegorna ger mig detta förtroende! Den överväga

Även om sockerkontrollen inte nämnvärt förbättras av kombinationen insulin och metformin vid typ 2 diabetes ger den andra betydelsefulla fördelar. En av dem är att risken för hjärtinfarkt och stroke kraftigt minskar. För många patienter med typ 2 diabetes är tablettbehandling i längden inte tillräcklig för att kontr

During his more than 50-year career, diabetes researcher Åke Lernmark has made several significant discoveries that have increased knowledge about type 1 diabetes. His research contributes to creating conditions for a national screening programme in Sweden. In Sweden, around 1,000 children and an equal number of adults develop type 1 diabetes each year. The disease has major consequences for the f

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Eftersom de båda vanligaste diabetestyperna, typ 1 och typ 2, blir vanligare ökar också antalet individer som har båda sjukdomarna samtidigt. Mycket kort kan dubbel diabetes definieras som när en typ 1:a utvecklar insulinresistens, ofta på grund av övervikt. Så sammanfattas tillståndet bakom begreppet dubbel diabete
