BOSTON COLLEGE Chestnut Hill, Mass. (4/13/2022) – Gut microbes can regulate the exocrine and endocrine functions of the pancreas and hormone production of the gastrointestinal tract, findings that may help develop potential treatments for diabetes and other diseases, a team of researchers from Boston College, Joslin Diabetes Center, and Maastricht University, Netherlands, report in the...
by Diabetologia Credit: CC0 Public Domain New research published in Diabetologia (the journal of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes [EASD]) finds that the consumption of healthy plant-based foods, including fruits, vegetables, nuts, coffee, and legumes, is associated with a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) in generally healthy people and support their...
New research has found that people who have difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep had higher blood sugar levels than people who rarely had sleep issues. The University of Bristol-led findings suggests insomnia could increase people’s risk of type 2 diabetes and that lifestyle or pharmacological treatments that improve insomnia could help to prevent or treat...

THE ENDOCRINE SOCIETY WASHINGTON—Black people with diabetes were more likely to develop cases of a life-threatening complication called diabetic ketoacidosis during the pandemic, even in people without COVID-19, according to a new study from the TID Exchange published in the Endocrine Society’s Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. People with diabetes are more likely to get...
