While there has been a general consensus that olive oil and other plant-based fats are better for you than butter, scientists have now put it beyond doubt, combining diet-intervention and previous cohort research to assess serious disease risk.
-
People living with diabetes might have a new hope. Scientists have tested a new drug therapy in diabetic mice, and found that it boosted insulin-producing cells by 700% over three months, effectively reversing their disease.
-
Not getting the optimal amount of sleep increases the risk of damage to small blood vessels in the eyes and kidneys of type 2 diabetics, new research has found. The findings suggest addressing this risk factor could prevent long-term complications.
-
A compound that occurs in mature olives and olive oil can regulate glucose and ramp up weight loss in rapid time, mimicking the effects of existing medication. This opens the door for developing safe, natural treatments for obesity and type 2 diabetes.
-
The popular class of antidiabetic and weight loss drugs known as GLP-1RAs, which includes Ozempic and Wegovy, has been found to significantly reduce the risk of 10 out of 13 obesity-associated cancers in type 2 diabetics, according to new research.

Being prescribed semaglutide for diabetes or weight management is associated with an increased risk, up to seven times, of developing a relatively rare form of untreatable blindness, sometimes referred to as an 'eye stroke,' a new study has found.
-
Some people produce more insulin in response to proteins and fats than carbs, new research has found. Suggesting that insulin production is more individualized than first believed, the findings pave the way for treating conditions through a tailored diet.
-
In a massive study of 85,000 people, tracking 13 million hours, scientists at Flinders University have found that night-time exposure to light increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, independent of daytime activities.
-
Compared to some antidiabetic medications, a 5:2 intermittent diet provides better blood sugar control and weight loss in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics, a new study found. It may be a viable alternative to medications in the early stages of the condition.
-
A once-a-day oral drug to treat prediabetes has produced very promising results in human trials, significantly reducing blood glucose levels. The novel drug could prevent or slow the progression from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes.
-
It's no surprise that regular exercise can improve a variety of health metrics. But a new study shows that when you work out is as important as exercise itself, especially when it comes to controlling your blood sugar levels.
-
Diabetics sick of daily injections may have renewed hope for a less invasive alternative. Scientists at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have developed a new delivery method for insulin where users just place a few drops under their tongue.
