The diabetes drug affects pathways linked to ageing, but researchers say observational findings are not yet proof that it can extend healthspan or slow biological decline. Metformin, the low-cost diabetes drug taken by millions of people with type 2 diabetes,…
Rabia Karademir says guided diet and exercise at a Healthy Life Centre helped her lose 21kg in five months and bring her blood sugar into the desired range. A 50-year-old woman in Malatya has lost 21 kilograms in five months…
Rich in fibre and antioxidant compounds, strawberries and raspberries may support metabolic and heart health, but experts stress they work best as part of a broader healthy lifestyle. Researchers continue to examine how everyday foods may help lower the risk…
Diabetes was the leading underlying cause among South Africa’s recorded deaths in 2024, as chronic diseases widened their dominance over infectious illnesses. South Africa’s latest mortality data point to a striking change in the country’s health burden. Statistics South Africa’s…
An international study found nail detachment, discolouration and hair loss were more common among people taking GLP-1 medicines, although researchers stressed that the findings do not establish a direct cause. A new international study presented at the European Academy of…
A six-year study of 678 Japanese adults links habitual longer sleep with diabetic kidney disease, particularly among older people and those with existing kidney impairment, but cannot show that sleep causes the damage. People with type 2 diabetes who sleep…
The Exeter centre had to balance late selection, long-haul travel and unpredictable blood sugar levels as he returned to England duty and renewed his push towards the 2027 World Cup. Henry Slade’s return to England duty this summer came with…
