A significant increase in the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease is associated with various cardiometabolic disorders, such as diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Researchers from the Karolinska Institutet have recently conducted a twin study that raises the possibility that dementia
A new study at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis may help explain how excess weight can contribute to diabetes and may provide researchers with a target to help prevent or delay diabetes in some of those at risk.
Researchers have tested an artificial pancreas for use by type 2 diabetes patients. The device, which was powered by an algorithm developed at the University of Cambridge, compared to standard treatment, patients spent twice as much time in the glucose target range and half as much time expe
Machine learning techniques can predict with certainty the likelihood that patients with type 2 diabetes would have poor glycemic control. The length of type 2 diabetes, previous glucose levels, and the patient's use of anti-diabetic medications are the most crucial variables influencing gly
Time-restricted eating has been shown in studies to have health benefits, including an increase in life span, making practises like intermittent fasting a hot topic in the wellness industry. However, how it affects the body at the molecular level and how those changes interact across multipl
One type of bacteria found in the gut may contribute to the development of Type 2 diabetes, while another may protect from the disease, according to early results from an ongoing, prospective study led by investigators at Cedars-Sinai.
Scientists have demonstrated how time-restricted eating influences gene expression in more than 22 different areas of the body and brain. Gene expression is the process by which genes are activated and respond to their surroundings by producing proteins.
Patients who regurgitate frequently but for no apparent reason may be suffering from rumination. Unfortunately, rumination is frequently misdiagnosed as other gastrointestinal conditions, which means that many patients may not receive timely treatment.
Being overweight increases the risk of an imbalance in sugar metabolism and even of diabetes. A research group at the University of Basel has now shown the opposite is true as well: deficits in the body's insulin production contribute to being overweight.
A quarter-sized device created at Houston Methodist could drastically alter the course of treatment for Type 1 diabetes, a chronic condition that impacts millions of Americans and does not have a cure.
