More Physical Activity, Less TV Viewing Can Cut Diabetes Risk
wathching TV for long time and reduced physical activity is directly propotional to increased risk for Type 2 Diabetes

To study the role of MADD in diabetes, Prabhakar and his team developed a mouse model in which the MADD gene was deleted from the insulin-producing beta cells. All such mice had elevated blood glucose levels, which the researchers found was due to insufficient release of insulin.
The finding shows that type 2 diabetes can be directly caused by the loss of a properly functioning MADD gene alone, Prabhakar said. "Without the gene, insulin can't leave the beta cells, and blood glucose levels are chronically high."

Too Much or too Little Sleep Raises Diabetes Risk: Study
People who sleep too much or not enough are at greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance, say researchers at Université Laval's Faculty of Medicine.
