| | Studying Obesity-Related Metabolic Disorders with MRI Techniques
MRI techniques are highly versatile and are increasingly being used to study various aspects of obesity. In this webinar, listen to Dr. S. Sendhil Velan from the Singapore Bioimaging Consortium as he explains how MR Imaging can be used to image fat partitioning during obesity and better understand the pathophysiology of diabetes.

| | | | A new study shows that the timing of onset of obesity is linked to the risk of type 2 diabetes. The paper, published in the journal Diabetologia, examines how the direction of BMI change, as well as the age when obesity began and the number of years a person is obese (obese-years, the product of degree and duration of obesity) over the period of early adult life are reflected in diabetes risk. | | | | Patients with type 2 diabetes improve their ability to regulate blood sugar levels if they eat food with a reduced carbohydrate content and an increased share of protein and fat. | | | | Researchers have developed a new way to monitor blood sugar levels that could replace the needle-prick method that people with diabetes currently use. | | | | New results from The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young study show an association between prolonged enterovirus infection and the development of autoimmunity to the insulin-producing pancreatic beta-cells that precedes type 1 diabetes. | | | | In Belize, where diabetes is rampant, patients need insulin every day to maintain proper blood sugar levels. But if people lack electricity or a refrigerator, they cannot store insulin at home. | |
