Several of four diseases of affluence occur at the same time in this ‘deadly quartet’: obesity, high blood pressure, lipid metabolism disorder and diabetes mellitus. Each of these is a risk factor for severe cardiovascular conditions, such...
THE ENDOCRINE SOCIETY WASHINGTON–A new once-weekly basal insulin injection demonstrated similar efficacy and safety and a lower rate of low blood sugar episodes compared with a daily basal insulin, according to a phase 2 clinical trial. The study results, which will be presented at ENDO 2021, the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting, compared an investigational drug...
by The Endocrine Society Credit: CC0 Public Domain People who start eating before 8:30 a.m. had lower blood sugar levels and less insulin resistance, which could reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to a study presented virtually at ENDO 2021, the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting. “We found people who started eating earlier in...
by University of Glasgow Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Two relatively new but increasingly used diabetes drugs (with one of these classes also now approved for used in heart failure in people with or without diabetes) are possibly more effective in people with an Asian background than in people with a White background, according to new research....
by University of Otago Graphical abstract. Credit: Diabetologia (2021). University of Otago researchers have discovered one of the reasons why more than 50 percent of people with type 2 diabetes die from heart disease. And perhaps more significantly, they have found how to treat it. Associate Professor Rajesh Katare, of the Department of Physiology, says it...
