Insulin Degludec Lowers Risk of Recurrent Low Blood Sugar or Has Similar Risk to Insulin Glargine
June 16, 2013 (Newswise) — Insulin degludec (Tresiba), a new ultra-long-acting insulin, has a similar or reduced risk of recurrent hypoglycemia—low blood sugar—compared with the commercially available insulin glargine, a new meta-analysis study finds. Results of the combined analysis, of five completed cli

Email this New Target for Treating Prediabetes in Patients with Kidney Disease
December 23, 2012 (Newswise) — Insulin resistance, or prediabetes, in individuals with kidney disease may be caused by the progressive retention of certain compounds that are normally excreted by the kidneys in healthy individuals, according to a study appearing in an upcoming issue of the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN). The findings might be used to prevent i
