This Doctor of Nursing Practice capstone project presents the development and evaluation of a clinical practice guideline (CPG) for the assessment and management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults. The project addresses the ongoing challenge of diabetes-related complications and hospitalizations, highlighting the critical role of personalized patient education and the integration of smartphone…

Turmeric is a common spice used in many kitchens around the world. Its bright yellow color comes from a compound called curcumin. Scientists have long been interested in curcumin because it can reduce inflammation and protect cells from damage. Now, new research suggests it may also help protect the heart in people with diabetes. The […] The post Turmeric compound may help reduce heart damage in …

Characterized by a total or partial shortage of insulin, diabetes is a chronic metabolic condition. Its widespread occurrence and related complications present a significant global public health issue. Ganoderma lucidum (Curtis) P. Karst. 1881 (Polyporaceae), a valuable traditional Chinese medicine, contains polysaccharides as its primary active metabolites. Polysaccharides exhibit virous pharmac…

A Nature study reports a single-molecule GLP-1–GIP–lanifibranor quintuple agonist that targets incretin receptor-expressing cells while activating PPARα/γ/δ pathways. In obese and insulin-resistant mice, the compound reduced body weight, food intake, and hyperglycaemia more effectively than semaglutide or GLP-1R–GIPR co-agonism, while remaining a preclinical finding.

Living with type 2 diabetes means making daily decisions about food, activity, and medication. One of the most important parts of managing the condition is checking blood sugar levels. For many people, this has meant using finger-prick tests several times a day. While useful, this method can be painful and does not always provide enough […] The post Continuous glucose monitors improve blood sugar…

Type 2 diabetes is a long-term condition that affects how the body uses sugar, also called glucose. In people with this condition, the body either does not produce enough insulin or cannot use insulin properly. This leads to high blood sugar levels, which over time can damage the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. […] The post Which diabetes drug works best with metformin? appeared …

Diabetes is a common health condition that affects how your body uses sugar from the food you eat. Sugar, also called glucose, is an important source of energy. After you eat, your body turns food into glucose, which then enters your blood. A hormone called insulin helps move this sugar into your cells so your […] The post 10 warning signs your blood sugar may be too high appeared first on Knowri…

Acta Pharmacologica Sinica, Published online: 28 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41401-026-01802-z Targeting endoplasmic reticulum stress and YAP/TAZ-SMAD1/5 signaling to ameliorate endothelial dysfunction in diabetes

A large international study suggests that a subset of people with Type 2 diabetes carry genetic variants that blunt the effectiveness of widely used GLP-1–based drugs, despite unexpectedly elevated levels of the hormone in their bodies. GLP-1 receptor agonists are now used by more than a quarter of people with Type 2 diabetes, and their [...]

An improved stem cell method produces functional insulin cells that reverse diabetes in mice. Scientists at Karolinska Institutet and KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden have created a more reliable way to generate insulin-producing cells from human stem cells. Their findings, published in Stem Cell Reports, show that these lab-grown cells can regulate blood [...]

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have carried out the most detailed mapping to date of the epigenome in the cells that regulate the body's blood sugar levels.

Managing type 2 diabetes is something millions of people deal with every day. It requires constant attention, careful eating, and regular monitoring of blood sugar levels. For many years, the most common way to check blood sugar has been through finger-prick tests. These tests can be uncomfortable and only provide a snapshot of glucose levels […] The post A small device could change diabetes care…

A major clinical trial has found that real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) significantly improves blood glucose management in adults living with type 2 diabetes who are treated with basal insulin.

More than two in five U.S. adults has prediabetes, a condition marked by higher-than-normal blood sugar levels that often leads to type 2 diabetes.

A recent study has found that what people eat may play a powerful role in improving type 2 diabetes. Researchers discovered that a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet could help the pancreas work better and may even improve the body’s ability to control blood sugar. The study was published in the Journal of the Endocrine Society. Type […] The post Keto diet may ease stress on the diabetic pancreas ap…

A new study suggests that changing the way people eat may help improve type 2 diabetes in ways that were not fully understood before. Researchers found that a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet, often called a ketogenic diet, may help the body work better at controlling blood sugar. The study was published in the Journal of the […] The post Can a high-fat diet help reverse type 2 diabetes? appeared …

High blood sugar, also known as hyperglycemia, is a common problem for people with type 2 diabetes and for some people who have not yet been diagnosed. It happens when there is too much sugar, called glucose, in the blood. Over time, high blood sugar can damage many parts of the body, including the heart, […] The post Simple ways to bring down high blood sugar without using insulin appeared first…

Managing type 2 diabetes can be challenging, especially when it comes to finding the right insulin dose. A new study suggests that a smart algorithm, combined with a continuous glucose monitor, may make this process easier and more effective. Researchers at the University of Virginia Center for Diabetes Technology have developed a system that analyzes […] The post How a new algorithm is changing …
