Every time there is a new consensus guide to diabetes or cardiovascular care from the experts we want to update our practices. Often we look to see who the authors are in order to validate the guidelines.

I recently co-chaired a new consensus statement from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) that is an update from the 2010 joint ACSM/American Diabetes Association position statement on physical activity/exercise for individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). A lot more research has been conducted in the ensuing decade since the joint position statement was published, and this new consensus statement summarizes the current evidence.
New study findings reveal the hepatocyte known as follistatin is linked to hyperglycemia when found at elevated levels.
Patients who suffer from mild to extreme mental health stress are less likely to participate in self-care behavior for diabetes.
Diabetes or prediabetes may put a patient at higher risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
Like medication, exercise can be dosed based on the characteristics of the individual to increase its benefits and reduce side effects, substantially affecting glycemic control.
