“A recent study found that high-protein, low-calorie diets promote weight loss and improve cardiometabolic markers in people at risk for type 2 diabetes. The study involved 117 adults with either prediabetes or type 2 diabetes and a body mass index (BMI) over 27.5—considered overweight or obese.”

“FTA: > People diagnosed with diabetes in midlife are more likely to experience significant memory and cognitive problems during the next 20 years than those with healthy blood sugar levels, new research suggests. The study is believed to be the longest of its kind following a cross-section of adults as they age.”

“FTA: > A unique connection between diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease has been uncovered by researchers, providing further evidence that a disease that robs people of their memories may be affected by elevated blood sugar.”

“Indolepropionic acid was also associated with better preservation of β-cell function. The study also found that several forms of phosphatidylcholine were also inversely associated with type 2 diabetes.”

“A new study tested whether working by a window, rather than under typical office lighting, changes blood sugar control and how the body uses energy in people with type 2 diabetes. The study involved 13 older adults with type 2 diabetes who completed two tightly controlled, 4.5-day stays in a research facility.”

“A diet high in fermentable fiber (fruits/veggies) produced compounds called short-chain fatty acids which had a beneficial effect on the immune system and protected against type 1 diabetes in animals.”

“FTA: > Replacing the daily consumption of one serving of a sugary drink with either water or unsweetened tea or coffee can lower the risk of developing diabetes by between 14 percent and 25 percent, concludes new research.”

“FTA: > An analysis of the genomes and epigenomes of lean and obese mice and humans has turned up a wealth of clues about how genes and the environment conspire to trigger diabetes, researchers say.”

“As their use expands, researchers are exploring their potential beyond diabetes and obesity, including heart and kidney health and addiction treatment. But with their rise in popularity come important questions about long-term effects and safe use.”

“The findings suggest that people with type 2 diabetes can achieve important muscle and metabolic benefits without lifting heavy weights. Larger studies are needed to confirm whether this approach is effective and practical for broader clinical populations.”
