A fresh look at a large medical record review points to a possible link between GLP‑1 drugs and better long‑term outcomes for breast cancer patients. The research, published in a respected medical journal on May 11, examined nearly eight thousand women who received a breast cancer diagnosis betwe
A huge study looked at 42 million people in England to see if catching COVID can lead to new diabetes. The researchers focused on two kinds of diabetes: type 1 (T1D) and type 2 (T2D). They wanted to know if factors like body weight, how much money people make, and where they live change the ri
A recent study looked at how adding medicine to healthy habits affects people who are at risk for diabetes. The researchers sifted through medical databases and found many trials where patients with prediabetes tried new drugs along with diet and exercise changes. They wanted to see if this combo co
Scientists have long divided type 2 diabetes into a handful of groups based on simple tests. These categories include severe insulin‑deficient, severe insulin‑resistant, mild obesity‑linked and mild age‑related diabetes. The groups help doctors decide on treatments, but they miss many subtle differe
Young adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes early in life often face challenges that go beyond just managing blood sugar. Beyond the usual medical advice about diet and exercise, their mental and emotional well-being plays a huge role in how they handle the condition. Research shows that many young
Before the pandemic hit, about four in ten people with type 2 diabetes were managing to keep their blood sugar in the safe zone.

The fight against heart disease in people with diabetes is tough. Diabetes often comes with high cholesterol, and that raises the risk of heart attacks. Doctors usually give statins first, but many patients still have too much bad cholesterol. A new medicine called bempedoic acid works diff
In many communities, women who had gestational diabetes are later more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. The reasons behind this link are still being studied, and scientists are turning to the gut for clues. A large study of Latino adults in the United States looked at how having gestational
Research on semaglutide, a once-a-week shot, shows it can help people lose noticeable weight—up to one-sixth of their body weight in some cases. Trials called STEP 1, 3, and 4 focused on adults without diabetes and found weight drops between ten and seventeen percent. For those with type 2 diabetes
A recent study tested whether two fruits—avocado and mango—could help adults who are at risk of diabetes. The research found that eating one avocado and one cup of mango every day for two months improved blood flow and slightly lowered blood pressure in men with prediabetes. Scientists believe the g
