Comparing those with type 2 diabetes and those without, a new study published in the journal eLife has found the disease significantly accelerates brain aging. While the pattern of neurodegeneration is similar to normal brain aging, it was found to pro… Continue reading Type 2 diabetes found to speed up brain aging and cognitive decline
One of the ways scientists hope to lighten the burden of living with type 1 diabetes is through transplantations of cells that produce insulin, shoring up supplies of the vital hormone and safely regulating blood-sugar levels into the future. Rejection… Continue reading Microgel beads offer safer path for cell transplants to treat diabetes
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a new kind of treatment for type 2 diabetes. The once-weekly injection, called Mounjaro (tirzepatide), was found to be more effective at controlling blood sugar levels than other current treatmen… Continue reading FDA approves new kind of diabetes drug with anti-obesity potential
Two common herpesviruses have been associated with the onset of prediabetes in a new study led by researchers in Germany. The findings build on a growing body of evidence connecting viral infections to the development of chronic disease.Continue Readin… Continue reading Newly discovered link between diabetes risk and herpesvirus infection
While we’ve already seen skin-worn patches that can detect individual substances in the bloodstream, a new one goes considerably further. It simultaneously measures glucose, alcohol and lactate, and could have multiple applications.Continue ReadingCate… Continue reading Wearable simultaneously measures alcohol, lactate and glucose levels
Type 1 diabetes can be a rare but serious side effect of a cancer treatment that use what are known as immune checkpoint inhibitors. In a new study in mice, researchers in Japan have shown that administering stem cell therapy could help prevent this.Co… Continue reading Stem cells could help prevent diabetes onset from cancer immunotherapy
Obesity is by far the most common risk factor for type 2 diabetes, but one in five people diagnosed with the disease are of a normal weight. A new test promises a novel way to estimate diabetes risk by looking for patterns of molecules in blood samples… Continue reading New blood test predicts type 2 diabetes risk in people of normal weight
Preliminary data from a large Phase 3 clinical trial is offering promising signs for a new anti-obesity drug. Called tirzepatide, the drug helped overweight and obese participants lose up to 22.5 percent of their total body weight over the 72-week tria… Continue reading Body weight slashed by 20% in new anti-obesity drug trial
One of the harmful effects of diabetes is the way it impacts on the blood vessels, not only narrowing them to drive up the risk of stroke and heart attacks but preventing the formation of entirely new ones. Researchers have produced what they say is th… Continue reading Exercise found to promote new blood vessel growth in diabetic mice
Poor or disrupted sleep has long been associated with a variety of negative health outcomes, from obesity and heart disease to dementia and depression. But there is an ongoing debate amongst researchers over the causal direction of these associations.C… Continue reading Study suggests causal link between insomnia and high blood sugar
