Diabetes care has advanced dramatically over the past decade. While therapies such as GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors have transformed glucose management and cardiovascular outcomes, many patients continue to develop long-term complications. Could an older therapeutic target finally provide the missing piece? Interest in aldose reductase inhibitors for diabetes …

Diabetes is known for raising blood sugar levels, but its long-term complications often have the greatest impact on health. Kidney disease, vision loss, nerve damage, and cardiovascular disease affect millions of people living with diabetes. For years, researchers focused on inflammation, oxidative stress, and poor circulation to explain these complications. …

Most people think diabetes-related blood vessel damage begins only after years of high blood sugar. However, scientists are uncovering evidence that injury may start much earlier, in a structure so thin it cannot be seen during a routine medical exam. This microscopic layer, known as the endothelial glycocalyx, acts as …

Type 2 diabetes has traditionally been viewed as a disease driven by insulin resistance and declining pancreatic beta-cell function. However, researchers are now looking much deeper into the cell itself. Increasing evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction in diabetes may be a key factor linking impaired energy production, chronic inflammation, oxidative …

For decades, scientists have known that people with type 2 diabetes face a higher risk of heart disease, kidney disease, cognitive decline, and other age-related conditions. However, emerging research suggests these complications may be linked to something even more fundamental: accelerated biological aging in diabetes. In other words, diabetes may …
