New research presented at the 2022 European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) Annual Meeting has analyzed data from nearly 20 studies encompassing one million adults and found a link between drinking tea and a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes… Continue reading Drinking tea linked to reduced risk of type 2 diabetes
A new animal study has demonstrated one way sugar can contribute to metabolic diseases such as diabetes is by causing disruptions to the gut microbiome. The novel findings home in on exactly how certain gut bacteria can protect against the harmful effe… Continue reading New discovery reveals how sugar disrupts gut bacteria, leading to obesity
Type 2 diabetes can take years to develop, and if caught early it is an entirely preventable disease. A new study suggests a particular blood biomarker could be used to identify those patients on the way to a diabetes diagnosis but yet to display sympt… Continue reading Blood biomarker promises to identify diabetes before symptoms develop
The immune system’s foreign body response is important for keeping us healthy – but it’s not so useful when that foreign body is a medical implant. Researchers at MIT have now developed a device that prevents scar tissue forming around implants by gent… Continue reading Inflatable insulin pumps reduce scar tissue for long-term drug delivery
A new study has found people with elevated blood levels of a protein called prostasin face a significantly higher risk of developing diabetes or dying from cancer. It’s unclear at this point whether the protein plays a causal role in either disease, ho… Continue reading Diabetes and cancer death risk predicted by blood protein biomarker
A study led by researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has homed in on a newly discovered molecular mechanism that could prevent insulin resistance in type 2 diabetics. The research indicates disrupting the expression of a certain … Continue reading Protein discovery points to entirely new way to treat type 2 diabetes
Australian scientists have demonstrated a new way to restore insulin production in pancreatic cells, using a drug that’s already approved for use in humans. The study could mark a major breakthrough towards new treatments for diabetes.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Diabetes breakthrough restores insulin production using existing drug
There is both good and bad news in the findings from a massive new UK study tracking half a million subjects for up to a year following COVID-19. The study found COVID patients were at significantly greater risk of cardiovascular problems and new diabetes diagnoses for many weeks after an infection, however, that risk did return to baseline after several months.

The sight of a mouthwatering dish can certainly be enough to send our senses into overdrive, and a new study has demonstrated how the mechanisms behind this may play an important role in type 2 diabetes. Scientists have shown for the first time how the… Continue reading Sight of mouthwatering meals triggers inflammation linked to diabetes
A comprehensive genetic analysis of over 200,000 men has found that around one in 500 have an extra sex chromosome, with most of them unaware. That’s a much higher proportion than previously thought, and it seems to increase their risk of diseases like… Continue reading 1 in 500 men may carry extra chromosome, raising risk of some diseases
