Type 2 Diabetes

There is a significant and consistent association between pregnancy loss and later type 2 diabetes.

Patients with OSA during REM sleep experience lower oxygen saturation and longer times with oxygen saturation.

Individuals with obstructive sleep apnea were more frequently male, obese, and had more coronary heart disease when compared to those without OSA.

Two colleagues from the Lewis Katz School of Medicine discuss the promise of AI to detect diabetic retinopathy.

New research suggests there may be a link between elevated fasting blood glucose levels and cognitive decline after a stroke.

New research suggests the prevalence of depression and anxiety is greater among patients with diabetic retinopathy.

The findings can lead to new interventions to prevent the development of diabetes in older men.

Australian researchers have new evidence that patients with diabetes have fewer cardiovascular events today than they did 20 years ago.  The data came from an analysis of the Freemantle diabetes study which compared people with type 2 diabetes to people without diabetes.  The results were recently published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.

The use of a commonly prescribed diabetes drug known as a sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor to treat type 2 diabetes may help to lower the risk of serious kidney problems.

According to a new study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, African Americans with sleep disturbances are much more likely to experience changes in glucose metabolism which could predispose them to diabetes.

New research suggests severe sleep apnea was linked to increased blood glucose levels in African-Americans.

A study published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism says exposure to the cold for brief periods may help people with brown adipose tissue burn 15 percent more calories.

It's the ultimate goal for diabetes researchers: restoring the lost insulin producing function of the islet cells of the pancreas.  And finally, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, may be one step closer to realizing that dream.

ABG-023 overcomes the limitations glucagon because it remains stable in solutions.

New research from the Joslin Diabetes Center helps illuminate the process of glucose toxicity in pancreatic beta cells. Observing the behavior of these cells in lab rats following parial pancreatectomy, researchers were able to observe how small consistent rises in blood sugar levels typical of pre-diabetes caused changes in gene expression that impeded the ability of beta cells to produce insulin.

In the midst of the coronovirus epidemic, managing diabetes is now more important - and perhaps more challenging -than ever.   Even in the best of times, primary care physicians sometimes struggle to effectively treat patients with diabetes. However, patient fears, and restrictions in day-to-day life due to social distancing may make it more difficult for patients to get medications, arrive at appointments, or stay on track with physical activity and healthy eating.

For years the controversy regarding the connection between reproductive health and body mass index has raged on, leaving women and their doctors with more questions than answers.  Are overweight women less fertile? Does primary ovarian insufficiency increase risks for obesity and diabetes?

Sugar substitutes sure taste sweet, but let’s be honest, they’re never quite as satisfying as the real thing.  And until now, science has never been able to explain why.  But recently, researchers at Columbia University’s Zuckerman Institute have discovered neurons in the brains of mice that respond to sugar – not only on the tongue, but also in the gut.

Bhatt leads discussion on a new AHA statement regarding one of the most advancing fields of cardiovascular care.

A discussion about a recent scientific statement outlining the treatment of coronary artery disease in type 2 diabetics from the AHA with statement co-author Deepak Bhatt, MD.

Deepak Bhatt, MD, MPH, executive director of Interventional Cardiovascular Programs at Brigham and Women’s Hospital talks with HCPLive's Patrick Campbell about the American Heart Association's recommendations from the lipid management portion oftheir scientific statement discussing both coronary artery disease (CAD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Investigators compare cesarean delivery to vaginal delivery to understand the association between delivery type and obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Investigators from Saint Louis University discuss a new comparison of 2 drug classes that could reduce the risk of adverse cardiovascular events.
