Coconut fat intake may compromise long-term blood glucose control

28 Sep 2021

Consumption of coconut fat in meals appears to increase postprandial glucose as a result of a decrease in insulin, according to a study. Furthermore, long-term intake of coconut fat may increase insulin resistance and be detrimental for glycaemic control.

Finerenone CV benefit extends to wide spectrum of CKD patients with T2D: FIGARO-DKD

25 Sep 2021 by

The large, phase III FIGARO-DKD trial strengthen the evidence on cardiovascular benefit (CV) of the nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonist finerenone, in addition to its renal benefit, across a wide spectrum of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Mediterranean diet helps prevent CVD, microvascular complications in diabetes

24 Sep 2021

Individuals with types 1 (T1D) and 2 diabetes (T2D) mellitus who adhere to a Mediterranean dietary pattern are at lower risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and microvascular complications, including diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy, a study has found.

Diabetes devices not enough to achieve HbA1c goals in kids, teens

22 Sep 2021 by

Despite the high uptake of diabetes-related technologies, glucose control seems to remain suboptimal in young people with type 1 diabetes, with more than 60 percent failing to reach the target glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) level, according to a recent Norway study.

High HDL-C concentrations up CVD risk regardless of diabetes status

20 Sep 2021

High concentrations of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) potentially lead to an increased risk of composite cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes in individuals with or without diabetes mellitus (DM), reveals a recent study. Low HDL-C concentrations, however, do not predict future CVD risk in individuals with DM.
