Taxing SSBs by the amount of sugar could produce greater health benefits and economic gains

Taxing sugar-sweetened beverages by the amount of sugar they contain, rather than by the liquid volume of these drinks, as several U.S. cities currently do, could produce even greater health benefits and economic gains, a team of researchers has concluded.

Resistance to 'hunger hormone' linked with cognitive impairments and memory loss

Scientists at The University of Texas at Dallas have found evidence suggesting that resistance to the "hunger hormone" ghrelin in the brain is linked to the cognitive impairments and memory loss associated with Alzheimer's disease.

World Heart Federation launches new roadmap to reduce global burden of CVD in people with diabetes

At ESC Congress 2019 together with the World Congress of Cardiology, the World Heart Federation launched a new “roadmap” aimed at reducing the global burden of CVD in people living with diabetes.

Unhealthy lifestyle raises heart disease risk more than genetics

A new study has found that an unhealthy lifestyle increases a person’s risk of heart disease significantly more than a person’s genetic make-up.

CRISPR-Cas9 successfully reverses type 2 diabetes in mice

Researchers have used CRISPR-Cas9 to treat obesity and type 2 diabetes in mice, a development that could eventually benefit humans.

Overweight adolescents actually eat less when exposed to stressful events

People often react to stress by binging on sweets or fattening comfort foods, cravings fueled by the appetite-stimulating stress hormone cortisol.

Spending more time standing helps reduce negative consequences of sedentary lifestyle

A study conducted by researchers from the University of Granada recommends spending more time standing to increase energy expenditure and combat the negative health effects of a sedentary lifestyle.

Metabolic surgery improves health in obese diabetics

Paris is hosting the European Society of Cardiology Congress (ESC) meet this year where on the 2nd of September researchers from the Cleveland Clinic reveal that weight loss surgeries in patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes could reduce the risk death and major untoward heart or cardiovascular events or major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).

Discovery may help identify signs of type 1 diabetes earlier

A new study showed that there are significant differences in the MHC class II antigens on the insulin peptide that is deficient in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). These determine the response of the T cells to the insulin peptide that causes destruction of insulin.

Exercise during pregnancy shown to restore metabolic health

A new study has shown that exercise can restore key tissues and reduce the risk of metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes.

New discovery may help identify type 1 diabetes earlier than is currently possible

Type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease that typically emerges before the age of 20, wipes out the body's ability to produce insulin--a hormone that's essential to life. Diagnosis often comes after symptoms arise, at which point the disease has taken hold.

Diet can alter efficacy of type-2 diabetes drug via its action on gut bacteria, study shows

Research published in Cell on 29th August by the groups of Filipe Cabreiro from the MRC London Institute of Medical Sciences and Imperial College and Christoph Kaleta from Kiel University in Germany has demonstrated that diet can alter the effectiveness of a type-2 diabetes drug via its action on gut bacteria.

Islet-on-a-Chip to study the fundamental biology of diabetes

By combining two powerful technologies, scientists are taking diabetes research to a whole new level. In a study led by Harvard University's Kevin Kit Parker, microfluidics and human, insulin-producing beta cells have been integrated in an "Islet-on-a-Chip".

Claims that cesarean sections increase the risk of autism are “highly unlikely”, say experts

Recent research into over 20 million births concluded that babies born by Cesarean section are more likely to develop autism has divided the medical community.

New type 2 diabetes drug associated with reduced risk of heart failure and death

The new type of drugs for type 2 diabetes, the so-called SGLT2 inhibitors, are associated with a reduced risk of heart failure and death as well as of major cardiovascular events, a major Scandinavian registry study led from Karolinska Institutet reports in The BMJ.

MUSC researchers narrow down risk of preeclampsia to a specific phenotype

The force of blood traveling through your arteries and veins determines much of your heart health. High blood pressure can lead to heart disease, heart failure, heart attack, stroke and chronic kidney disease, and when it's coupled with type 1 diabetes and pregnancy, it can put both the mother and the baby at risk.

How much control is too much in type 1 diabetes?

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) affects thousands of children, and causes high sugar levels because of low insulin production. In places with good access to medical care, blood glucose is first measured by capillary blood testing or continuous monitoring. Insulin is given as required by subcutaneous injection or insulin pump.
