Diabetes at Middle Age Poses Highest Risk for Cardiovascular Disease

Joshua Joseph, MD, and fellow researchers from multiple centers in the US have found that having a higher number of ideal cardiovascular health components is associated with lower risk of diabetes in patients with normal fasting glucose.

Impact of Ideal CV Health on Risk of T2DM 

Dror Dicker, MD, and fellow researchers in Israel and France have found that the Advanced DiaRem tool is superior to the conventional DiaRem scoring system and provides fair predictive value for 5-year postoperative diabetes remission following weight reduction surgery.

High Triglycerides Linked to Poor Glucose Control in T2DM

Magnus Wijkman, MD, PhD, and fellow researchers at multiple international centers have discovered that prescribing liraglutide for glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) may also aid in weight loss and reduction of blood pressure.
