Chromosome 20 is the first to be completely sequenced since publication of the working draft in February 2001. An effort of the Wellcome Trust Sanger Center (U.K.), this is the third and largest human chromosome finished to the high quality specified by the Human Genome Project. A paper reporting the work appeared in the December 20, 2001, issue of Nature. Some genes linked to chromosome 20 are implicated in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, severe combined immunodeficiency, Type 2 diabetes, obesity, cataract, and eczema. Other chromosomes completed thus far are 22 and 21, which were published in December 1999 and May 2000, respectively.

Using analysis methods similar to those for the other chromosomes, researchers added such approaches as comparisons with newly released genomic sequences, including mouse and the pufferfish Tetraodon nigroviridis. These analyses can help reveal genes and regulatory elements having essential functions that have remained relatively unchanged by evolution. Authors report that some 727 genes were identified in the sequence. - Chromotherapy for Treating Diabetes - Natural Therapy for Diabetes By : Ryan Mutt

Diabetes is a disease in which your blood glucose, or sugar, levels are too high. Glucose comes from the foods you eat. Insulin is a hormone that helps the glucose get into your cells to give them energy. The cause of diabetes continues to be a mystery, although both genetics and environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise appear to play roles. There are 20.8 million children and adults in the United States, or 7% of the population, who have diabetes. While an estimated 14.6 million have been diagnosed with diabetes, unfortunately, 6.2 million people are unaware that they have the disease. Diabetes mellitus, commonly referred to as diabetes was first identified as a disease associated with “sweet urine," and excessive muscle loss in the ancient world. Elevated levels of blood glucose lead to spillage of glucose into the urine, hence the term sweet urine. Normally, blood glucose levels are tightly controlled by insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. Insulin lowers the blood glucose level. When the blood glucose elevates (for example, after eating food), insulin is released from the pancreas to normalize the glucose level. In patients with diabetes, the absence or insufficient production of insulin causes hyperglycemia. Diabetes is a chronic medical condition, meaning that although it can be controlled, it lasts a lifetime. - Diabetes - Two Steps You Must Take To Avoid Vision Loss By : Awallad

Diabetes Mellitus is a common condition in which there is too much sugar in the blood. High blood pressure and smoking cigarettes can contribute to heart problems, along with having high cholesterol (fats in your blood) and being overweight. Your heart is a big muscle that circulates blood through your body. Your blood carries oxygen to all of your organs, something that is necessary for life. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas, a large gland behind the stomach. In people who do not have diabetes, the pancreas automatically produces the right amount of insulin to move glucose from blood into the cells. However, diabetes develops when the pancreas does not make enough insulin, or the cells in the muscles, liver, and fat do not use insulin properly, or both. As a result, the amount of glucose in the blood increases while the cells are starved of energy. Over time, high blood glucose levels damage nerves and blood vessels, leading to complications such as heart disease and stroke, the leading causes of death among people with diabetes. - Diabetes Management and Kidneys By : Peter Marsden
