The promising results of a Phase 2 trial testing a new, once-weekly insulin treatment for type 2 diabetes have been published in The New England Journal of Medicine. The weekly injection was found to be as safe and effective as daily insulin shots and … Continue reading Once-a-week insulin shot for type 2 diabetes passes Phase 2 trials
Currently, the best treatments for type 2 diabetes involve managing blood sugar levels, but recent research suggests that the brain may be a new drug target for longer-term control. Now, a pair of studies on rats and mice has investigated how a certain… Continue reading Diabetes remission induced in mice through brain injections
The human contains different types of fat cells, and some are more desirable than others. White fat is the type that builds beer bellies and love handles, while the more beneficial brown fat is one that burns more easily to generate body heat. Scientis… Continue reading Gene-edited fat cells could be transplanted to treat obesity
Maintaining healthy levels of glucose in the blood is a critical but often painstaking task for diabetics, involving regular insulin injections and fingerprick blood tests to ensure everything is kept in check. A new synthetic film developed at MIT cou… Continue reading Self-assembling intestinal film blocks glucose uptake to treat diabetes
A team from University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) has demonstrated promising potential in using a smartphone camera to diagnose type 2 diabetes. The innovative research demonstrates a technique that needs no additional hardware other than a fu… Continue reading Smartphone cameras can now detect diabetes with 80 percent accuracy
Scientists have previously shown how to activate energy-burning brown fat in mice, which helps shed weight and improves health. Results have been hard to replicate in humans, but a new study has found that we might be targeting the wrong receptor in ou… Continue reading New drug target in humans activates brown fat to burn excess energy
Researchers from the University of Gothenburg have for the first time studied the gut microbiome of subjects with prediabetes. The study, published in the journal Cell Metabolism, reveals a person’s unique gut bacteria population could be used to predi… Continue reading Prediabetes associated with bacterial shifts in the gut microbiome
