Researchers in Japan developed an oral insulin pill that lowered blood sugar in diabetic mice, offering hope for a ...

Insulin therapy can effectively control blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes. However, its use comes with the risk of inducing hypoglycaemia. Now, writing in Nature, Hoeg-Jensen et al. have ...

“Insulin injections remain a daily burden for many patients,” said Associate Professor Shingo Ito. “Our peptide-based platform offers a new route to deliver insulin orally and may be applicable to ...

A small molecule made by gut microbes is rapidly emerging as one of the most intriguing new levers for controlling blood sugar and inflammation, hinting at a future in which diabetes care starts in ...

Insulin resistance is concomitant with type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and other features of the metabolic syndrome. Because insulin resistance is associated with cardiovascular disease, both ...

An insulin that switches itself on and off in response to blood glucose levels has proven successful in lowering the risk of dangerously low glucose levels, or hypos, in animals. According to ...

Lifestyle changes, such as dietary interventions, are an effective strategy for managing type 2 diabetes by helping to control blood sugar levels. In addition to the type of food a person consumes, ...

Researchers revealed that the microbial metabolite TMA can directly block the immune protein IRAK4, reducing inflammation and improving insulin sensitivity. The molecule counteracts damage caused by ...

Type 2 diabetes has long been framed as a story of calories, weight and willpower, but a growing body of research is shifting the spotlight to the trillions of microbes that live in the human gut. A ...
