Diabetes mellitus is considered a risk equivalent to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, but it is also one of the most powerful predictors of peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Administering antibiotics led to changes in the balance of gut bacteria, with changes in levels of metabolites and intestinal wall gene expression also observed…
A newly developed material forms a short-lived coating inside the stomach and intestine that blocks glucose absorption. Learn more about the ‘surgery in a pill.’
Providers can impact patients’ ability to cope with efforts to communicate positivity while delivering realistic expectations, which can result in patient-centered diabetes care…
In a Phase I study, participants maintained large HbA1c reductions 8 years after taking the BCG vaccine.
Exposure to high levels of sugars and two types of artificial sweeteners led to markers of disease both in vitro and in vivo in rats.
Molecular studies have identified genes that are crucial for maintaining circadian rhythms. Lifestyle factors such as shift work lead to alterations in circadian rhythms.
Extensive literature show that shift work increase insulin resistance, the risk of Type 2 diabetes, and related metabolic abnormalities. Get advice on diabetes management in workers whose jobs require changing shifts.
When managing patients with Type 2 diabetes, it is important to help them avoid weight gain and use therapies that, in addition to lowering glucose levels, promote weight loss. Learn strategies to enhance patient care.
This article reviews the functions and development of the microbiota and how modern lifestyles, including nutrition, may have contributed to the changes in species of bacteria available to humans. Increasing dietary fiber as a means of improving the health of the microbiota will be proposed.
