A South Delhi medical meeting highlighted how timely assessment and specialist referral can identify poor circulation behind slow-healing wounds and help preserve limbs. Diabetic foot problems can become limb-threatening when nerve damage hides injuries and poor circulation slows healing. The…
A review of records from 4,000 users found glucose readings within the target range for nearly three-quarters of the time. However, relatively few participants reported type 2 diabetes, and the observational analysis cannot establish comparative benefit. A real-world analysis of…
Sweetness taps into an ancient preference, but that does not make sugar addictive. From checking labels to serving smaller portions, small changes can help reduce added sugar without ruling out treats. A bowl of seasonal sweets can disappear surprisingly quickly,…
A cyanothioacetamide-derived compound was linked to lower glucose and less pancreatic damage in rats, but the findings do not establish its safety or effectiveness in people. In a rat model of diabetes, an experimental chemical compound was associated with lower…
Persistent fatigue, blurred vision and dark, velvety skin patches may be warning signs, but only a blood test can identify prediabetes. Early detection and lifestyle changes can help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes can develop quietly for…
MSF says community education and closer follow-up have reduced severe presentations in western Kenya, but medication costs, distance and food insecurity still undermine care. When Anthony Onsinyo was 17, the symptoms came on fast: sudden weight loss, dehydration, frequent urination…
An eight-week trial found improved artery function among participants who ate both fruits daily, without weight gain or increased calorie intake. Researchers caution that the results are an early signal, not proof of long-term heart protection. A study in the…
The experimental device converted excess glucose into a compound cleared by the kidneys, but its results so far are limited to mice. Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed an experimental implant that may one day offer a drug-free way to…
Adults taking part in an eight-month New York City programme saw improvements in A1C, blood pressure and diet quality, though the preliminary study cannot show meals alone caused the changes. Adults with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure in…
A single-centre study found that a higher stress hyperglycaemia ratio was linked to greater risk of acute heart failure before surgery in older patients with chronic cerebrovascular disease. A study published on the Dove Press platform suggests that the stress…
