Insulin transforms a sick body. It also has the potential to reconstitute our political economic realities. By Edward Ongweso Jr., Athena Sofides

Modern medicine makes it seem as if drugs are the only way to deal with diabetes. But what if diet can be a solution?

Over the last forty years or so, the number of people with diabetes has jumped from around 100 million to more than 500 million, with matching rises in associated health problems like obesity and cardiovascular disease risk.

This best meal replacement shake for diabetics is formulated by a leading metabolic scientist who specializes in insulin resistance.

The drug could be a useful new tool for treating childhood obesity.

California will start producing insulin and selling it at a cheaper rate as Insulin is held prisoner by a health care system in the United States that is persistently resistant to improvements, allowing firms to dominate the market and maximize profits.

It sounds too good to be true. But the science on how different types of foods affect your glucose levels has been known for a long time.

A drug approved to treat Type 2 diabetes is extremely effective at reducing obesity, according to a new study. The drug, called tirzepatide, works on two naturally occurring hormones that help control blood sugar and are involved in sending fullness signals from the gut to the brain.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 1.6 million Americans have type 1 diabetes. Every year, these numbers get worse. Globally, the number of individuals living with type 1 diabetes seems to be increasing by around 3-4% annually.

Indians consume some form of dairy with almost every meal these days. And India has the second largest number of diabetics in the world! There is a connection.

A team from UC San Francisco has demonstrated the potential in using a smartphone camera to diagnose type 2 diabetes. The technique needs no additional hardware other than a smartphone camera, and is over 80 percent accurate in detecting diabetes.

President Donald Trump pondered on Tuesday whether he should be taking insulin, a hormone typically prescribed to diabetics, during an announcement for a plan which would aim to drastically reduce the price of insulin for people on Medicare. "I don't use insulin," Trump said. "Should I be? Huh? I never thought about it. But I know a lot of people are very badly affected, right? Unbelievable."

Insulin imbalance may not be the only cause of the onset of diabetes. Researchers at the University of Geneva have highlighted another mechanism: the liver appears to have the ability to produce a significant amount of glucose outside of any hormonal signal.

After years of ignoring it,the ADS has finally endorsed HFLC as a viable option for diabetics.

A study of thousands of patients’ health records found that those who were prescribed cholesterol-lowering statins had at least double the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

A low-carb diet may have benefits for people at risk of developing type 2 diabetes even if they don’t lose any weight, a new study suggests. Researchers at The Ohio State University wanted to know what happens to obese people with metabolic syndrome, a precursor to diabetes, when they eat a diet low in carbohydrates but don’t shed any pounds. They found that more than half of study participants no longer met the criteria for metabolic syndrome immediately following a four-week low-carb diet.

Diabetics in Colorado who use insulin to control their blood sugar levels won’t pay more than $100 per month for the drug starting in January thanks to a bill signed into law by Gov. Jared Polis on Wednesday. “Today, we will declare that the days of insulin price gouging are over in Colorado,” Polis said in his office as he signed the bill, according to CBS Denver.

One day last June, Doug Boss pulled into a police-station parking lot to meet a stranger from Craigslist. His purpose: to buy used insulin pumps. Boss has type 1 diabetes, and he relies on a small pump attached to his body to deliver continuous doses of insulin that keep him alive. To be clear, he didn’t need to buy used medical equipment on Craigslist. Boss, who is 55 and works in IT in Texas, has health insurance. He even has a new, in-warranty pump sitting at home.

A new study shows that a drug used to help control blood sugar in people with diabetes also can prevent or slow kidney disease, which causes millions of deaths each year and requires hundreds of thousands of people to use dialysis to stay alive. Doctors say it's hard to overstate the importance of this study, and what it means for curbing this problem, which is growing because of the obesity epidemic.
