Remote Patient Monitoring, or RPM, has shown great results in helping people with type 2 diabetes and other chronic conditions to gain better control and live longer. While this method for patient care is becoming more common in the healthcare world, it is still relatively unknown by many people living with chronic conditions. If this is the first time you have heard of RPM or you are already considering it, this article can help you determine if this type of patient care is right for you....

The potential benefits of RPM, or Remote Patient Monitoring, have never been more apparent than they are in today’s COVID-shaped society. But the truth is, this healthcare movement has been gaining traction for years. Why? Because RPM is a powerful tool to help people living with chronic conditions, like type 2 diabetes, take back control of their health. If you are living with type 2 and don’t know much about RPM, it’s time to learn more....

Oral medications are an important part of many diabetes treatment plans. Metformin, glipizide, pioglitazone, and others help those living with type 2 lose weight, increase insulin secretion, and lower blood glucose levels. But more and more studies are linking some of these medications with lowered hemoglobin and anemia. Before you ditch these beneficial meds, it is important to understand these recent findings and how you can help protect yourself from these potential side effects. [ 674 more words ]

Metformin and thiazolidinediones cause a 2-4x boost in anemia risk compared to other diabetes drugs according to recent studies

Diabetes looks different for everyone. While most people living with type 2 struggle with excess weight, about 15% have a near-normal BMI. On the flip side, many overweight and obese people do not have to deal with elevated blood sugar. These facts have led many in the scientific community to assume that genetics play a key role in who will develop this condition and who will not. [ 719 more words ]

BMI is more important than genetics in determining type 2 risk, and targeting individual BMI thresholds can reverse diabetes in most people

Diabetes is a well-established risk factor for miscarriage. This is especially true for women with poorly controlled blood sugar. Hyperglycemia increases the chance that the fetus will grow too large in utero, and also the odds for complications like preeclampsia and fetal neurological disorders, which are also associated with pregnancy loss. The relationship between diabetes and miscarriage has always been regarded as straight forward. [ 621 more words ]

Women who suffer miscarriages are more likely to develop diabetes and the risk rises significantly with each successive pregnancy loss

The association between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and diabetes is well established. About 70% of type 2 diabetics have NAFLD with 30% suffering from the most severe form, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). But how fatty liver disease influences the development of insulin resistance in the liver has been a topic of debate for some time. Now, a new paper published in… [ 681 more words ]

Scientists have found the molecular link between fatty liver disease, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome which opens new treatment paths

Researchers at the University of Alabama Birmingham have spent the last two decades screening over 300,000 compounds in their search for an orally bioavailable drug to treat diabetes. Now, it appears, all that hard work has paid off. Through their experiments, the researchers were able to identify a small, nontoxic molecule that works not only to normalize blood glucose in obese diabetic mice but also in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice, a model for type 1 diabetes.

After 20 years of searching, UAB researchers have discovered a simple, oral drug with the power to cure diabetes in mouse models
