Keith Poulsen's jaw dropped when farmers showed him images on their cellphones at the World Dairy Expo in Wisconsin in October.

Until now, scientists have been unable to determine how metformin, a Type 2 diabetes medication that lowers blood sugar, works. A study provided direct evidence in mice that it reversibly cuts the cell's energy supply by interfering with mitochondria to lower glucose levels.

Researchers studied oxygen treatment as a potential therapy to target specific cells linked to the development of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders like high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes and found no significant improvement in function in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Endocannabinoids in the brain play a key role in food intake and energy use. Modulating the action of these molecules could help fight obesity, say researchers.

Craniopharyngiomas are brain tumors that negatively impact the hormonal function of the nearby pituitary. The tumor location often prevents necessary surgical intervention. Alternative pharmacological therapy requires an in-depth understanding of the tumor molecular characteristics. To address this gap, researchers analyzed gene expression within individual tumor cells. This study reports the molecular features and interactions of tumor and immune cells associated with two craniopharyngioma subtypes that will help identify future targeted therapeutics.

Imagine an insulin that became more or less effective when your blood sugar levels went up or down.

New research highlights the possibility of screening people with type 2 diabetes for liver damage at the same time as they undergo screening for eye disease.

This incredible keto turtle cheesecake is a decadent dessert for anyone on a keto diet or low-carb journey.

Some patients with diabetes develop a serious condition known as diabetic cardiomyopathy, which is slow and cannot be directly attributed to hypertension or other cardiovascular disorders. This often under-diagnosed heart function impairment is one of the leading causes of death in diabetic patients and it affects both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. There is no current specific drug treatment or clinical protocol approved to address this disease.

Chronic kidney disease can lead to inaccurate A1C readings due to anemia and changes in red blood cell production.

If you have unused diabetes supplies that you no longer need, don’t throw them away. There are ways you can donate your supplies and help others with diabetes across the world.

Scientists have unveiled a novel compound, HPH-15, with dual effects of reducing blood glucose levels and combating fat accumulation, marking a significant leap in diabetes treatment innovation.

First-of-its-kind sensor monitors fluctuating proteins within the body in real time. In an animal study, device accurately tracked biomarkers of inflammation. Device also could track protein markers for other illnesses, including heart failure.

When the immune system overreacts and starts attacking the body, the only option may be to shut the entire system down and risk developing infections or cancer.

Consuming dark, but not milk, chocolate may be associated with lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D), according to a new study.

Using significantly higher doses of vitamin D than recommended for five years did not affect the incidence of type 2 diabetes in elderly men and women, according to a new study.

A cancer therapy that prompts the body's immune defenses against viruses and bacteria to attack tumors can make patients more vulnerable to heart attack and stroke. A possible explanation for this side effect is that the treatment interferes with immune regulation in the heart's largest blood vessels, a new study suggests.

In June of 2024, the Endocrine Society, influenced by a substantial body of research conducted in recent years, published new clinical practice guidelines for the testing and supplementation of Vitamin D for the prevention of disease. These new recommendations included limiting vitamin D supplementation beyond the daily recommended intake to specific risk groups and advised against routine 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] testing in healthy individuals.

Why muscle health is a big deal in type 2 diabetes, and what to do about it.

Factors beyond carbohydrates have a substantial influence on blood glucose levels meaning current automated insulin delivery systems miss vital information required for glucose regulation, a new study has found.

The food additive carrageenan (E 407) can be responsible for the development of chronic inflammatory bowel disease, ulcers, and increased blood sugar levels in animals. Researchers have now investigated the effects of carrageenan on the human intestine and sugar metabolism. They found increased permeability of the small intestine, most likely due to intestinal inflammation.

Chronic diseases such as diabetes are on the rise and are costly and challenging to treat. Scientists have discovered a common denominator driving these diverse diseases, which may prove to be a promising therapeutic target: proteolethargy, or reduced protein mobility, in the presence of oxidative stress.

A large new population study of men over 45 indicates insulin resistance may be an important risk factor for the development of the world's most common heart valve disease -- aortic stenosis (AS).

A genetic predisposition to having lower insulin production and less healthy fat distribution are major causes of early-onset type 2 diabetes in British Asian people. According to research, these genetic factors also lead to quicker development of health complications, earlier need for insulin treatment, and a weaker response to some medications.

In 2021, a research team discovered the insulin-inhibitory receptor 'Inceptor' and its role as a suppressor of the insulin signaling pathway. Now, the researchers have unlocked another, even more significant function of the receptor: it binds insulin and directs its breakdown within beta cells. This discovery could lead to new therapeutic approaches that not only strengthen beta cell function but also enable a causal treatment for diabetes.
