Study conducted in Germany demonstrates all-cause mortality to be doubled in patients with both diagnosed and undiagnosed type 2 diabetes.

T2D diagnosed within last 6 years may be able to achieve remission if substantial weight loss is achieved.

Getting type 2 diabetes at an early age increases risk for all diabetes complications, including death.

How best to decide whether to use one or a combination of the new treatments and individualize the treatment for your patients.

With much of the U.S. in the grip of harsh winter weather as December 2017 comes to a close, we're revisiting a post we originally published in 2013 about how having diabetes or prediabetes can increase the risk of frostbite.

We wish all our readers a healthy, safe, and warm new year!
