Is maple syrup the ultimate natural sweetener? Researchers say it's more than just tasty!

Scientists explore the myriad benefits of maple syrup, revealing its nutritional, pharmacological, and sensory advantages over traditional sweeteners. From antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to controlling blood sugar and even potential anticancer effects, maple syrup is more than just a tasty topping.

COVID-19 doubles risk of early type 1 diabetes signs in high-risk children

New research in JAMA finds a temporal association between SARS-CoV-2 infections and the onset of islet autoimmunity, a precursor to type 1 diabetes, in genetically predisposed infants. The study underscores COVID-19 as a potential risk factor for the development of this form of diabetes in young children.

Both high- and normal-protein diets are effective for weight loss in adults with Type 2 diabetes

New findings from the University of Alabama at Birmingham indicate that the type of protein in the diet is not as important as the overall amount of weight loss for those with Type 2 diabetes.

“Inverse vaccine” shows promise to reverse autoimmune diseases without shutting down rest of the immune system

A new type of vaccine developed by researchers at the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) has shown in the lab setting that it can completely reverse autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, and Crohn's disease - all without shutting down the rest of the immune system.

Are night owls at higher risk for diabetes?

Night owls face a 19% higher risk of developing diabetes compared to early birds, even after accounting for lifestyle factors, according to a study from Brigham and Women's Hospital. The research highlights the importance of sleep patterns in diabetes risk and suggests more personalized work scheduling could be beneficial.

Research sheds light on the role of lipidome in human physiology

The sequencing of the human genome promised a revolution in medicine, but scientists soon realized that a genetic blueprint alone does not show the body in action.

Buck Institute receives $3.5 million federal grant to lead clinical trial of ketone intervention in older adults

The Buck Institute for Research on Aging has received a $3.5 million federal grant to lead the first-ever double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial to understand the effects of ketone ester supplementation on frailty, a condition of vulnerability which develops following age-related decline in multiple physiological systems.

CPAP use reduces risk of death from cardiovascular disease in sleep apnea patients

People suffering with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) can reduce their risk of dying from cardiovascular disease if they use a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine at night, according to research presented at the European Respiratory Society International Congress in Milan, Italy.

Unlocking the genetic code of blood sugar reveals new diabetes risks and lung complications

The study used a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to analyze random glucose levels in nearly half a million non-diabetic subjects, uncovering 150 distinct genetic signals, including 53 new ones, linked to glycemic traits and type 2 diabetes. The research also discovered a causal effect of random glucose and type 2 diabetes on lung function, identifying lung dysfunction as a new diabetes complication.

Racial and ethnic inequities are substantial in type 2 diabetes after gestational diabetes, study shows

Racial and ethnic inequities in diabetes have been established following gestational diabetes, but these inequities are substantial and have been an overlooked facet of maternal health equity, according to a new study by epidemiologist Teresa Janevic, PhD, associate professor of Epidemiology at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. Until now there was limited research on racial and ethnic disparities in type 2 diabetes after gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
