In a massive study of 85,000 people, scientists at Flinders University have found that night-time exposure to light increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, independent of daytime activities.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Flin… Continue reading Late-night light raises your type 2 diabetes risk by up to 67%
Being overweight and obese are significant risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. While losing weight can optimize blood sugar levels and reduce the dosage of prescribed antidiabetic drugs, weight loss can be challenging to achieve and maintain. … Continue reading 5:2 diet proves better than meds for new diabetics
More than one in three American adults has prediabetes, where their blood glucose levels (BGLs) are higher than normal but not high enough to attract a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. Not everyone with prediabetes goes on to develop diabetes; early treat… Continue reading Prediabetes drug puts brakes on progression to type 2 diabetes
It’s no surprise that regular exercise can improve a variety of health metrics. But a new study shows that when you work out is as important as exercise itself, especially when it comes to controlling your blood sugar levels.Continue ReadingCategory: H… Continue reading Blood sugar goes low and stays low with exercise at this time of day
Diabetics sick of daily injections may have renewed hope for a less invasive alternative. Scientists at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have developed a new delivery method for insulin where users just place a few drops under their tongue.Cont… Continue reading Oral insulin drops under the tongue could replace diabetes injections
The antidiabetic and weight loss drug semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) is already a worldwide smash hit, and its list of health benefits outside these uses keeps getting longer. Recent studies have found it reduced heart risks in overweight non-diabetics … Continue reading Ozempic adds ‘saving kidneys, hearts and lives’ to its list of benefits

Managing Type 1 diabetes is a high-stakes balancing act — too much or too little insulin is a bad thing, resulting in blood glucose levels that deviate from a narrow …read more Continue reading Software Bug Results in Insulin Pump Injuries, Spurs Recall
Scientists have developed a promising new drug that could prevent and even reverse the onset of type 1 diabetes. The experimental monoclonal antibody drug acts like a shield to protect insulin-producing cells from damage, even extending lifespan in som… Continue reading Experimental antibody drug prevents and even reverses diabetes onset
The magnetometer in your smartphone helps you navigate by powering the device’s digital compass. Now researchers have found a way to use it to navigate body chemistry by reading your glucose levels, potentially making managing diabetes a lot easier.Con… Continue reading Smartphone compass accurately measures glucose without the prick
