For many people living with binge eating disorder and type 2 diabetes, managing blood sugar isn’t just about counting carbohydrates or losing weight. Emotional eating, loss of control around food, and feelings of guilt can quietly interfere with diabetes care, even when someone is taking the right medications. Because of …

Many women with diabetes notice that blood sugar levels become harder to control during certain weeks of the month. Despite eating the same meals, taking the same insulin doses, and maintaining consistent activity levels, glucose readings may suddenly climb. This recurring pattern is often linked to luteal phase insulin resistance, …

For decades, diabetes treatment has centered on medications, insulin therapy, lifestyle changes, and increasingly sophisticated medical devices. But what if a completely different approach could help regulate blood sugar without adding another drug? That intriguing question is driving research into hepatic neuromodulation for diabetes, a promising field that uses focused …

Hospital glucose management has long relied on reactive treatment strategies, especially sliding-scale insulin protocols that respond to blood glucose after it has already risen. While this approach remains common, healthcare systems are increasingly exploring AI solutions for inpatient diabetes care that predict glucose changes before they become dangerous. Instead of …

For more than a century, insulin has saved millions of lives. Yet despite remarkable advances in diabetes technology, one major challenge remains: preventing hypoglycemia while maintaining excellent glucose control. That is why researchers are developing glucose-responsive insulin, often called “smart” insulin. Instead of delivering a fixed amount of insulin regardless …

Imagine screening for diabetes as easily as breathing into a handheld device. That idea is rapidly moving from research laboratories toward clinical reality. Scientists are developing breath tests for diabetes that analyze tiny molecules in exhaled air to identify early metabolic changes long before traditional symptoms develop. Although blood glucose …

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has fundamentally changed diabetes management by giving patients and clinicians access to real-time glucose data. As a result, treatment decisions have become more precise, and many people with diabetes now spend more time within their target glucose range. However, glucose represents only one part of the …

For decades, diabetes management has focused on what patients eat and how much they consume. However, emerging research suggests another factor deserves attention: when they eat. The growing field of chrono-nutrition research in diabetes explores how meal timing interacts with the body’s internal clock to influence glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, …

For decades, A1C has served as the gold standard for assessing long-term glucose control in people with diabetes. However, it tells only part of the story. Researchers are now exploring whether metabolic flexibility could become an important biomarker in diabetes, offering a deeper understanding of metabolic health than A1C alone. …

For decades, diabetes has been grouped into familiar categories such as type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, and several secondary forms. However, growing international recognition of Type 5 diabetes, formerly known as malnutrition-related diabetes, is challenging long-held assumptions about diabetes classification. This newly recognized condition appears to follow …
