Research suggests that a grape-derived compound, piceatannol, may offer a new approach to preventing retinal damage in diabetes by targeting inflammation and preserving the blood-retinal barrier, with early studies in mice showing encouraging results. A grape-derived compound may point to…
A recent Chinese study suggests that a simple clinical measure, the estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR), could predict which women with prediabetes are most likely to progress to type 2 diabetes, highlighting potential for sex-specific risk assessment. A new prospective…
Researchers at KAIST have created a battery-free, wireless smart patch that visually and quantitatively monitors diabetic foot ulcers, potentially transforming wound management with real-time, non-invasive data via a colour-changing dressing and smartphone interface. Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of…
A new guide highlights the importance of recognising subtle foot problems in elderly individuals, which can signal broader mobility decline and threaten independence if left untreated. A guide published by My Stay At Home Adventures argues that foot problems in…
High uric acid often develops quietly, linked to diet, lifestyle, and health conditions. Experts warn of potential complications like gout and kidney stones if left unaddressed, highlighting the importance of routine monitoring and lifestyle changes. High uric acid in the…
Doctors warn that patients taking unapproved peptide medications or GLP-1 injections like Ozempic must inform their anaesthetist prior to surgery to prevent serious complications, as new research links these drugs to increased regurgitation and aspiration risks. Patients who are taking…
A new study led by McGill University suggests that young adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes before 45 can achieve remission through a structured programme combining calorie restriction and exercise, potentially altering the course of the disease. A new study…
A Vanderbilt University study reveals that the diabetes medication empagliflozin may offer cardiovascular protective effects by calming inflammatory immune responses in women with obesity and prediabetes, highlighting a new anti-inflammatory role beyond blood sugar control. A common class of diabetes…
A UCLA-led study finds that Black and Hispanic Medicare Advantage enrollees with diabetes are less likely to adhere to medication regimens than White patients, with disparities widening in plans with higher Black enrollee shares, highlighting the need for stronger community…
New research suggests that bones may play an active role in managing blood sugar levels, revealing a complex, two-way relationship with metabolic health that could influence future treatment strategies. Bones are often seen simply as the body’s scaffolding, but research…
