The researchers found that each extra gram of sodium (or 2.5 grams of salt) per day was linked to a 43 per cent higher risk of type 2 diabetes. It was noted that the people who fell within the high consumption category were at a 58 per cent higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes than the individuals in the low consumption group
Diabetes is a major cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, stroke and lower limb amputation.Almost half of all deaths attributable to high blood glucose occur before the age of 70 years. WHO projects that diabetes will be the seventh leading cause of death in 2030. Diabetes prevalence has been rising more rapidly in middle- […]

Infants who had been breastfed had increased serum levels of fatty acids - such as pentadecanoic acid, palmitic acid, docosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid - and had a lower risk of autoimmunity, compared with infants who were fed cow's milk-based formula
Type 1 diabetes affects more than 20 million people across the globe, and more than a million people in the United States have been diagnosed with the disease. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder, wherein the body’s own immune cells attack beta cells. Beta cells produce insulin which is responsible for decreasing levels of […]

And those levels are important — raging hormones are just as dangerous as lacklustre hormones. Fortunately, there are things we can do on a daily […]
Exercise provides health benefits that include improving insulin sensitivity and weight control. But not everyone is able to exercise
With a series of new grants, Saint Louis University researchers will tackle the twin epidemics of diabetes and obesity by tapping into the potential of two nuclear receptors that control muscle metabolism. The scientists will optimize two promising drug compounds, moving a step closer toward capturing the benefits of exercise in pill form. Thomas Burris, […]
Basal insulin is also known as background insulin. It in keeping blood sugar levels stable during periods of fasting, such as between meals or during sleep. During these times, the body keeps releasing sugar (glucose) into the bloodstream. This gives energy to the body's cells
People diagnosed with diabetes benefit from increasing their body’s natural insulin levels by injecting insulin. Different types of insulin are available. They can be classed by: how quickly they work (onset time) how long their effects last (duration) when they peak (peak time) Basal insulin is one type of insulin that is available, and it […]
The pancreas secretes insulin and glucagon, both of which play a vital role in regulating blood sugar levels. The two hormones work in balance. If the level of one hormone is outside the ideal range, blood sugar levels may spike or drop
Together, insulin and glucagon help keep conditions inside the body steady. When blood sugar is too high, the pancreas secretes more insulin. When blood sugar levels drop, the pancreas releases glucagon to bring them back up. Blood sugar and health The body converts carbohydrates from food into sugar (glucose), which serves as a vital source […]
