Daily finger-prick blood tests are an uncomfortable fact of life for diabetics, but they may not always have to be. Scientists from Canada and the US have now developed a prototype home-use device that measures blood glucose levels via saliva samples.C… Continue reading At-home saliva testing could replace daily finger-jabs for diabetics
When diagnosing type 2 diabetes, physicians can look for a range of typical symptoms such as frequent urination and excessive thirst. Now, researchers say the development of other illnesses in the body might need to be added in as a predictive tool.Con… Continue reading Previous illnesses might point to future diabetes risk, says study
Kombucha, a sour drink made by fermenting sweetened tea, has shown some promise as a health-promoting beverage. Now, its powers may extend to helping those suffering from type 2 diabetes keep their blood glucose levels in check, according to a new smal… Continue reading Kombucha beverage slashes diabetics’ blood sugar levels in new study
Researchers have discovered a plant extract that targets the glucose-regulating regions of the brain that are inflamed in type 2 diabetics, improving blood glucose levels. The findings open the door to a novel, natural treatment for the disease.Continu… Continue reading Plant extract found to stabilize blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetics
A new study has uncovered the mechanism by which the brain waves produced during deep sleep can predict blood glucose control. The discovery not only highlights the importance of sleep in managing diabetes but it also offers a novel way of mapping and … Continue reading Combo of deep-sleep brain waves predicts blood sugar control
Around 96 million American adults suffer from prediabetes – which is more than one in three – but for a vast majority it’s undetected. Current diagnosis requires a clinical blood sugar test or an at-home glucometer device. With access and cost a huge f… Continue reading Easy, inexpensive smartphone prediabetes screening could save lives
