The health benefits of aerobic and resistance training in type 2 diabetic patients (HART-D) study was a randomized controlled trial comparing the improvement of quality of life (QOL) in an aerobic training group, a resistance training group, or a combination of both training groups versus a non-exercise control group for 9 months.
People with impaired glucose tolerance – the precursor to Type 2 diabetes – often show impaired cognitive function that may be alleviated through a diet designed specifically for their condition
According to recent research, type 2 diabetes cannot be cured, but it can go into remission or at least partial remission. Remission means that the symptoms of the disease abate for a period of time.
By now, most people know that skipping breakfast isn’t the best idea. New evidence, however, has revealed another reason to take an extra moment for your morning meal, claiming that missing even one breakfast each week can increase your risk of type-2 diabetes by 20 percent.
People with type 2 diabetes are already known to have a higher risk of cancers, especially blood cancers like lymphoma and leukaemia. The new study, led by scientists at Imperial College London and CNRS in France, suggests that mutations called clonal mosaic events (CMEs) may partly explain why this is.
In 2 phase 3 trials examining the concept of triweekly dosing with the long-acting insulin degludec (Tresiba, Novo Nordisk) in patients with type 2 diabetes, the recipients had inferior glucose control and an increased risk for hypoglycemia.
Insulin sensitizers–drugs that increase sensitivity to insulin such as Avandia and Actos–could help lessen the risk of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) for those with type 2 diabetes, according to a new study.
According to new research presented at the recent 73rd Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association, this nutrient may also help lift mood and lower blood pressure in women who have Type 2 diabetes and depression.
A study of the drug—the prescription pain reliever salsalate—also found it reduced inflammation associated with type 2 diabetes. But it produced unwelcome side effects that could limit its potential as a diabetes treatment.
A new, first-in-its-class drug for type 2 diabetes has just been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Invokana works by blocking re-absorption of glucose by the kidneys and stimulating urination, which removes glucose from the bloodstream.
Attia received an unpleasant medical surprise that led him to wonder: is our understanding of diabetes right? Could the precursors to diabetes cause obesity, and not the other way around?
Data presented at the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 73rd Scientific Sessions® provides insights for use of Trajenta® (linagliptin) in adults with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) with moderate to severe renal impairment
Long-awaited results from a nearly 10-year trial exploring the effect of changes in diet and exercise among people with diabetes weren’t what most people expected.
Moderate-intensity exercise reduces fat stored around the heart, in the liver and in the abdomen of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus, even in the absence of any changes in diet, according to a new study published online in the journal Radiology.
Men who lose sleep during the work week may be able to lower their risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by getting more hours of sleep, according to Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute
A study, out today, shows that moderately-paced walks after meals work as well at regulating overall blood sugar in adults with pre-diabetes as a 45-minute walk once a day.
Levels of estrone are associated with increased risk of incident type 2 diabetes in a cohort of community-dwelling men, according to a study published online May 20 in Diabetes Care.
They contain a man-made version of the hormone glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), which is produced by the intestines and prompts the body to release insulin – the chemical that controls blood sugar levels.
Adopting a Nordic diet can help lower cholesterol and decrease inflammation associated with pre-diabetes, a new study from Lund University reports.
Obesity surgery worked much better at reducing and even reversing diabetes than medication and lifestyle changes in one of the most rigorous studies of its kind. But the researchers and others warn that possible serious complications need to be considered.
