Population-based screening for type 1 diabetes is entering a new era. While autoantibody testing remains the gold standard for identifying individuals at high risk, researchers are increasingly investigating whether type 1 diabetes genetic screening could identify susceptible people even earlier. Advances in genomic science now make it possible to estimate …

Many people think of liver function tests as a way to detect liver disease. However, researchers are discovering that routine liver enzymes may also reveal important clues about future metabolic health. Understanding liver enzymes diabetes risk is becoming increasingly important because these commonly ordered blood tests may help identify people …

In 2026, diabetic retinopathy screening is entering a new era driven by artificial intelligence, tele-retinal imaging, and smarter integration into primary care workflows. Despite improved glucose monitoring and widespread use of CGM systems, diabetic retinopathy remains a leading cause of preventable blindness in adults with diabetes. So how can clinicians …
