Hi,

This issue of Gems comes to you with a bunch of interesting updates. Researchers from Lund University Diabetes Centre, Sweden, have developed a novel diabetes classification system, separating adult-onset diabetes cases into five different types. This discovery is thought to help tailor and target therapies and thus represents a first step towards precision medicine in diabetes.

Other articles included in this issue are: Stand up instead of sitting and thus lose weight, Pre-Diabetes Criteria and Risk of Heart Attacks!, T1D and Later Life Dialysis Necessity, Moderate Beer Drinkers, Rejoice! Compounds May Help to Treat Metabolic Syndrome, etc.

Gems video of the month features a discussion regarding the new American College of Physicians guidelines that recommend less intensive glucose control targets for type 2 diabetes patients. Our regular updates – Drug updates, Gems picture and Recipe of the month continue.

Thanking you once again for the comments and suggestions. If in case you are not interested in receiving this free monthly scientific newsletter, kindly reply with "delete gems" in the subject line to info@jothydev.net and also click the unsubscribe button at the bottom of this page.
