The good news is that it is highly reversible, so all you need to do to prevent metabolic disease is adopt some healthy lifestyle choices and maintain them. Diabetes is a long-term medical disorder in which the body has trouble using and storing glucose, the primary fuel for the body.

Type 2 diabetes: Consuming High Levels Of Nitrites May Increase Risk

  • by

Diabetes is a chronic disease that, if not adequately managed, can lead to serious health issues. Researchers are still trying to figure out what makes people more likely to get type 2 diabetes. The relationship between nitrate and nitrite consumption and the incidence of type 2 diabetes was examined in a recent study that was published in PLOS Medicine. They discovered that higher nitrite intake was linked to a higher risk of type 2 diabetes, but nitrate consumption was not linked to such a risk. The Risks of Nitrates and Nitrites Natural sources of nitrates and nitrites include some foods. They may also be present in the water and soil.

Residual Beta-Cell Function May Protect Kidneys in Type 1 Diabetes

  • by

The research addressed in this summary was preprinted and published in Research Square; it has not yet undergone peer review. Main Points More than 3 years after being diagnosed, more than two thirds of Brazilian study participants with childhood-onset type 1 diabetes still retained some detectable C-peptide function. Regardless of A1c or the length of the diabetes, even this barely detectable C-peptide level proved to guard against albuminuria. Why It’s Important Uncertainty exists regarding the connection between chronic diabetes problems and residual beta-cell activity. Cross-sectional observational study with 138 persons (58.7% of whom are men) who have had type 1 diabetes for three years or more. The average age at type 1 diabetes diagnosis was 9, the median age at… Read More »Residual Beta-Cell Function May Protect Kidneys in Type 1 Diabetes

A New Approach to Treating Diabetes

  • by

Giving patients control over their own medicine is a novel strategy for managing type 2 diabetes that is shown in a recent study. By giving patients control over their own medicine, a recent large-scale trial known as the Trimaster study offers a breakthrough method of managing type 2 diabetes. In the first trial of its sort, people with type 2 diabetes who have tried three different medications in a row can now choose the treatment they want to take. The study’s findings imply that this strategy might be a novel means of determining the best course of treatment for patients. Researchers at the University of Exeter were in charge of the Medical Research Council-funded trial, which comprised delivering 3 routinely… Read More »A New Approach to Treating Diabetes

Women With Diabetes At Early Age More Likely To Enter Menopause Early

  • by

According to recent research published in Menopause, a woman’s likelihood of entering menopause increases the sooner she develops diabetes. This new study sought to comprehend the long-term effects of premenopausal diabetes on a woman’s reproductive health, including her age at natural menopause. Previous studies have assessed the risk for women to develop diabetes after menopause. Researchers discovered that early age of type 1 and type 2 diabetes diagnosis (>30 years old and 30-39 years old, respectively) was associated with an earlier onset of menopause than women without a diabetes diagnosis. Additionally, they discovered that, in comparison to people without diabetes, those with type 2 diabetes who were diagnosed later in life (>40 y) also experienced later onset of natural menopause.… Read More »Women With Diabetes At Early Age More Likely To Enter Menopause Early

How Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) Can Keep Your Diabetes In Check

  • by

Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs), which monitor blood glucose every 15 minutes and can be used to diagnose diabetes and prediabetes, are rapidly becoming popular as health trackers in wearable technology. A recent study found that with just 12 hours’ worth of glucose profile data, researchers could categorise Type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, and patients without impaired glucose tolerance. The research results were recently presented in New Orleans and Los Angeles at the 36th Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS). CGMs are very user-friendly and benefit diabetic patients who may take them home for routine insulin measurement, according to Dr. Richa Chaturvedi, Senior Consultant, Endocrinologist and Diabetologist at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in New Delhi. Dr. Chhavi Agrawal, Associate Consultant, Endocrinologist, Fortis… Read More »How Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) Can Keep Your Diabetes In Check
