A study in south-west Nigeria found that high-sensitivity C-reactive protein was more consistently associated with obesity than tumour necrosis factor-alpha or interleukin-6 in adults with type 2 diabetes. A study from south-west Nigeria suggests that high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, better known…
The newly recognised form of diabetes, linked to chronic undernutrition and affecting up to 25 million people, requires different diagnosis and treatment from types 1 and 2. After decades on the margins of diabetes research, the International Diabetes Federation has…
Mouse studies suggest the inactive carbonic anhydrase protein helps coordinate glucose production in the liver and insulin release in the pancreas, although human research is still needed. Researchers at Kyoto University have identified carbonic anhydrase VIII, or CA8, as a…
Analysis suggests intermediate glucose control may suit patients with sepsis and cardiac disease, while those with neurological illness could benefit from stricter targets. A new study in Nursing in Critical Care suggests that the best blood glucose target for critically…
From blood sugar checks and meal planning to medication routines and emotional support, everyday diabetes care is built on countless acts of vigilance that often go unseen. Before the household is fully awake, the day is already organised around a…
With 115 million US adults estimated to have prediabetes, pharmacists are being urged to help patients use routine glucose checks to spot risks and improve diabetes management. The American Diabetes Association says keeping glucose under control supports overall health and…
Surgery, reduced activity, hormonal changes and disrupted routines can all affect glucose levels after a hysterectomy, making follow-up especially important for women with diabetes or prediabetes. Recovery from a hysterectomy can be more complex than many women expect. The operation,…
The once-weekly treatment delivered up to 9.2% mean weight loss and improved blood sugar control in adults with overweight or obesity and type 2 diabetes. Zealand Pharma said its experimental weight-loss drug petrelintide met its main goal in a mid-stage…
Four endocrinologists recommend whole fruit in sensible portions, paired with foods such as yoghurt, nuts or cheese, rather than avoiding naturally sweet options. Four endocrinologists say fruit does not need to be treated as a threat to blood sugar, so…
A study of 1,356 adults without diabetes suggests that average glucose, time spent above 140 mg/dL and glucose variability may sharpen cardiovascular risk assessment, although longer-term research is needed. Continuous glucose monitoring may offer a new way to gauge future…
