A study has warned that moderate strength training in women can help prevent type 2 diabetes.Researchers from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and the University of Southern Denmark followed 99,300 middle‑aged and older women for 8 years and conducted a detailed analysis of their lifestyle and exercise habits.The results showed that exercises […]

Clinical Staging and Three-Tier Prevention Strategies for T1DM
For a long time, insulin replacement therapy has been the cornerstone of treatment for type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). However, clinical practice has long been challenged by issues such as the risk of hypoglycemia, weight gain, and aggravated insulin resistance. With in-depth exploration of disease mechanisms, the preservation of residual β‑cell function and adjuvant non‑insulin […]
Professor Zhou Zhiguang: Stratified Interventions Based on Different Stages of the Disease
At the recently held 27th Annual Conference of the Chinese Diabetes Society (CDS 2025), Professor Zhou Zhiguang from the National Clinical Research Center for Metabolic Diseases, the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, shared insights on stratified interventions for type 1 diabetes (T1D) based on different disease stages.In recent years, research on the prevention […]
Diabetes-Related Depression Often Occurs in These Four Groups
If depression is called a “cold of the mind,” this “cold” can be a fatal blow for people with diabetes. Recent studies show that the prevalence of depressive symptoms in patients with type 2 diabetes is 3–5 times higher than in the general population, and the recurrence rate of depression is 8 times higher than […]
Four Keys to Reducing Diabetes Risk
There are internationally recognized measures for diabetes prevention. If fully implemented, the incidence of diabetes can be reduced by at least 50%. Diabetes experts have summarized four key practices for preventing diabetes.Learn MoreThe United States pioneered medical reforms integrating diabetes education into diabetes treatment. Sustained high-quality clinical care and self-management are critical for diabetes management. […]
Possible Interaction Between Hypertension and Malnutrition
In recent years, some scholars have proposed the concept of “malnutrition‑inflammation‑atherosclerosis syndrome”.This syndrome consists of three core components: malnutrition, inflammation, and atherosclerosis.The three components interact and aggravate each other, forming a vicious cycle.Malnutrition can induce chronic inflammation, which in turn promotes the progression of atherosclerosis, including vascular wall damage and calcification.Therefore, malnutrition may lead to […]
Correlation between Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) and Ambulatory Blood Pressure in Elderly Hypertensive Patients
The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is a simple and effective prognostic evaluation tool that can rapidly assess the nutritional status of elderly individuals. In recent years, numerous studies have confirmed that GNRI has important value in predicting the prognosis of patients with various diseases, including hemodialysis, cancer, heart failure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. […]
Diabetes Prevention: Why Exercising in the Afternoon Is More Beneficial?
A study using two major databases—the UK Biobank and NHANES—consistently found that moderate‑to‑vigorous physical activity (MVPA) performed in the afternoon to evening was associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes and a more favorable glycemic metabolic profile. This association remained significant after controlling for total exercise volume.Unlike previous studies that mainly focused on […]
Preventing Diabetes: Timing Your Exercise Matters More Than You Think
Over the past few decades, sports medicine has focused almost entirely on the health impacts of exercise volume and intensity, while paying insufficient attention to the timing of exercise. However, a growing body of basic and epidemiological evidence shows that human metabolic regulation exhibits distinct circadian rhythms. The same stimulus applied at different times of […]
Pay Attention to Abnormal Blood Pressure to Prevent Diabetic Complications
Diabetes combined with high blood pressure significantly increases the risk of occurrence and progression of macrovascular and microvascular complications, as well as the risk of death in patients.Conversely, controlling high blood pressure can markedly reduce the risk of diabetic complications and cardiovascular events.For most patients with diabetes and hypertension, the blood pressure control target is […]
