Researchers identify the metabolic enzyme FBP1 as a key obstacle in diabetic skin repair and develop a novel topical gel based on a natural compound derivative, showing promising results in mice and potentially paving the way for new treatments for…
New research indicates that matching doses of semaglutide and tirzepatide yields comparable weight loss in type 2 diabetes, highlighting the potential for dose-based substitution amid supply and cost pressures. A new attempt to answer one of obesity and diabetes medicine’s…
Industry forecasts predict strong growth in blood glucose monitoring over the next decade, driven by rising diabetes prevalence and technological advances in continuous and connected systems, though cost and access remain barriers to wider adoption. Market researchers are increasingly aligned…
Despite differing estimates, analysts agree that the expanding demand for HbA1c testing, driven by rising diabetes prevalence and technological advances, will sustain double-digit growth in the market, with laboratories maintaining their dominance even as decentralised testing gains momentum. Forecasts for…
Clinicians highlight the potential benefits of brief walks after eating for blood glucose control and digestion, while emphasising individualised timing and safety considerations for people with diabetes. A short walk after an evening meal is not a cure-all, but clinicians…
Emerging research suggests that treatments like spinal cord stimulation, ultrasound, and remote ischaemic conditioning may activate healing signals remotely, offering new hope for persistent diabetic foot ulcers where traditional methods fall short. For people with diabetes whose foot ulcers persist…
