Injectable peptide used for type 2 diabetes shows potential for treating 'blinding' IIH headaches

Patients with 'blinding' headaches known as Idiopathic Intercranial Hypertension could be treated with an injectable peptide used for type 2 diabetes, a new trial has found.

Insulin deficiency leads to reduced pancreas size in type 1 diabetes

Individuals with Type 1 diabetes have a smaller pancreas than people without diabetes. This is surprising because insulin-producing beta cells account for just a small fraction of the pancreas, so the loss of beta cells in Type 1 diabetes would not be expected to reduce pancreas size.

New insight into the possible ASD-cardiometabolic diseases link

A study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from 2009 to 2017 determined that approximately 1 in 44 children ages 3-17 are diagnosed with some form of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Light exposure before bedtime may be a easily modifiable risk factor of gestational diabetes

Pregnant persons should dim the lights in their home and turn off or at least dim their screens (computer monitors and smartphones) a few hours before bedtime to reduce the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus, a new Northwestern Medicine study shows.

A small protein could provide a revolutionary approach to tackling obesity-related diseases

Research published today shows that a peptide (small protein) called PEPITEM could provide a revolutionary approach to reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes and other obesity-related diseases such as hepatic steatosis (fatty liver).

Why does insulin cost so much? Big Pharma isn’t the only player driving prices

Eli Lilly & Co.'s announcement that it is slashing prices for its major insulin products could make life easier for some diabetes patients while easing pressure on Big Pharma.

Statin-related residual inflammation predicts cardiovascular events and mortality

A recent Lancet study assessed the importance of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) as risk predictors of cardiovascular death, cardiovascular events, and all-cause death among patients subjected to statins.

Additive effects of genetic, socioeconomic factors account for the prevalence of type 2 diabetes and obesity

New research led by investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital, a founding member of Mass General Brigham, indicates that socioeconomic and genetic factors likely interact in an additive way to affect people's risks of developing obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Analysis reveals an increasing trend in incidence of youth-onset type 1 and type 2 diabetes

New findings from researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine confirm that the rates of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes continue to increase in children and young adults. Non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic children and young adults also had higher incidence rates of diabetes.
