Time-restricted eating may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and improve overall health, according to a new review. This type of fasting means having regular but fewer meals, cutting out late-night snacks, and not eating for 12 to 14 hours (often overnight). After a comprehensive review of published, peer-reviewed studies, the researchers found a connection...
High-profile coverage of the off-label use of Ozempic, a GLP-1 agonist, for weight loss, has meant that the type 2 diabetes drug has received a lot of bad press.

by University of Montreal Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Canadian researchers have identified a new role for vitamin K and gamma-carboxylation in beta cells and their potentially protective role in diabetes, achieving a first in 15 years of basic research. The discovery by scientists at Université de Montréal and its affiliated Montreal Clinical Research Institute (IRCM) is a welcome advance in the...
by Lund University Box and whisker plots show distributions of genetic risk scores (GRSs) for fasting insulin (a), beta-cells (b), BMI (c) and obesity (d) in WellGen (India) and ANDIS (Sweden) studies; and scatterplots of related phenotypes for the two populations. WellGen is shown in red and ANDIS in blue. For obesity GRS, proportion of patients...
