“At baseline, 57 percent of the participants had normal glucose tolerance, 30 percent had impaired glucose tolerance, and 13 percent met the criteria for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.”

“A metabolic byproduct of sugar metabolism called methylglyoxal has been linked to age-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer. People that were fasted for one night and had higher levels of acetoacetate also had higher levels of a compound called 3-HHD which forms through the detoxification process of methylglyoxal.”

“Exercise is more effective than medicine in reducing visceral fat according to a meta-analysis of 17 randomized controlled trials. Visceral fat is also known as abdominal fat and is involved in systemic inflammation through the production of adipokines. Visceral fat is linked to type 2 diabetes, certain types of cancer, heart disease and more.”

“This new technology has broad implications for treatment of many age-related diseases like Parkinson's, ALS, type 1 diabetes and more. The reprogramming different cells into pluripotent stem cells that can form any cell type in the body along with gene editing (CRISPR) that can remove a faulty gene and replace with normal gene is world-changing!”

“This is real-world observable. In fact, sleeping less than seven hours per night has been associated with either having diabetes or eventually developing the condition. The problem is multifactorial.”

“Inadequate sleep is also associated with increased preference for sweets and high-fat foods, increased inflammation, high blood pressure, and cognitive problems (less alert and have difficulty concentrating, reasoning and solving problems).”

“Their infants also weighed, on average, 240 grams (approximately half a pound) less at birth. While strict vegetarian diets were linked to lower gestational weight gain, they did not affect the risk of gestational diabetes or hypertensive disorders.”

“Researchers find that the compound does so 'by mimicking a low-carb diet in elderly mice reflecting human retirees.' In addition, the results of the study seemed to give some indication of protection from diabetes, a life-threatening disease most prevalent amongst the elderly.”

“This is an observational study which means this is only a correlation. The study did account for weight, smoking or drinking habits, income level and medication use, histories of high blood pressure, diabetes, physical activity, and sleep/wake patterns.”

“Disruptions in circadian rhythm have been shown to have many negative health consequences such as increased type 2 diabetes risk and cancer risk.”
