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
Promising new research has raised the possibility of treating type 2 diabetes without drugs. Across three different animal models researchers have demonstrated how short bursts of ultrasound targeted at specific clusters of nerves in the liver can effe… Continue reading Diabetes successfully treated using ultrasound in preclinical study
Because diabetics often lack sensation in their feet, they may not instinctively shift foot pressure as needed, potentially leading to very serious skin ulcers. A set of experimental new insoles were created that problem in mind, as they shift the pres… Continue reading Pressure-modulating insoles designed to prevent diabetic foot ulcers

For all the convenience and indispensability of having access to the sum total of human knowledge in the palm of your hand, the actual process of acquiring and configuring a …read more Continue reading The New-Phone Blues: A Reminder That Hackers Shouldn’t Settle
Researchers from Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine have found sleeping in a moderately lit room can potentially harm a person’s cardiometabolic health. The study saw just one night of sleep in a room with moderate ambient light incr… Continue reading Sleep lab study finds sleeping with a light on harms heart health
If diabetes progresses too far, it can result in a potentially blinding condition known as retinopathy. And while existing treatments are invasive and often painful, there may be new hope in the form of an LED-equipped contact lens.Continue ReadingCate… Continue reading LED contact lens treatment may prevent diabetes-related blindness
A relationship between COVID-19 and diabetes was seen by doctors early in the pandemic. Not only were cases of COVID-19 more severe in patients with pre-existing diabetes but a number of subjects were seen to develop symptoms of diabetes during their a… Continue reading COVID-related cases of diabetes may be temporary, study finds
A new preclinical study has demonstrated how an experimental drug can treat type 2 diabetes by increasing the expression of a recently discovered protein found to influence insulin signaling in cells. Across several mouse studies, the research shows th… Continue reading Promising new drug target to treat diabetes and other metabolic diseases
