It’s a safe assumption that we all know binge-drinking is not good for our general health. But a new study shows that one big alcohol-fueled session a week is significantly more harmful than spreading that same amount of drinks out over seven days.
-
Researchers have combined high-resolution images of blood vessels under the skin of diabetics and an AI algorithm to formulate a ‘score’ that can determine disease severity. The technique could be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment.
-
Scientists have discovered a new mechanism for how type 2 diabetes takes hold, and demonstrated in mice that blocking a particular enzyme could open a new avenue of treatment for the disease.
-
A world-first clinical trial has found that a drug commonly prescribed for rheumatoid arthritis preserved the pancreatic cells’ ability to produce insulin and slowed the progression of type 1 diabetes in those recently diagnosed with the condition.
-
Researchers developed a technique to implant a device containing insulin-secreting cells in a pocket under the skin, reversing diabetes in mice without the need for anti-rejection drugs. It could one day provide an alternative to insulin injections.

Eating less meat is known to be good for heart health, but studies have been hampered by confounding factors such as genetics and background. Now, 22 sets of twins on 'healthy' meat and plant-based diets provide us with the best comparative data yet.

Daily finger-prick blood tests are an uncomfortable fact of life for diabetics, but they may not always have to be. Scientists from Canada and the US have developed a prototype home-use device that measures blood glucose levels via saliva samples.

While it's known that regular walking can help you ward off diabetes, a new study attempts to quantify the speed that maximizes the exercise's benefits. It turns out a little extra pep may go a long way toward cutting your risk of the disease.
-
Managing diabetes usually involves regular shots, but soon patients might only need injections a few times a year. Stanford has developed a hydrogel-based delivery system that slowly releases drugs over months to control diabetes and even weight.

There is a growing body of evidence that points to night shift work being extremely bad for our health. But scientists believe some big, hairy "extreme shift workers" may hold the cellular secrets to staying healthy amid circadian rhythm disruptions.
-
The US has officially got a homegrown hero in the burgeoning global industry of effective weight-loss treatment, with the FDA approval of Lilly’s Zepbound. The company has revealed its cost, dosages, insurance subsidies and when it will be on shelves.

A study has linked elevated blood insulin levels and pancreatic cancer. The researchers say their findings may lead to new cancer prevention strategies and targeting treatments to slow or prevent the progression of the cancer.
