The research team of The Chinese University of Hong Kong’s (CUHK) Faculty of Medicine (CU Medicine) has discovered a genetic marker that can predict the risk of heart disease in patients with Type 2 diabetes, which will help to develop personalized treatments for them. The study details were published in the authoritative diabetes journal Diabetes…
CUHK Discovers New Genetic Marker to Predict Heart Disease Risk in Patients with Type II Diabetes
Honey Can Prevent Diabetes?
Yes, you are not hearing wrong: Honey can reduce blood sugar despite being roughly 80 percent sugar. In addition to lowering blood sugar, honey can boost immunity and slow the aging process. Recently, researchers have shown that honey has a wide range of unanticipated advantages. For example, diabetics who consume honey in moderation might significantly…
Over 700 Million People May Have Diabetes in 2045, 8 Foods to Help Lower Blood Sugar
Diabetes has become the third most life-threatening disease following only cardiovascular/cerebrovascular diseases and malignant tumors. According to the statistics of the International Diabetes Federation more than 500 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes, and it is increasing at a rate of 25,000 a year. There is also a trend of its incidence starting at an ever-younger age….
Aspirin Can Lower Risk of Heart Disease in Some Diabetic Patients
More than 65 percent of total mortality from diabetes is due to cardiovascular disease, including fatal atherothrombotic events such as acute myocardial infarction (heart attack), ischemic stroke (due to reduced blood flow and oxygen levels), critical ischemia of lower limbs, and sudden heart failure. Compared to individuals with a normal concentration of blood glucose, the presence…
Coin-Sized Wearable Bioelectronic Sensor to Detect Blood Sugar Levels
There are many kinds of home intelligent health monitoring devices for diabetics. Traditional blood sugar measuring devices require taking blood samples. There are also a number of mobile devices that do not need blood samples, but instead take readings from a sensor implanted under the skin. Recently, a team at the University of Hong Kong…
Australian Scientists Develop Pain-Free Blood Sugar Test for Diabetics
SYDNEY—Australian scientists say they have developed the “holy grail” of blood sugar testing for diabetics, a non-invasive strip that checks glucose levels via saliva. For diabetics, managing their blood sugar levels typically means pricking their fingers multiple times a day with a lancet and then placing a drop of blood on a testing strip. Understandably,…
