Yoga proven to stimulate the organs to improve metabolic activities leading to efficient chemical transformations within a cell.

Study answers question of just how effective is a SGLT-2 inhibitor with metformin.

Prediabetes, previously undiagnosed diabetes patients interviewed.

Glucose-lowering drugs and insulin resistance: Which one of the following categories of glucose-lowering drugs improves insulin resistance as its primary mechanism of action? A. Sulfonylureas (e.g. glipizide) B. Thiazolidinediones (e.g. pioglitazone) C. GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g. liraglutide) D. DPP-4 inhibitors (e.g. sitagliptin) E. SGLT-2 inhibitors (e.g. canagliflozin) Follow the link to see the correct answer!

We are reviewing a new product that can tell if your insulin has been exposed to extreme temperatures. So can you please answer the question: Have you had any patients whose insulin lost its effectiveness due to being exposed to extreme temperatures? Please follow the link to respond!

Woman, 53 years of age. Type 2 diabetes and is obese. Patient’s daughter was getting married. She was very motivated to lose weight for the wedding and she did. Her A1C lowered from 7.5% to 6.6%. She cut back on her carbs to <100gm/day, increased her activity and took her metformin regularly. She lost 22 pounds over 6 months. The wedding was 2 months ago and she has gained 6 pounds. That may not seem like much, but it was enough to raise her A1C and open her eyes.

In this week's Homerun Slides, the safety warnings, precautions, and incorporation of SGLT-2 inhibitors into diabetes treatment.

Insulin resistance in humans: abnormalities in insulin signaling and in the glucose transport effector system Although the key elements of the insulin signaling network have been defined by studies employing molecular and cell biology techniques, a number of studies have focused on translating this knowledge to human studies in a clinical research setting. Insulin resistance in peripheral tissues characterizes obesity and T2DM, and is involved in the pathogenesis of diabetes.

New dual drug could be a diabetes breakthrough.
