If you ask power companies and cell phone carriers how much electromagnetic radiation affects the human body, they’ll tell you it doesn’t at any normal levels. If you ask [Calvin Carter] and some other researchers at the University of Iowa, they will tell you that it might treat diabetes. In …read more
For many type 2 diabetics, keeping blood sugar to healthy levels is a painstaking task involving regular monitoring and insulin injections, but scientists are pursuing more convenient ways to manage the condition. Among them is a research group at the … Continue reading “Remote control” for diabetes tackles blood sugar with electromagnetism
You’ve had a terrible night of fragmented sleep. You’re feeling groggy and out of sorts. So naturally, the first thing to do is drink the biggest, strongest coffee you can get your hands on. A new study from the University of Bath is suggesting that ma… Continue reading New study recommends drinking coffee after breakfast, and not before

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
