Analysis of more than 300 million patient records suggests the apparent association between GLP-1 medicines and age-related macular degeneration may largely reflect underlying cardiometabolic conditions. At the annual meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology in New Orleans, researchers presented…
A dual-stream transformer combining Raman and near-infrared spectra delivered more accurate, low-latency glucose estimates, strengthening the case for closed-loop control in advanced biomanufacturing. A new multimodal sensing approach could make glucose monitoring far more reliable in bioprocessing, a long-running challenge…
Patients paying out of pocket could face thousands of dollars a year for semaglutide treatment once repeat prescriptions, appointments, tests and changing discount terms are included. The first monthly quote for Ozempic or Wegovy can seem manageable, but the arithmetic…
A review identifies Src-family kinases as possible links between high blood sugar, inflammation, oxidative stress and nerve pain, while stressing that evidence for treating diabetic neuropathy remains preliminary. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy remains one of the most damaging long-term complications of…
Gift cards for meals and presents are helping families facing the high cost of diabetes care celebrate the holiday season without sacrificing essentials. The Children’s Diabetes Foundation says its holiday assistance programme is intended to ease some of the strain…
Unusual thirst, frequent urination and persistent tiredness can be early clues to elevated blood sugar, while blurred vision, slow-healing wounds and recurrent infections may signal a more persistent problem. High blood sugar can creep up quietly, which is part of…
As digestive symptoms remain the best-known reaction to GLP-1 drugs, patients and researchers are reporting possible effects on hair and nails , while sudden vision changes require urgent medical attention. GLP-1 medicines have become central to treatment for type 2…
Long fermentation may make authentic sourdough gentler on blood sugar, but flour, portion size, toppings and individual responses can change the effect. Sourdough has earned a reputation as a better bread choice for people watching their blood sugar, but the…
Analysis of more than 2 million US surgical patients links pre-operative GLP-1 use with slightly lower rates of major cardiovascular complications and infections, though researchers stress the findings do not prove the drugs caused the benefit. A large new analysis…
The multimillion-dollar initiative will use artificial intelligence to predict how damaged cells could be converted into replacement tissue, but remains at an early research stage. The University of Michigan has launched a multimillion-dollar effort with iReprogram to develop cell-reprogramming tools…
