According to the recent research, diets high in the compound — found in red wine, grapes and chocolate — showed no significant decrease in heart disease, cancer or death.
We know insulin resistance contributes to Type 2 diabetes. But resistance to another hormone called leptin also contributes big time. Fortunately, we may be able to turn down both kinds of resistance.
Do you feel unsure about what to do or how to bring your blood glucose levels down? Are you scared to go out and do things with friends or family because of the fear that diabetes brings you on a daily basis? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then it is time […]
At Insulin Nation, we’ve examined 5 of the most popular diets out there and asked Certified Diabetes Educators and Registered Dietitians to give us their take on what fits for T1 and what doesn’t.
Modern medicine is amazing. Research is in development to help people with so-far-unfixable health problems. While a lot of research is still in its infancy and isn’t quite ready for primetime, we can’t help but marvel at the advances that are improving lives.
Eli Lilly and Co said its type 2 diabetes drug was more effective than Sanofi SA’s approved drug Lantus in reducing patients’ blood sugar levels in three late-stage trials.
Researchers at Sweden’s Linköping University made the conclusion after monitoring 61 diabetic patients who were placed on either on a low-carb diet or a traditional low-fat diet.
Some of us need an extra push to get off the couch, or some reigning in once in a while. For others, finding the balance between too much and too little physical activity comes easily. Below are a few things these people do differently.
Multiple studies have shown that losing between 5% and 10% of body weight can yield some pretty impressive results. Here’s what you might expect from this amount of weight loss.
After a phase III study that showed no reduction in cardiovascular events for those with diabetes, continued trials for the diabetes drug Aleglitazar have been scrapped. The results were revealed at the 2014 American College of Cardiology Scientific Sessions.
In April 2014, researchers with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation UK announced the success of a study that allowed teens with Type 1 diabetes to test artificial pancreas technology in real world conditions.
Reporting in the journal Lancet, public health experts note that the way to prevent those deaths aren’t surprising. But acting on those strategies will take individual and political will. Here’s how the experts hope to do it.
T1D MOMs never have the privilege of turning off their cell phone or going on a hike knowing that the phone might be out of range. We become the designated play date hosts because it’s so difficult to ask other parents to be responsible for our children at their homes.
Short bursts of intense exercise before eating could help people with insulin resistance normalize their blood sugar levels, according to a new small study.
The key ingredient responsible for this protective benefit is chlorogencic acid (CLA), a powerful antioxidant, say researchers from Cornell. The team studied mice whose eyes were treated with nitric oxide, a substance that would create oxidative stress and free radicals, thereby contributing to retinal degeneration in the eyes.
The film explores what it sees as some of the more insidious corporate and political forces behind the rise of childhood obesity, and it examines whether increasing levels of sugar consumption have played an outsized role in the epidemic.
The Institute for Safe Medication Practices performs a watchdog function when it comes to monitoring errors in prescribing and administering drugs throughout the U.S. healthcare system. It recently reported that one hospital has had to test 4,200 patients after learning that they may have received insulin injections from insulin pens previously used on other patients.
The objective of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of adding glimepiride to current insulin therapy in poorly controlled type 2 diabetes – as opposed to using increased insulin dosages.
As we know, all medications have side effects and many medications can interact with either other drugs or the foods that we eat. That makes it all the more important that you both understand why you are taking the drugs you are prescribed and how they work.
You can limit your exposure to plants that give you itchy, watery eyes by finding out what your allergic to and avoiding those plants (in your own garden, at least). An allergist can perform a test — either via a skin prick or by taking blood — to determine what specific allergies you might have.
