  • Study Indicates Type 2 Diabetes Operates Differently Across Weight Profiles
    Study Indicates Type 2 Diabetes Operates Differently Across Weight Profiles Research published today in Diabetologia by Amsterdam UMC and the University of Ghana reveals that type 2 diabetes manifests in two fundamentally different ways depending on a patient's body mass index (BMI). While type 2 diabetes in patients with a higher BMI is primarily driven by insulin resistance, the study demonstrates that in individuals within a lower BMI range, the condition is caused by the pancreas failing to produce sufficient insulin. Despite these opposing biological mechanisms, medical professionals currently treat both groups with the exact same medications.
  • From Mouse to Human: New Study Reveals How Calorie Restriction Benefits Metabolism
    From Mouse to Human: New Study Reveals How Calorie Restriction Benefits Metabolism Long-term moderate calorie restriction doesn’t just help with weight control, it can significantly improve blood sugar metabolism. New results from the CALERIE trial show that in humans, as in mice, calorie restriction works through the adiponectin–ceramide pathway, enhancing insulin sensitivity and potentially lowering the risk of type 2 diabetes.
