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
A genetically modified cow has produced milk containing human insulin, according to a new study. The proof-of-concept achievement could be scaled up to, eventually, produce enough insulin to ensure availability and reduced cost for all diabetics requir… Continue reading Transgenic cows boost human insulin production by 10X
Consuming ultra-processed food, commonly known as junk food, has been associated with a higher risk of more than 30 different adverse mental and physical health outcomes, according to a new study. The research highlights the wide range of health issues… Continue reading The numbers are in: Junk food’s toll on physical & mental health
Researchers have identified a novel inhibitor drug that, when given to mice, prevented both eye and kidney complications commonly seen in diabetics. With the potential for one medication to treat two complications, further research is being done to adv… Continue reading New drug could prevent both eye & kidney complications in diabetics
While it might run counter to conventional wisdom, if you are lactose intolerant, you might want to drink some milk every day to ward off diabetes. So says a new study that looked at a genetic variant involved in the effect.Continue ReadingCategory: He… Continue reading Lower type 2 diabetes risk seen in lactose intolerant milk drinkers

Researchers who’ve developed an oral insulin that has proven effective at reducing blood glucose and avoiding hypoglycemia in mice, rats, and baboons are set to take their drug to human clinical trials as soon as 2025. They’re hopeful it’ll be availabl… Continue reading Oral insulin set for human trials in 2025, may be available in 2-to-3 years
