A study suggests that sitting by a window and exposing oneself to natural daylight can help people with type 2 diabetes better manage blood sugar levels by supporting circadian rhythms, with participants experiencing more time within healthy glucose ranges when exposed to natural light compared to artificial lighting.
A compound called TMA produced by gut bacteria may help prevent and manage type 2 diabetes by reducing inflammation and improving insulin response, offering a potential new avenue for treatment and prevention, though more research is needed.
A phase 3 trial in Chinese adults with type 2 diabetes showed that mazdutide, a dual GCGR/GLP-1R agonist, significantly improved glycemic control and promoted weight loss compared to placebo, with a favorable safety profile.
A phase 3 study in Chinese adults with type 2 diabetes found that mazdutide, a dual glucagon and GLP-1 receptor agonist, was more effective than dulaglutide in reducing HbA1c and body weight over 28 weeks, with manageable gastrointestinal side effects.
Acting within the first two years of a prediabetes diagnosis through lifestyle modifications such as weight loss, increased physical activity, and healthy eating can significantly reduce the risk of progressing to type 2 diabetes, emphasizing the importance of early detection and intervention.
A 14-year study from Monash University found that daily consumption of sugar-free diet drinks like Cola Zero may increase the risk of Type 2 diabetes by 38%, potentially due to artificial sweeteners disrupting gut health and metabolism, suggesting water as a healthier alternative.
Eli Lilly's oral GLP-1 receptor agonist, orforglipron, showed superior glycemic control in two Phase 3 trials, outperforming dapagliflozin and oral semaglutide, with significant A1C reductions and weight loss, supporting its potential as a new standard treatment for type 2 diabetes.
Recent research highlights a significant link between diabetes, especially Type 2 or late-onset, and an increased risk of pancreatic cancer. People with long-term high blood sugar or new diabetes after age 50 should be aware of this connection and consider early warning signs and preventive measures, as pancreatic cancer remains one of the deadliest cancers with rising incidence.
The article discusses the rising obesity rates among American men, highlighting personal stories like Eric Reed's struggle with weight gain, health issues, and the importance of seeking medical help, as men tend to seek weight loss treatment less often than women.
Eli Lilly's new oral GLP-1 receptor agonist, orforglipron, demonstrated superior efficacy in reducing A1C levels and weight loss compared to oral semaglutide in a 52-week Phase 3 trial involving adults with type 2 diabetes, with promising safety and tolerability profiles.
A new study reveals that nearly 44% of people with diabetes are unaware of their condition, highlighting the importance of regular screening, especially among young adults, and emphasizing lifestyle changes to prevent type 2 diabetes.
Eli Lilly's experimental oral GLP-1 pill, orforglipron, helped overweight adults with type 2 diabetes lose an average of 10.5% of their body weight in a late-stage trial, with significant improvements in blood sugar levels, positioning it as a promising alternative to injectable obesity drugs and potentially paving the way for regulatory approval and market launch next year.
A study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that combining a Mediterranean diet with calorie reduction, physical activity, and professional support can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 31%, highlighting the importance of lifestyle changes for disease prevention.
A Harvard study found that eating French fries is linked to a 20% increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, unlike other potato preparations like baking or boiling. The study emphasizes that how food is prepared is as important as what is eaten, with deep-frying being particularly harmful. Replacing French fries with whole grains can reduce diabetes risk by 19%, highlighting the importance of cooking methods and food choices in health outcomes.
