    Could the carbohydrates eaten at breakfast affect the blood sugar response to lunch? Research on resistant starch and the second-meal effect suggests they might. Resistant starch escapes much of the digestion that normally occurs in the small intestine. As a result, less of it is immediately converted to glucose, while …

    Diabetes complications are often discussed in terms of the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves. However, diabetes can also affect joints and connective tissue. Adhesive capsulitis, or frozen shoulder, is one diabetes-related complication that deserves more attention. It can begin with ordinary shoulder pain and gradually make simple movements surprisingly difficult. …

    Time-restricted eating has become a popular approach to weight management, but what happens when insulin-dependent diabetes enters the picture? Until recently, evidence on time-restricted eating in people with type 1 diabetes was notably limited. A new randomized controlled trial published in Diabetes Care offers some of the first direct evidence. …

    Could continuous glucose monitoring do more than improve glucose levels and help prevent hypoglycemia? New research raises that possibility. A large observational study examining CGM use and mortality in people with type 1 diabetes found that starting continuous glucose monitoring was associated with a lower risk of death among older …

    Low Potassium, Higher Diabetes Risk? A Surprising Clue From Heart Failure Research

    Low potassium and diabetes risk illustrated with a glucose meter, potassium-rich foods, heart model, and pancreas.
    6,769 views

    Low potassium is usually viewed through a cardiovascular lens, especially in patients with heart failure. However, emerging evidence suggests clinicians may have another reason to pay attention. New research examining the relationship between hypokalemia and diabetes risk found that lower serum potassium levels were associated with a greater risk of …

    When “Normal” Blood Sugar Feels Too Low: New Research May Explain Why

    1,199 views

    When glucose numbers improve, patients are expected to feel better. Yet some people with type 1 diabetes report the opposite. A glucose level that looks reassuring on a continuous glucose monitor may leave them feeling tired, uncomfortable, or simply “off.” New research suggests that glycemic habituation may help explain this …

    SGLT Inhibitors Protect the Heart and Kidneys: Why Is Type 1 Diabetes Still the Exception?

    SGLT inhibitor medication with glucose monitoring supplies and heart and kidney imagery representing potential cardiorenal benefits in type 1 diabetes.
    1,811 views

    SGLT inhibitors have changed the treatment landscape for cardiovascular and kidney disease, particularly in people with type 2 diabetes, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. That success raises an obvious question: why are SGLT inhibitors in type 1 diabetes still largely outside routine clinical practice? The answer is not a …

    Beyond Pain Relief: Can Spinal Cord Stimulation Restore Sensation in Diabetic Neuropathy?

    Medical illustration of spinal cord stimulation for diabetic neuropathy showing nerve pathways, foot sensation, and an implanted stimulator.
    1,383 views

    For people with painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN), treatment has traditionally focused on controlling burning, stabbing, and shooting pain. However, emerging research on spinal cord stimulation for diabetic neuropathy raises a more intriguing question: Could neuromodulation also improve sensation? Results from the SENZA-PDN clinical trial suggest that some patients receiving high-frequency …

    Could a Simple Blood Test Predict a Heart Event in Type 2 Diabetes?

    Blood sample illustrating epigenetic cardiovascular risk prediction using DNA methylation to assess heart risk in type 2 diabetes.
    1,736 views

    Could a routine blood sample someday reveal cardiovascular danger that cholesterol, blood pressure, and HbA1c do not fully capture? New research suggests that epigenetic cardiovascular risk prediction could offer a new way to identify people with type 2 diabetes who face a higher short-term risk of major cardiovascular events. Instead …
