Researchers suggest that Type 2 diabetes may be linked to an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease, potentially due to a combination of family history and elevated blood sugar levels starting at a young age. Dr. Elizabeth Bower from Mercy Medical Center notes that nearly half of Americans over 65 have elevated blood sugars, which may affect brain metabolism. Pre-diabetes is also being observed in children, and women are typically screened for diabetes during their first pregnancy.

Researchers from Japan's RIKEN Center have identified a specific strain of gut bacteria, Alistipes indistinctus, that may combat insulin resistance and protect against the development of type-2 diabetes. The study found that individuals with higher insulin resistance had excessive carbohydrates in their fecal matter, particularly monosaccharides like glucose, fructose, galactose, and mannose. The presence of gut bacteria from the taxonomic order Lachnospiraceae was associated with insulin resistance and excess fecal carbohydrates, while those with more Bacteroidales-type bacteria had lower insulin resistance and monosaccharide levels. Experiments with mice showed that A. indistinctus lowered blood sugar levels and reduced insulin resistance. However, further human trials are needed to validate these findings before recommending probiotics as a treatment for insulin resistance.

Early time-restricted feeding (eTRF), a type of intermittent fasting where participants only eat for the first six to eight hours of the day, could help people with pre-diabetes and obesity control their blood sugar levels, according to new research. Participants in the study ate 80% of their calories before 1 pm. The researchers found that eTRF, for even just a week, appeared to prevent fluctuations in blood glucose levels and decrease the time that blood glucose is above the range it should be, independent of a person's weight. However, more research needs to be done to understand the potential benefits of eTRF.
