“Findings from a new study suggest that changes in brain blood use contribute to sensory and motor deficits associated with type 2 diabetes. Poor blood glucose control and insulin resistance – the hallmarks of type 2 diabetes – contribute to micro- and macrovascular changes in blood vessels.”

“Consequently, eating in the late evening or nighttime hours may increase a person's risk of developing chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes. A recent study found that nighttime eating increased the risk of premature death from diabetes by as much as 131 percent.”

“Type 2 diabetes is becoming increasingly common among younger adults, shifting from its traditional association with older populations. A recent study found that the age at which a person develops type 2 diabetes influences their risk of developing dementia, with obesity more than tripling risk, especially at younger ages.”

“Disruptions in circadian rhythms can lead to metabolic impairments, increasing the risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. A recent study found that personal light exposure patterns predict the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.”

“However, a recent study found that fats and proteins also stimulate insulin secretion, potentially affecting people with type 2 diabetes. Researchers collected pancreatic islet cells responsible for insulin secretion from 140 donors after their deaths.”

“Type 2 diabetes affects 9% of the global population and was once known as adult-onset diabetes but is now found in young adults and children. While this particular study was small and involved the drastic procedure of bariatric surgery, other studies have shown that weight loss through diet and exercise can also reverse type 2 diabetes.”

“Their insulin sensitivity and levels of hormones involved in glucose metabolism increased, as well. Catechins are polyphenolic compounds found in tea, cocoa, and berries. Evidence suggests that catechins ameliorate symptoms associated with diabetes.”

“The researchers accounted for a wide range of factors, including diet, physical activity, obesity, and socioeconomic status. The analysis identified a clear association between frequent intake of sweetened beverages and a higher risk of type 2 diabetes.”

“Sugar-sweetened beverages contribute to weight gain and increase the risk of severe health concerns, such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. A recent study revealed that in 2020, sugar-sweetened drinks were linked to 2.2 million new cases of type 2 diabetes and 1.2 million new cases of cardiovascular disease globally.”

“Magnesium is an essential mineral and a cofactor for hundreds of the body's enzymes. Magnesium deficiency is linked with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and metabolic disorders, including hypertension and type 2 diabetes.”
