Hyperglycemia News and Research

RSS

Hyperglycemia occurs when you have a higher than usual level of glucose in your blood. This can happen shortly after you have eaten a big meal and is not a problem if your glucose level returns to normal. Cells remove glucose from the blood in response toinsulin. If your pancreas doesn't make enough insulin, glucose can't enter the cells and remains in the blood. Blood glucose levels can also get too high if cells areunable to respond to insulin properly (insulinresistance). Without glucose, your cells are unable to make energy and can't function properly.

Study provides new insights into how SARS-CoV-2 affects glucose metabolism

Research conducted at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil shows that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can infect liver cells (hepatocytes), stimulating glucose production and leading to a condition similar to diabetes (hyperglycemia) in hospitalized patients, even if their blood sugar level was normal before they were admitted to hospital.

Study reveals potential target for repairing beta-cell dysfunction in Type 2 diabetes

Researchers used a murine model to demonstrate that functional excision of murine PITPNA eventually led to hyperglycemia in mice.

Study finds impaired beta cell function associated with severe COVID-19-induced hyperglycemia

A recent study aimed to investigate whether hyperglycemia persisted in COVID-19 survivors during a six-month follow-up.

Research uncovers mechanism linking deep sleep to blood sugar control

Researchers have known that a lack of quality sleep can increase a person's risk of diabetes. What has remained a mystery, however, is why.

Timing, type, and frequency of exercise are crucial components for optimal glycemic control in type 2 diabetes

Exercise plays a crucial role in managing type 2 diabetes, offering potential benefits such as improved glycemic control. This study explores exercise recommendations and their impact on dietary, medication, and behavioral factors for optimal diabetes care.

Researchers uncover the role of glutaminase 2 in glucose homeostasis

Glutaminase 2 (GLS2) is a master regulator of glutaminolysis. GLS2 converts glutamine to glutamate, thereby playing a role in cellular energy production. GLS2 is abundant in the liver, and is also found in pancreatic β-cells. However, the role of GLS2 in pancreatic islets – in which both ɑ- and β- cells are present – associated with glucose metabolism is currently unknown.

Biomarker found in urine could help diagnose acute tubulointerstitial nephritis

In a study led by Johns Hopkins Medicine, in collaboration with Yale School of Medicine, researchers have identified a biomarker found via a simple urine test that can be used to diagnose acute tubulointerstitial nephritis (AIN), a medical condition that causes inflammation of the kidneys and can lead to acute kidney injury (AKI) — a sudden loss of kidney function.

Emotional constructs of anger, impulsivity, and irritability and their impact on life satisfaction

Researchers examined the relationships between irritability, impulsivity, and anger.

New studies show bariatric surgery can improve health for patients with Class 1 obesity

Patient eligibility for bariatric surgery, also called weight-loss or metabolic surgery, has expanded over the last decade and its safety and effectiveness even further established in clinical studies and professional guidelines, but relatively few patients with a body mass index (BMI) below 35 actually get the surgery in any given year, according to new studies presented here at the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) 2023 Annual Scientific Meeting.
