The US Food and Drug Administration issued a warning about the risks of using smartwatches and smart rings that claim to measure blood glucose levels without piercing the skin.
Sabyasachi Sen, a medicine and biochemistry professor at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences is available to speak about the warning and what diabetics should rely on to measure their blood sugar for the most accurate…
Make diagnosing serious geriatric diseases as easy as measuring blood sugar
Dr. Seo, Moon-Hyeong of the Natural Product Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), together with Dr. Park, Keunwan of the Natural Product Informatics Research Center, have developed a technology that can quickly and accurately measure glutamine concentrations without complicated measurement processes and expensive analytical equipment through the principle of ‘ligand-induced protein assembly’.
Neurons that track, regulate blood-sugar levels are found
Understanding how this blood-sugar detection system works and how these neurocircuits operate would give researchers and doctors greater insights into how our brains regulate our blood sugar and, perhaps, how to target them therapeutically to treat metabolic diseases like diabetes and obesity, according to the study authors.
New Analysis Finds Low-Calorie Sweeteners Do Not Affect Blood Glucose
Reporters invited to briefing on Low- and No-Calorie Sweeteners and glycemic response research
EMBARGOED: School garden-based interventions can improve blood sugar, reduce bad cholesterol in children
School garden-based interventions can improve metabolic parameters such as blood sugar and cholesterol in children, according to a new study from UTHealth Houston.
UTSW scientists identify brain circuit that triggers rare, blood sugar-dependent epilepsy
A small group of brain cells linked in a circuit is responsible for setting off whole-brain seizures in a rare form of epilepsy affected by blood sugar levels, a study led by UT Southwestern researchers suggests. The finding, published in Science Translational Medicine, could lead to new treatments for other metabolic disorders in the brain, the authors said.
Frequent Breaks from Sitting May Improve Daily Blood Sugar Fluctuations
Frequent activity breaks from sitting may improve fasting blood sugar (glucose) levels and stabilize daily fluctuations, according to new research. The study, the first of its length to explore the effects of activity breaks in “free-living” conditions, is published ahead of print in the American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism. It was chosen as an APSselect article for August.
No more finger pricks: a continuous glucose monitor benefits patients with diabetes in more ways than one
For adults with type 2 diabetes, pairing basal insulin with continuous glucose monitoring improved blood sugar and quality of life.
Vast under-treatment of diabetes seen in global study
Nearly half a billion people have diabetes, but only 1 in 10 of those in low- and middle-income countries are getting the kind of care that could make their lives healthier, longer and more productive, according to a new global study of data. Many don’t even know they have the condition.
“Smartwatch to Measure Blood Glucose from Sweat” – A Chula Innovation for Healthcare
No more worries for diabetics with weak muscles. The Metallurgy and Materials Science Research Institute, Chulalongkorn University will soon launch a cutting-edge, health innovation – a wristwatch that can check blood sugar levels from sweat in real-time. It’s accurate, not painful, less expensive, and can replace imported equipment. It is expected to be available on the market soon.
Increased blood sugar levels may decrease benefits of aerobic exercise
Researchers at Joslin Diabetes Center have discovered that some benefits of aerobic exercise may be dampened by higher-than-normal blood sugar levels, and that this is independent of obesity and insulin levels in the blood.
Low-calorie Sweeteners Have Less Effect on Weight, Blood Sugar than Sugar Does
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 published ahead of print in the American Journal of Physiology—Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology.
