Does a Glucose Monitor Help Without Insulin?
In an open-label 26-week trial, adults with type 2 diabetes not on insulin lowered HbA1c 0.9 percentage points more with a CGM; the device maker paid.
Is Metabolic Health More Important Than Weight?
A 44-study meta-analysis finds poor metabolic health predicts heart risk at least as strongly as weight category — but with caveats about pooled data.
How Many People Have Clinical Obesity?
A 786,557-person analysis finds a new clinical obesity definition counts more older adults than BMI but fewer young children; the authors call it preliminary.
Can GLP-1 Drugs Slow Aging?
Semaglutide extended median lifespan in female mice, but the human anti-aging case rests on a company preprint and unpublished biomarker data.
Does Exercise Beat Weight-Loss Drugs for Your Arteries?
In a prespecified S-LiTE analysis, one year of exercise — not liraglutide alone — tracked with thinner carotid artery walls in 130 adults with obesity.
Does a Longevity Diet Work in Humans?
In old mice a low-protein diet with added methionine cut fat and frailty without cutting calories but did not extend life; a human diabetes link was unadjusted.
Can a GLP-1 Pill Work as Well as a Diabetes Pill?
In an 810-person phase 3 trial in China, an investigational oral GLP-1 pill lowered HbA1c about as much as the diabetes pill dapagliflozin over 32 weeks.
Does Processing Change How Food Is Metabolized?
A small crossover matched two meals on calories and nutrients. Insulin, energy use and fuel choice still differed — an acute lab signal, not weight or disease.
