Insulin therapy can effectively control blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes. However, its use comes with the risk of inducing hypoglycaemia. Now, writing in Nature, Hoeg-Jensen et al. have ...

An insulin that switches itself on and off in response to blood glucose levels has proven successful in lowering the risk of dangerously low glucose levels, or hypos, in animals. According to ...

Insulin resistance is concomitant with type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and other features of the metabolic syndrome. Because insulin resistance is associated with cardiovascular disease, both ...

Silica nanoparticles may make oral insulin possible by safely enhancing drug absorption through the intestinal wall in obese mice.

Researchers revealed that the microbial metabolite TMA can directly block the immune protein IRAK4, reducing inflammation and improving insulin sensitivity. The molecule counteracts damage caused by ...

So-called 'smart' insulin took a step nearer to becoming a reality with a new study from Denmark, the United Kingdom, and the Czech Republic. Researchers reported in Nature that animal tests with an ...

Lifestyle changes, such as dietary interventions, are an effective strategy for managing type 2 diabetes by helping to control blood sugar levels. In addition to the type of food a person consumes, ...

By Dr. Liji Thomas, MD A longitudinal study shows that puberty may reprogram children’s epigenetic profiles in ways that ...

Insulin resistance precedes and predicts the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), a chronic disease that causes high morbidity and mortality worldwide. In affected people, insulin is unable to ...
