“They typically mimic the sensory profile of meat products and are popular among those wishing to reduce their animal protein intake for ethical or health reasons. A recent study found that plant-based meat substitutes did not benefit cardiometabolic health in people at risk for type 2 diabetes.”

“Short-chain fatty acids improve symptoms of diabetes, but branched-chain amino acids have the converse effect The study involved both humans and mice. The human study included 39 overweight or obese men with prediabetes who were between the ages of 20 and 60 years.”

“Researchers analyzed electronic health records from more than 60,000 adults in the United States who had both type 2 diabetes and obesity. All participants began treatment with semaglutide, tirzepatide, or another type of antidiabetic medication between late 2017 and mid-2024.”

“Researchers investigated whether drinking a ketone supplement before a meal could improve these metabolic swings. The research consisted of two carefully controlled crossover studies in adult patients with type 2 diabetes who were treated with lifestyle changes or metformin.”

“Each 10% reduction in visceral fat during the intervention was also associated with a 28% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes during follow-up. Changes in waist size, subcutaneous fat, liver fat, and pancreatic fat were not clearly related to new type 2 diabetes diagnoses.”

“Type 1 diabetes risk is greatly increased in mice that were given three courses of antibiotics during early life and were already genetically predisposed to the autoimmune disease.
