Genetic mutation 'could mean people need trendy diabetic bracelets'

New research has revealed that a mutation which affects the body's response to the smell and taste of food could contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes.

According to US researchers, the genetic alteration may mean that some people are more vulnerable to the 'gradual onset' of the condition.

Senior author of the study Vann Bennett, a professor in the departments of cell biology, biochemistry and neurobiology at Duke University Medical Centre, said that the development of diabetes 'happens through what is called the parasympathetic nervous system, not directly through eating food'.

He added that his team thinks 'this parasympathetic response is potentially very important in type 2 diabetes'.

Those who are affected by the disease could inform others of their condition should they ever find themselves in any trouble by wearing trendy diabetic bracelets.

This news comes after research presented at the American Heart Association Annual Conference on Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention revealed that fizzy drinks can contribute to the development of diabetes.ADNFCR-2908-ID-19666593-ADNFCR
