“and type 2 diabetes and Parkinson's disease up to 30%, according to a meta-analysis of 127 studies including observational and randomized controlled trials. The one group of people that did not benefit from coffee consumption were pregnant women because it increased the risk of miscarriage.”

“In a study involving patients with type 2 diabetes, Dr. Bikman and his colleagues implemented a targeted dietary intervention. The results were striking: participants experienced a dramatic drop in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) from 8.9% to 5.6%, effectively reversing their diabetic state in just 90 days.”

“From the article: > Using technology that analyses 480 000 positions throughout the genome, they could see that epigenetic changes had taken place in 7,000 genes (an individual has 20-25 000 genes). They then went on to look specifically at the methylation in genes linked to type 2 diabetes and obesity.”

“These short studies show rapid metabolic change, not diabetes diagnosis. Habitual short sleep is associated with higher fasting insulin, glucose, HbA1c, and visceral fat, while both short and long sleep are associated with higher type 2 diabetes risk.”

“Researchers analyzed health records from more than 1.1 million people in Ontario, Canada, who had diabetes and were 66 or older. They created a matched study group of about 139,000 people, comparing those who used GLP-1 receptor agonists for at least six months to similar patients who didn't use the drugs.”

“Insulin Sensitivity, Lactate, and Type 2 Diabetes On the metabolic side, vigorous exercise reduces the risk of diabetes mainly by improving insulin sensitivity (along with potential improvements in body weight and body composition). This happens for two reasons.”

“Preliminary evidence that insulin resistance may play a role in fibromyalgia. People high HbA1c (a biomarker for long-term blood glucose) were significantly more likely to have fibromyalgia even if they did not have type 2 diabetes.”

“Supplements come later. Berberine has promising but uneven type 2 diabetes trial evidence, and alpha-lipoic acid has smaller meta-analytic effects on glycemic markers. Cinnamon and vinegar have weaker and less consistent evidence.”

“Women with type 2 diabetes have a 23% higher risk of developing breast cancer and a 38% higher risk of breast cancer mortality. Additionally, women with the highest quartile of fasting glucose levels have a 60% increased relative breast cancer risk compared to women in the lowest quartile.”

“Such knowledge can help people make crucial dietary and lifestyle modifications, including weight loss, exercise, and stress reduction, that can halt or reverse the progress to type 2 diabetes.”
