Could metformin be a game changer for heart health in non-diabetics?

Using Mendelian randomization, researchers found that altering seven metformin targets led to improved blood pressure and BMI in non-diabetic individuals. The study suggests the potential for metformin's role in reducing cardiovascular risks in the general population, although more research is needed.

Tirzepatide superior to semaglutide for blood sugar control and body weight loss

A new meta-analysis combining 22 studies, 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), shows that tirzepatide is superior to semaglutide for both control of blood sugar and in terms of amount of body weight lost by patients.

Physical activity patterns associated with changes in cardiometabolic risk factors during adolescence

A follow-up study found unfavorable changes in glucose metabolism, HDL cholesterol levels, and body mass index in adolescents whose physical activity decreased between the ages of 15 and 19. Reduced blood pressure were observed among adolescents with increased physical activity.

Is morning exercise the key to dodging diabetes?

Harvard researchers find that morning and afternoon physical activity significantly lowers the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, but evening activity shows no such benefit. The study also emphasizes that intensity matters more than consistency in reducing diabetes risk.

Flagellin immunization protects mice from detrimental effects of dietary emulsifiers

In a new study, mice whose immune systems were trained against the microbial protein flagellin did not experience the usual detrimental effects of ingesting food additive emulsifiers, pointing to a potential new way to combat various chronic inflammatory diseases.

Researchers challenge WHO's sweetener guidelines, call for urgent re-evaluation

Researchers question WHO guidelines on non-sugar sweeteners, citing a reliance on biased prospective cohort studies over randomized controlled trials. The study calls for an urgent re-evaluation of WHO's stance, as recent evidence suggests non-sugar sweeteners may actually reduce cardiometabolic risks.

Is maple syrup the ultimate natural sweetener? Researchers say it's more than just tasty!

Scientists explore the myriad benefits of maple syrup, revealing its nutritional, pharmacological, and sensory advantages over traditional sweeteners. From antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to controlling blood sugar and even potential anticancer effects, maple syrup is more than just a tasty topping.

Both high- and normal-protein diets are effective for weight loss in adults with Type 2 diabetes

New findings from the University of Alabama at Birmingham indicate that the type of protein in the diet is not as important as the overall amount of weight loss for those with Type 2 diabetes.

Are night owls at higher risk for diabetes?

Night owls face a 19% higher risk of developing diabetes compared to early birds, even after accounting for lifestyle factors, according to a study from Brigham and Women's Hospital. The research highlights the importance of sleep patterns in diabetes risk and suggests more personalized work scheduling could be beneficial.

Buck Institute receives $3.5 million federal grant to lead clinical trial of ketone intervention in older adults

The Buck Institute for Research on Aging has received a $3.5 million federal grant to lead the first-ever double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial to understand the effects of ketone ester supplementation on frailty, a condition of vulnerability which develops following age-related decline in multiple physiological systems.

CPAP use reduces risk of death from cardiovascular disease in sleep apnea patients

People suffering with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) can reduce their risk of dying from cardiovascular disease if they use a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine at night, according to research presented at the European Respiratory Society International Congress in Milan, Italy.

Unlocking the genetic code of blood sugar reveals new diabetes risks and lung complications

The study used a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to analyze random glucose levels in nearly half a million non-diabetic subjects, uncovering 150 distinct genetic signals, including 53 new ones, linked to glycemic traits and type 2 diabetes. The research also discovered a causal effect of random glucose and type 2 diabetes on lung function, identifying lung dysfunction as a new diabetes complication.
