Scientists use blood chemistry to predict disease years before it strikes

Researchers built the largest plasma metabolome-phenome atlas using 274,241 UK Biobank participants, linking over 73,000 metabolite-trait and 52,000 metabolite-disease associations. The study shows metabolic risk scores can predict diseases years before diagnosis, with strong accuracy for diabetes and kidney complications.

New trial demonstrates efficacy of tirzepatide in children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes

New research shows that that the diabetes/obesity medication tirzepatide can cause clinically meaningful improvements in blood sugar control and weight loss in children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes aged 10-17 years whose diabetes and weight are inadequately controlled with an existing treatment regimen of metformin, insulin, or both.
