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.

New trial data suggest dietary fiber supplementation may lower systolic blood pressure in adults with type 2 diabetes and hypertension.

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

Discover how psychotherapy for type 2 diabetes may improve A1C, support self-management, and influence weight and metabolic health.

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 …
