People with diabetes often suffer from wounds that are slow to heal and can lead to ulcers, gangrene and amputation. New research from an international group shows that, in mouse models of diabetes, slow healing is associated with weaker electrical currents in wounds. The results could ultimately open up new approaches for managing diabetic patients.

Dr. Hallberg has just completed a study in which she demonstrated profound success in actually treating diabetes using a closely monitored ketogenic diet.

Metformin is the most commonly used drug to treat type 2 diabetes (T2D), though not all patients respond to it, and still, others do not tolerate it. García-Calzón et al . analyzed genome-wide DNA methylation in the blood of drug-naïve patients who were recently diagnosed with T2D. They found that DNA methylation at specific loci associated with future metformin response or tolerance, respectively, across multiple cohorts. These epigenetic markers may have theranostic potential regarding which patients should receive metformin. Metformin is the first-line pharmacotherapy for managing type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, many patients with T2D do not respond to or tolerate metformin well. Currently, there are no phenotypes that successfully predict glycemic response to, or tolerance of, metformin. We explored whether blood-based epigenetic markers could discriminate metformin response and tolerance by analyzing genome-wide DNA methylation in drug-naïve patients with T2D at the time of their diagnosis. DNA methylation of 11 and 4 sites differed between glycemic responders/nonresponders and metformin-tolerant/intolerant patients, respectively, in discovery and replication cohorts. Greater methylation at these sites associated with a higher risk of not responding to or not tolerating metformin with odds ratios between 1.43 and 3.09 per 1-SD methylation increase. Methylation risk scores (MRSs) of the 11 identified sites differed between glycemic responders and nonresponders with areas under the curve (AUCs) of 0.80 to 0.98. MRSs of the 4 sites associated with future metformin intolerance generated AUCs of 0.85 to 0.93. Some of these blood-based methylation markers mirrored the epigenetic pattern in adipose tissue, a key tissue in diabetes pathogenesis, and genes to which these markers were annotated to had biological functions in hepatocytes that altered metformin-related phenotypes. Overall, we could discriminate between glycemic responders/nonresponders and participants tolerant/intolerant to metformin at diagnosis by measuring blood-based epigenetic markers in drug-naïve patients with T2D. This epigenetics-based tool may be further developed to help patients with T2D receive optimal therapy.

Click here to subscribe - https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/wxrn More on dairy here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCcGmyNPpPo Is there a natural cure for diabetes? Simple answer is yes. Type II diabetes is a disease of choice. Reversing diabetes is much easier than you think, but it requires a major diet and lifestyle change. If you are looking to overcome diabetes naturally consider doing these three things: 1. Stop eating sugar. Sugar causes and worsens diabetes. 2. Stop consuming processed dairy. Dairy is contributes to elevations in blood sugar and insulin. 3. Don't eat grain. In my book, No Grain No Pain, I detail the specifics of how grain elevates blood sugar, inflammation, and leads to muscle loss along with increased risk for diabetes. Additionally, I discuss the connection between gluten and diabetes. Eat plenty of dark green leafy vegetables, and be aware that even some natural foods might drive elevations in your blood sugar. Bonus Tips: 4. Exercise. Muscle mass improves insulin sensitivity. Lack of activity can lead to elevations of blood sugar and type 2 diabetes. 5. Eat a balance of macronutrients analyzing your carb, fat, protein ratios starting with the rule of 3rds. 6. Supplements that will support healthy blood sugar are chromium, magnesium, vitamin D, and zinc. Bottom line: A natural cure for diabetes resides in you. Your behaviors, diet, activity, etc. If you want to reverse type 2 diabetes, start with changing your behaviors.

Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure, and scientists have found that infusing just a small dose of a cytokine, thought to help cause that failure, can instead prevent or reverse it.

Scientist have demonstrated for the first time that their peptide-hydrogel biomaterial prompts skin cells to 'crawl' toward one another, closing chronic, non-healing wounds often associated with diabetes, such as bed sores and foot ulcers.
