Semin Respir Crit Care Med 2009; 30: 514-530DOI: 10.1055/s-0029-1238910ABSTRACTPatients with cystic fibrosis are frequently affected with pancreatic insufficiency and are predisposed to the development of diabetes mellitus (DM) and bone demineralization. Cystic fibrosis–related diabetes mellitus is a clinical entity distinct from type 1 and type 2 diabetes, with important implications for the nutritional and pulmonary health of cystic fibrosis patients. This form of diabetes owes largely to insulin deficiency, but alterations in insulin sensitivity and hepatic glucose production have also been described. Therapy for cystic fibrosis–related diabetes differs substantially from type 2 DM, with careful attention to prandial glycemic excursions crucial to controlling its metabolic e...MedWorm Message: Get the very latest Swine Flu news via the MedWorm Swine Flu RSS news feed - updated hourly from thousands of authoritative health and news sources.

The women were taking part in a Swedish study that included taking fat biopsies back in 1974-1975. The information is interesting because not everyone who is overweight develops Type II Diabetes and some people who are normal weight develop it. Fat cells that are too large are reflective of white adipose tissue that is out of shape. You can create this situation by eating meals that are very large or by generally overeating. How much tolerance you personally have before your fat cells get too large will vary from person to person, but you are clearly stressing this system when you eat too much. Other science demonstrates that when your white adipose tissue goes into a funk and makes too much leptin, then adiponectin levels are suppressed. The lack of adiponectin is clearly linked to Type

In patients with recent onset type-2 diabetes, treatment with insulin or the diabetes drug metformin did not reduce inflammatory biomarkers, such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, although the treatment did improve glucose control, according to a study in the September 16 issue of JAMA.
