Naveed Saleh, MD, MS | January 8, 2021 In recent years, the gut microbiome has received much attention. The microbiota plays an important role in health and pathology. Hard-to-treat nosocomial infections in hospitalized patients, for instance, often derive from the microbiome, where antibiotic use selects for antibiotic-resistant organisms. Antibiotic use should always be carefully considered, […]
From: SuppVersity – Nutrition and Exercise Science for Everyone 8/15/18 If you’re following my friend Alex Leaf on Facebook, you will have heard about the role of “nutrient order” (that’s not “nutrient timing“) as an important determinant of your postprandial glucose response. If you haven’t heard about this, yet, let me briefly bring you up to speed: In […]

Acta Diabetol (2018). https://doi.org/10.1007/s00592-018-1175-2 Abstract Aims Probiotics and/or prebiotics could be a promising approach to improve metabolic disorders by favorably modifying the gut microbial composition. Objectives To assess the effects of probiotics and synbiotic on glycemic indices in prediabetic individuals […]
February 20, 2018 The DIETFITS Randomized Clinical Trial Christopher D. Gardner, PhD JAMA. 2018;319(7):667-679. doi:10.1001/jama.2018.0245 Key Points Question What is the effect of a healthy low-fat (HLF) diet vs a healthy low-carbohydrate (HLC) diet on weight change at 12 months and are these effects related to genotype pattern or insulin secretion? Findings In this randomized clinical trial […]
– Delayed-release microcapsules of nicotinic acid induce favorable microbiome changes MONDAY, Dec. 18, 2017 (HealthDay News) — A targeted microbiome intervention, accomplished through microencapsulated delayed-release niacin, beneficially affects insulin sensitivity in humans, according to a study published online Dec. 6 in Diabetes Care. Daniela Fangmann, Ph.D., from the University of Kiel in Germany, and colleagues […]
“An antihistamine is a type of pharmaceutical drug that opposes the activity of histamine receptors in the body,” that’s what Wikipedia knows about antihistamines. This, and the fact that there are H1-antihistamines and H2-antihistamines, that they target the histamine H1/2-receptors and that they are used to treat “problems” from allergic reactions in the nose (e.g., […]
Posted on September 28, 2015 This one has a bit for everyone. Relationship of Insulin Dynamics to Body Composition and Resting Energy Expenditure Following Weight Loss (Hron et al., 2015) I think study was actually done a few years ago, originally published here(blogged about here), and re-analyzed through the eyes of Chris Gardner. I think. […]
Posted on July 15, 2015 Many pre-diabetic, diabetic, and insulin resistant people have used the low carbohydrate diet to successfully manage their blood glucose levels. It just plain works. FACT (P<0.05). However, a small subset of this population fails to achieve normal fastingglucose. This is likely due, in part, to a type of circadian mismatch induced […]
Sarah Hallberg | TEDxPurdueU Published on May 4, 2015 Can a person be “cured” of Type 2 Diabetes? Dr. Sarah Hallberg provides compelling evidence that it can, and the solution is simpler than you might think.
Date: August 25, 2014 Source: UT Southwestern Medical Center Summary: A crucial link between high levels of insulin and pathways that lead to obesity has been discovered by researchers, a finding that may have important implications when treating diabetes. The discovery was made by studying mice engineered to lack receptors for a hormone called glucagon. […]
Miriam E. Tucker August 04, 2014 Walking at alternating levels of intensity improves insulin sensitivity in people with type 2 diabetes, whereas walking at a continuous pace but expending the same amount of energy does not, a new study finds. The results were published online August 4, 2014 in Diabetologia by Kristian Karstoft, MD, of the Center of Inflammation and Metabolism, Rigshospitalet, […]
12.09.2013 by Kristina Fiore Staff Writer, MedPage Today Insulin therapy prompts a flood of macrophages into subcutaneous adipose tissue — an effect that appears to be independent of how much weight patients gain once they start the treatment, researchers found. In a small observational study, levels of macrophages around fat cells rose similarly for all […]
