Ketogenic diets and diabetes: A promising match or a questionable pair?

A recent research article in "Diabetes Therapy" examines the effectiveness of ketogenic diets in managing Type 1, Type 2, and gestational diabetes. Despite potential benefits like weight loss and improved glycemic control, the study highlights unresolved issues and the need for more extensive research before incorporating ketogenic diets into clinical guidelines for diabetes management.

Existing drug could be repurposed to treat type 1 diabetes, study suggests

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that causes the body's immune system to attack and destroy insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Traditional management of type 1 diabetes has primarily involved replacing the missing insulin with injections which, though effective, can be expensive and burdensome.
