“FTA: > A crucial link between high levels of insulin and pathways that lead to obesity has been discovered by researchers, a finding that may have important implications when treating diabetes. The discovery was made by studying mice engineered to lack receptors for a hormone called glucagon.”

“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.”

“A low protein diet (9% of total calories) caused changes in testicular epigenetics and males had offspring that were overweight with symptoms of type 2 diabetes and reduced activation of genes which regulate fat metabolism (mouse study).”

“Certain species of gut bacteria produced short-chain fatty acids such as acetate and butyrate which have been shown to improve glucose homeostasis by inducing gut production of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) which in turn stimulate insulin secretion.”

“"Crucially, obesity, a key trigger for type 2 diabetes, was not an important trigger in women with PCOS.". Often PCOS is undiagnosed. Symptoms can include irregular periods, weight gain, excessive facial hair and acne.”

“Berberine's effects are similar to those of metformin, a medication for type 2 diabetes, and it may exert anti-aging properties. However, most research on berberine has been conducted on animals, with limited human trials available.”

“People with type 2 diabetes demonstrate markers of mitochondrial dysfunction, characterized by 40% lower mitochondrial respiration and enlarged, fragmented mitochondria, indicative of mitochondrial damage. These structural and functional changes are correlated with insulin resistance.”

“Poor sleep negatively affects metabolism, impairing glucose tolerance and increasing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Findings from a recent study indicate that HIIT compensates for the harmful effects of sleep loss on glucose tolerance.”

“The molecules rearrange, forming brown polymers (a process known as the Maillard reaction) and creating the deep flavors of browned barley in beer, roasted coffee, seared meats, and French fries. This review summarizes the current evidence indicating that high dietary intake of AGEs contributes to the development of type 2 diabetes.”

“Metabolic syndrome is a constellation of disorders that includes high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess abdominal fat, and abnormal cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Having metabolic syndrome increases a person's risk for developing cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and premature death.”
