Page changed: LADA
Added citation to Medpage today discussion of new Type 1 studies that found that intervening early with insulin did not prevent the development of Type 1 diabetes in children with serious genetic risk factors. This raises the question of whether early intervention with insulin in LADA can slow the progress of this form of adult onset autoimmune diabetes, though it does not provide any reason NOT to start insulin early.

Report of Severe Joint Pain and Damage Associated with Januvia
Page changed: Januvia
Added report of severe joint pain and damage subsequent to starting Januvia. As DPP-4 is known to be low in people with rheumatoid arthritis there is reason to believe that lowering DPP-4 might indeed cause this life-altering side effect.

JAMA: Higher Arsenic Concentration in Urine Correlates with Risk of Type 2 Diabetes
Page Changed: You Did Not Eat Your Way to Diabetes

Cited NYTimes coverage of this story that explained the sources of trace arsenic.
This study raises the possibility that industrial pollution is linked to the so-called "diabetes epidemic".
