Glycemia or glycæmia is the concentration of glucose in the blood. It is usually expressed in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) in the US and other countries. It may also be expressed in millimol per decilitre (mmol/dl) especially in Europe. Both of these are SI units.

Large clinical trial compares four drugs commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes

In a large clinical trial that directly compared four drugs commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes, researchers found that insulin glargine and liraglutide performed the best of four medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to maintain blood glucose levels in the recommended range.

Intensive interventions in type 2 diabetes reduce risk of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy

Intensive interventions to reduce blood glucose and blood pressure levels in type 2 diabetes reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN), a frequent but underdiagnosed complication of diabetes that can be life-threatening.

Study reveals the mechanisms in our brains that lead to satiety after a meal

You just finished a good meal and are feeling full? Researchers from the CNRS, Inrae, University of Burgundy, Université de Paris, Inserm, and University of Luxembourg have just revealed the mechanisms in our brains that lead to this state.

Targeted combinatorial drug treatment restores beta cell function in mice

The loss of the identity of insulin-secreting beta cells in the islet of Langerhans, a process also called beta cell dedifferentiation, has been proposed to be a main reason for the development of diabetes.

Daily intake of non-fried potato linked to better diet quality compared to refined grains

Potatoes are often equated with refined grains due to their carbohydrate content. Yet, potatoes contain fiber, resistant starch, and key micronutrients that Americans need more of in their diet.

Coconut oil increases bad cholesterol

Elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or bad cholesterol level is an established risk factor for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD), including heart disease, hypertension, and stroke. Contrary to current claims that coconut oil can benefit cardiovascular health, a new study combining 16 published research shows that consumption of coconut oil is linked to higher levels of LDL and total cholesterol levels.
