25.01.2022 2020 Dec 1 Hip Structural Analysis Reveals Impaired Hip Geometry in Girls With Type 1 Diabetes Abstract Context: Among patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D), the risk of hip fracture is up to 6-fold greater than that of the general population. However, the cause of this skeletal fragility remains poorly understood. Objective: To assess differences in hip geometry and imaging-based estimates of bone strength between youth with and without T1D using dual-energy x-ray absorptiomet...ry (DXA)-based hip structural analysis. Design: Cross-sectional comparison. Participants: Girls ages 10 to 16 years, including n = 62 with T1D and n = 61 controls. Results: The groups had similar age, bone age, pubertal stage, height, lean mass, and physical activity. Bone mineral density at the femoral neck and total hip did not differ in univariate comparisons but was lower at the femoral neck in T1D after adjusting for bone age, height, and lean mass. Subjects with T1D had significantly lower cross-sectional area, cross-sectional moment of inertia, section modulus, and cortical thickness at the narrow neck, with deficits of 5.7% to 10.3%. Cross-sectional area was also lower at the intertrochanteric region in girls with T1D. Among those T1D subjects with HbA1c greater than the cohort median of 8.5%, deficits in hip geometry and strength estimates were more pronounced. Conclusions: DXA-based hip structural analysis revealed that girls with T1D have unfavorable geometry and lower estimates of bone strength at the hip, which may contribute to skeletal fragility and excess hip fracture risk in adulthood. Higher average glycemia may exacerbate effects of T1D on hip geometry. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32929477/ See more

18.01.2022 17/11/2020 We now have more data on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for people with type 1 diabetes, than ever before. A new study from the University of Gothenburg which tracked users over a number of years, shows that using CGM to continuously monitor blood glucose levels (BGLs) has positive health benefits. In time, CGM technology will supersede portable blood glucose meters and multiple daily finger pricks as more people have access to it. So understanding how it supports patient health is vital for both the user and medical professionals. https://diabetesnsw.com.au//cgm-positive-for-the-health-/

12.01.2022 11th November 2020 Weight loss nearly ‘halves the risk of type 2 diabetes’ Losing just two to three kilograms of weight and exercising for two years nearly halves the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, research has shown. The findings of the Norfolk Diabetes Prevention Study (NDPS), the largest diabetes prevention research study in the world in the last 30 years, have been published in the JAMA Internal Medicine journal. The trial involved more than 1,000 people with prediab...etes and lasted for eight years. During that time, the research team found that support to make modest lifestyle changes, including losing two to three kilograms of weight and increased physical activity over two years, reduced the risk of type 2 diabetes by 40 to 47 per cent. https://diabetestimes.co.uk/weight-loss-nearly-halves-the/ See more

12.01.2022 October 15, 2020 Temple University Study: High Phenolic Extra Virgin Olive Oil May Fight Dementia Groundbreaking research from Temple University in Philadelphia has revealed that consuming extra virgin olive oil that is high in phenolic compounds during early adulthood can protect against dementia. The results of the research conducted by five scientists from Temple University’s Lewis Katz School of Medicine and the Department of Medico-Surgical Sciences and Biotechnology at Sapienza University of Rome reveal that extra virgin olive oil consumption delays the onset of cognitive impairment and dementia by slowing down a group of diseases known as taupathies. https://www.pappaspost.com/temple-university-study-high-p/

11.01.2022 15 October 2020 Dog ownership and adults’ objectively-assessed sedentary behaviour and physical activity Abstract Evidence suggests a positive effect of dog ownership on physical activity. However, most previous studies used self-reported physical activity measures. Additionally, it is unknown whether owning a dog is associated with adults’ sedentary behaviour, an emerging health risk factor. In this study, physical activity and sedentary behaviour were objectively collected ...between 2013 and 2015 from 693 residents (aged 4064 years) living in Japan using accelerometer devices. Multivariable linear regression models were used, adjusted for several covariates. The means of total sedentary time and the number of long ( 30 min) sedentary bouts were 26.29 min/day (95% CI 47.85, 4.72) and 0.41 times/day (95% CI 0.72, 0.10) lower for those who owned a dog compared to those not owning a dog, respectively. Compared with non-owners, dog-owners had significantly higher means of the number of sedentary breaks (95% CI 0.14, 1.22), and light-intensity physical activity (95% CI 1.31, 37.51). No significant differences in duration of long ( 30 min) sedentary bouts, moderate, vigorous, and moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity were observed between dog-owners and non-owners. A novel finding of this study is that owning a dog was associated with several types of adults’ sedentary behaviours but not medium-to-high-intensity physical activities. These findings provide new insights for dog-based behavioural health interventions on the benefits of dog ownership for reducing sedentary behaviour. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-74365-6 See more

09.01.2022 October 28, 2020 The mass balance model of obesity explains the weight loss advantage of a low-carbohydrate diet over a isocaloric low-fat diet Abstract Abstract Background & Aims There is an ongoing debate about the role of macronutrient distribution of the diet in weight management and the potential of its modification as an approach to treat obesity. Our aim was to shed light on this highly disputed topic. Methods This computational study utilized the recently proposed mas...s balance model (MBM) of obesity to simulate the effect of exchanging a high-carbohydrate diet (20% F, 65% C, 15% P; HCD) for an isocaloric very-low-carbohydrate diet (75% F, 10% C, 15% P; VLCD) on body weight in a 70kg person. Furthermore, we investigated whether this model can explain the weight loss associated with the onset of type 1 diabetes. Results Prior any feeding perturbation body weight was stable at ~70kg with a baseline diet of 2 000 kcal (day 0-149). Next this reference diet was exchange by a 2 000 kcal HCD (day 150-400), yet body weight gradually increases to ~73kg. Moreover, after beginning a second isocaloric VLCD (day 400), body weight decreases towards a steady value of ~67.5kg. In addition, it was demonstrated that the MBM can make predictions of body weight loss consistent with the type 1 diabetes treatment during the pre-insulin era. Conclusions The MBM of obesity explains the weight loss advantage of a low-carbohydrate diet over an isocaloric low-fat diet. In addition, this model explains the weight loss associated with the onset of type I diabetes. https://www.medrxiv.org/cont/10.1101/2020.10.27.20220202v1 See more

06.01.2022 2019 Apr 29. Branched chain amino acids impact health and lifespan indirectly via amino acid balance and appetite control Summary Elevated branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) are associated with obesity and insulin resistance. How long-term dietary BCAAs impact late-life health and lifespan is unknown. Here, we show that when dietary BCAAs are varied against a fixed, isocaloric macronutrient background, long-term exposure to high BCAA diets leads to hyperphagia, obesity and re...duced lifespan. These effects are not due to elevated BCAA per se or hepatic mTOR activation, but rather due to a shift in the relative quantity of dietary BCAAs and other AAs, notably tryptophan and threonine. Increasing the ratio of BCAAs to these AAs resulted in hyperphagia and is associated with central serotonin depletion. Preventing hyperphagia by calorie restriction or pair-feeding averts the health costs of a high BCAA diet. Our data highlight a role for amino acid quality in energy balance and show that health costs of chronic high BCAA intakes need not be due to intrinsic toxicity but, rather, a consequence of hyperphagia driven by AA imbalance. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6814438/ See more

04.01.2022 GLUT4 Defects in Adipose Tissue Are Early Signs of Metabolic Alterations in Alms1GT/GT, a Mouse Model for Obesity and Insulin Resistance Abstract Dysregulation of signaling pathways in adipose tissue leading to insulin resistance can contribute to the development of obesity-related metabolic disorders. Alström Syndrome, a recessive ciliopathy, caused by mutations in ALMS1, is characterized by progressive metabolic alterations such as childhood obesity, hyperinsulinemia, and t...ype 2 diabetes. Here we investigated the role of Alms1 disruption in AT expansion and insulin responsiveness in a murine model for Alström Syndrome. A gene trap insertion in Alms1 on the insulin sensitive C57BL6/Ei genetic background leads to early hyperinsulinemia and a progressive increase in body weight. At 6 weeks of age, before the onset of the metabolic disease, the mutant mice had enlarged fat depots with hypertrophic adipocytes, but without signs of inflammation. Expression of lipogenic enzymes was increased. Pre-adipocytes isolated from mutant animals demonstrated normal adipogenic differentiation but gave rise to mature adipocytes with reduced insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. Assessment of whole body glucose homeostasis revealed glucose intolerance. Insulin stimulation resulted in proper AKT phosphorylation in adipose tissue. However, the total amount of glucose transporter 4 (SLC4A2) and its translocation to the plasma membrane were reduced in mutant adipose depots compared to wildtype littermates. Alterations in insulin stimulated trafficking of glucose transporter 4 are an early sign of metabolic dysfunction in Alström mutant mice, providing a possible explanation for the reduced glucose uptake and the compensatory hyperinsulinemia. The metabolic signaling deficits either reside downstream or are independent of AKT activation and suggest a role for ALMS1 in GLUT4 trafficking. Alström mutant mice represent an interesting model for the development of metabolic disease in which adipose tissue with a reduced glucose uptake can expand by de novo lipogenesis to an obese state. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article See more

03.01.2022 GRILLED EGGPLANT INGREDIENTS 1 large eggplant, or 2 medium cut in half moons (thick enough to stand up on skin side) 1/2 tsp ginger 1/4 tsp black pepper... 1/2 Tbsp dried thyme 1/2 Tbsp dried oregano 3 cloves fresh garlic, chopped 2/3 cup balsamic vinegar 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil INSTRUCTIONS 1. In a bowl, add the cut eggplant. Sprinkle with ginger and pepper and toss. 2. Add the dried thyme, oregano, garlic, balsamic, and olive oil. Toss well with your hands, making sure all the eggplant is coated in the liquid from the bottom of the bowl. Let marinate for 10 minutes, toss around eggplant after 5 minutes of marinating. 3. Heat the grill to medium heat. 4. Once the grill is hot, put the eggplant on skin side down. Keep the bowl with the marinade because the finished eggplant is going back in the same bowl. They should be cut thick enough so that they stand up on the skin easily. Flip the eggplant every 3 minutes or so until every side has touched the grill. 5. The key is to keep grilling the eggplant until they are practically falling apart when you pick them up. If they are not soft, the middle isn't fully cooked through. They will get black and charred, and this is what you are looking for. 6. Once the eggplant is falling apart, transfer them back to the marinade. Let them cool for 5 minutes and soak up more marinade and serve.

02.01.2022 NOVEMBER 23, 2020 CPAP for Sleep Apnea Tied to Lower Glucose Levels in Diabetes Most people with diabetes are familiar with several factors that can raise their blood glucose levels including high-carbohydrate meals, inadequate physical activity, and not taking insulin or other medications as prescribed or directed. In some people, psychological or physical stress can also raise blood glucose levels. Ongoing research is also identifying other health conditions that can cont...ribute to higher blood glucose levels in people with diabetes. One of those conditions is obstructive sleep apnea, in which the airways temporarily get blocked during sleep, stopping a person’s breathing for a period of time. Sleep apnea has been associated with a number of bad health outcomes, and a new study suggests that it’s particularly bad for people with diabetes but that effectively treating it can help people with diabetes achieve better blood glucose control. https://www.diabetesselfmanagement.com//cpap-for-sleep-a/ See more

01.01.2022 26 October 2020 Risk of undetected cases of gestational diabetes mellitus during the COVID19 pandemic Siru et al have raised potential concerns about the strategy recommended by the Australian Diabetes Society and other peak bodies to diagnose gestational diabetes (GDM) during the COVID-19 pandemic (1). In their study, 46% of subjects diagnosed with GDM had fasting blood glucose level (FBG) < 4.7mmol/l but raised post-load BGLs and would be missed by the ADS-recommended strategy. The authors suggest that this exposes women and their newborns to significant risks with the potential for significant harm. No outcome data is provided to justify these assertions. https://www.mja.com.au//risk-undetected-cases-gestational-
