A diet low in carbs and high in fat, which has gained popularity as a way of shedding weight, can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes by 20%, according to a new study. The research team behind the study says their findings highlight the need to eat a … Continue reading Popular weight loss diet increases type 2 diabetes risk by 20%
The beta cells of the pancreas don’t need the assistance of other pancreatic cells to produce insulin, according to new research. The findings are not only a potential game-changer for diabetics, but they challenge a long-held assumption about how the … Continue reading Pancreas cells can go it alone when it comes to producing insulin
When blood sugar levels go high, so does voice pitch, according to a new study. It paves the way for detecting type 2 diabetes or monitoring diabetics’ blood sugars simply by talking into a smartphone and having AI analyze their speech.Continue Reading… Continue reading Voice linked to blood sugar: the potential for voice-based diabetes monitoring
