Identification of novel marker candidates associated with the progression of prediabetes to diabetes or its remission to normoglycemia
Peer-Reviewed Publication Deutsches Zentrum fuer Diabetesforschung DZD FacebookXLinkedInWeChatBlueskyMessageWhatsAppEmail People with prediabetes often develop diabetes, but many of them manage to reverse to normoglycemia. What determines these distinct outcomes? Can we identify biomarkers to predict the different trajectories of prediabetes? To address the questions above, researchers from the Paul Langerhans Institute Dresden of the German Center...

Tirzepatide Slashes Progression From Prediabetes to T2D
SAN ANTONIO – Once-weekly tirzepatide (Zepbound) reduced the risk for progression from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes (T2D) by more than 90% at 3 years and continued to maintain dramatic levels of weight loss achieved earlier, but these benefits began reversing when the drug was stopped. The findings, from the subset of 1032 individuals with...

Prototype taps into the sensing capabilities of any smartphone to screen for prediabetes
by Kristin Osborne, University of Washington Researchers at the University of Washington have developed GlucoScreen, a system that could enable people to self-screen for prediabetes. It uses a modified version of a commercially available test strip (white rectangle on the right) with any smartphone—no separate glucometer required. Leveraging the phone’s built-in capacitive touch sensing capabilities, GlucoScreen transmits...
