Higher fat mass, fasting glucose for offspring with fetal exposure to cannabis
Children of mothers who used cannabis during pregnancy had greater fat mass and adiposity and higher fasting glucose than those not exposed to cannabis, according to study findings.
BMI partially mediates link between age at menopause and glucose levels in women
Women with an older age at menopause onset have an increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes, and BMI partially mediates the link between age at menopause and blood glucose levels, according to study findings published in Menopause.
Duodenal microbiome differences may raise CVD risk in postmenopausal women not on HT
Postmenopausal women taking hormone therapy have a duodenal microbiome similar to younger women and a lower abundance of taxaassociated with cardiovascular disease risk compared with those not taking HT, researchers reported.
Elevated FPG, not post-load glucose, raises risk for large for gestational age outcomes
Elevated fasting plasma glucose, but not post-load glucose, is associated with increased risk for large for gestational age infants, according to study findings published in Diabetic Medicine.
Serum glucose may help identify those admitted for stroke at greatest risk for recurrence
Presence of hyperglycemia at hospital admission for stroke was linked with elevated risk for subsequent stroke by 90 days, an increase that dual antiplatelet therapy seemingly failed to curtail, researchers reported.
Stair walking for 10 minutes may lower glucose and insulin, improve insulin sensitivity
Moderate-intensity stair walking for as little as 3 minutes can lower glucose and insulin concentrations, and 10 minutes of stair walking can improve insulin sensitivity, according to study findings.
Diet effects on glucose, monoclonal antibody for fat loss top 2021 diabetes news
The Healio and Endocrine Today editors have compiled the top news about diabetes from 2021.
Poor sleep quality, later bedtime influence glucose level after breakfast
Poor sleep quality and a later bedtime are associated with a more pronounced postprandial glycemic response to breakfast the following morning, according to an analysis published in Diabetologia.
Drinking low levels of caffeine during pregnancy may reduce risk for gestational diabetes
Women who drink caffeinated beverages within recommended guidelines may have a lower risk for gestational diabetes compared with those with no caffeine intake, according to findings published in JAMA Network Open.
Do the benefits of CGM justify the current cost in type 2 diabetes care?
When I transfer what we learned as educators and clinicians from blood glucose monitoring to CGM, the lessons are similar. With CGM, people using insulin, whether with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, derive great benefit. We certainly use CGM for people with type 2 diabetes prescribed multiple daily injections. In the MOBILE study, we showed how much CGM could help people using basal insulin, though I believe, with more training, we could have done even better.
