Early metformin therapy falls short in curbing gestational diabetes woes

In a significant randomized clinical trial, early metformin therapy was tested for its potential to lessen insulin dependence and enhance glycemic control in gestational diabetes-afflicted pregnant women; however, it yielded no improvements in diabetes symptoms. While metformin reduced maternal weight gain, its effects on primary diabetes symptoms and other secondary outcomes like infant weight gain were mixed, indicating a need for further focused research to unravel these associations.

Walking and Mediterranean diet may be the ticket to reducing dementia risk

The study explores the MedWalk intervention, promoting a Mediterranean-style diet and regular walking, to potentially slow cognitive decline in older adults without existing impairments. Despite COVID-19 disruptions, progress with 157 participants suggests this approach, rooted in psychosocial techniques, could offer a lifestyle-based deterrent against dementia and cognitive deterioration.

Stem cell-derived islet cell therapy shows promise for type 1 diabetes

Six adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) treated with stem cell-derived islet cells (VX-880) have shown improved blood sugar control with three participants achieving insulin independence, according to new research being presented at this year's Annual Meeting of The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), Hamburg (2-6 Oct).

Lower HbA1c threshold could lead to earlier diagnosis, treatment of type 2 diabetes in women under 50

New research to be presented at this year's Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Hamburg, Germany (2-6 October) and published in the journal Diabetes Therapy suggests that the diagnosis threshold for type 2 diabetes (T2D) should be lowered in women aged under 50 years, since natural blood loss through menstruation could be affecting their blood sugar management.
