Overweight patients with diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance who had moderate glycemic levels prior to starting a short-term workout program achieved better glycemic control than those with higher glycemic levels at baseline, researchers found.
For obese adults who do not use non-nutritive sweetener (NNS), sucralose affects the glycemic and insulin responses to an oral glucose load, according to a study published online April 30 in Diabetes Care.
People have differing abilities to release and react to insulin depending on ethnicity, according to a new study from researchers at Lund University in Sweden, Stanford University and Kitasato University.
