Measuring elevated levels of insulin in the blood, called hyperinsulinemia, is a proven way to measure metabolic health and ...

In this study comparing patients who initiated NPH insulin (n=23,561) with patients who initiated insulin analogs (n=1,928), Lipska and coauthors found that, over a mean follow-up of 1.7 years ...

Insulin and glucagon work in what’s called a negative feedback loop. During this process, one event triggers another, which triggers another, and so on, to keep your blood sugar levels balanced.

Insulin in the central nervous system (CNS) affects feeding behavior and body energy stores, the metabolism of glucose and fats in the liver and adipose, and various aspects of memory and cognition.

To evaluate early changes in glycemia, insulin physiology and gut hormone responses to an easily tolerated and slowly ingested solid, low-carbohydrate mixed meal test (MMT) following laparoscopic ...

A promising breakthrough by researchers at UBC Okanagan may soon enable easier identification of prediabetes ie individuals at risk of Type 2 diabetes, even before symptoms manifest.

Artificial pancreas reduces disease management burden for people with diabetes Intraperitoneal insulin delivery mimics the natural physiology of the pancreas Date: May 23, 2023 Source: American ...

New research suggests that low-calorie sweeteners cause only modest changes in blood sugar, insulin levels, insulin sensitivity and weight gain, as compared to those induced by sugar. The study is ...

Background: Insulin resistance is known to affect endothelial function in adults leading to cardiovascular disease. It is important to assess adolescent changes during puberty and how they relate ...

"The placenta -- the major driver of changes in insulin physiology in pregnancy -- is likely a key source of hormones involved in the development of gestational diabetes," said lead researcher ...

A new study led by the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute has identified that a deficit in the placental expression of the gene insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGFBP1) and low IGFBP1 circulating ...
