Early hyperglycemia may influence cancer risk after type 2 diabetes diagnosis. See what a large cohort study found about early glycemic exposure.

Metformin B12 deficiency can cause numbness that resembles diabetic neuropathy. Learn who is at risk, when to test B12, and why early detection matters.

The Pivot Insulin Delivery System received a new FDA clearance in September 2026. Learn what changed and what clinicians should know.

New research challenges assumptions about the exocrine pancreas in type 2 diabetes and what pancreatic findings may mean for clinical care.

Discover how red blood cell lifespan and biology can affect A1C results, explaining why similar glucose levels may produce different A1C readings.

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 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 …

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 …

GLP-1 receptor agonists have transformed the treatment of type 2 diabetes, but their effects on gastrointestinal motility remain an important clinical consideration. Opioids can also slow gastrointestinal function, raising an obvious question: what happens when patients need both? New research examining GLP-1 and opioid interactions suggests that opioid choice may …

A patient develops diabetes in adulthood, so Type 2 diabetes may seem like the obvious diagnosis. However, what if that patient also has chronic pancreatitis, unexplained weight loss, pancreatic surgery, or symptoms of poor nutrient absorption? Those details can change the clinical picture. Careful evaluation can reveal Type 3c diabetes …
