A diabetes app can track meals, count steps, log glucose, and deliver reminders. However, can an app actually help someone turn all that information into lasting daily habits? A recent randomized controlled trial suggests that digital diabetes coaching, with technology supported by ongoing human guidance, may help bridge that gap. …

Modern diabetes clinical trials look very different from the tightly controlled, site-centered studies clinicians relied on a decade ago. Remote visits, continuous glucose monitoring, wearable sensors, digital data collection, and broader enrollment are changing how evidence is generated. Meanwhile, newer trial designs can make studies more flexible and potentially more …

Every new diabetes medication must prove it is both safe and effective before reaching patients. Traditionally, that process depends on large clinical trials that require thousands of volunteers, years of follow-up, and significant financial investment. However, what if researchers could reduce the number of participants while still producing reliable scientific …

For millions of people living with diabetes, checking blood sugar remains a daily routine that often involves fingersticks or wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) with a tiny sensor inserted beneath the skin. Although CGMs have dramatically improved diabetes management, many people still hope for a truly needle-free alternative. That …

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 …

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, diagnosing diabetes has depended on blood tests performed during routine medical visits. However, what if your smartwatch could recognize early warning signs before glucose levels become high enough for a formal diagnosis? Researchers are now exploring wearable technologies for diabetes screening that continuously analyze physiologic data collected throughout …

Prediabetes has traditionally been diagnosed during annual physical exams through fasting glucose tests or A1C measurements. However, new diabetes prevention tools and wearable technologies are rapidly changing that model. Today, wearable devices, continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), and predictive metabolic tracking tools are giving people real-time insight into their glucose patterns …

Diabetic retinopathy remains one of the leading causes of preventable blindness worldwide. Yet despite clear screening guidelines, many patients with diabetes still miss their annual retinal exams. Busy schedules, limited specialist access, transportation barriers, and lack of awareness often delay diagnosis until vision changes become permanent. As healthcare systems search …

As virtual care becomes more common, many clinicians now initiate GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy remotely. But how do you ensure patient safety without in-person visits? Effective remote monitoring of GLP-1 therapy plays a critical role in closing care gaps while maintaining treatment effectiveness. Much like managing insulin therapy from a …
