“Type 2 diabetes is a progressive metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels and insulin resistance. Long-term complications from poorly controlled type 2 diabetes include heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure, among others.”

“These findings support long-term weight-loss, including bariatric surgery, as a strategy to reduce type 2 diabetes and cancer risk among adults with obesity. Link to full publication.

“But new research shows that supplemental vitamin K2 also improves diabetes markers. People with type 2 diabetes who took supplemental vitamin K2 had better markers of glycemic control than those who took a placebo. Researchers performed a three-part study in humans and mice.”

“Over the two-decade follow-up period, both lifestyle changes and metformin treatment continued to lower the risk of diabetes. People in the lifestyle group were about 24% less likely to develop diabetes than those in the placebo group, while those taking metformin were about 17% less likely.”

“Older adults with untreated type 2 diabetes had higher CSF tau than those without diabetes or those with treated type 2 diabetes. This study also found that people with untreated diabetes had a more rapid progression to dementia than people without diabetes.”

“The participants who took broccoli sprout extract and whose diabetes was well-controlled experienced no changes in their fasting blood sugar or HbA1c levels. The participants who were heaviest and had poorly controlled diabetes saw the greatest benefits from the broccoli sprout extract.”

“A recent study found that lifestyle interventions reduce the risk of developing diabetes, especially among those at high genetic risk. The study involved nearly 1,000 middle-aged men with metabolic syndrome—a constellation of health conditions that increases the for diabetes.”

“A recent study found that nearly half of people with type 2 diabetes suffer from multiple micronutrient deficiencies, with vitamin D being the most prevalent. Researchers analyzed data from studies investigating links between micronutrient deficiencies and type 2 diabetes.”

“However, a new study shows that higher vitamin K1 intake may also reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. People with higher K1 intake were more than 30 percent less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those with lower intake.”
