Treatment of diabetes requires not only reasonable blood glucose control but also effective prevention of diabetic complications, so as to improve patients’ quality of life. For the prevention of diabetic foot, we can start with small details in daily life to keep diabetic foot away. How to trim toenailsTrim toenails after washing when they are […]
If One Spouse Has Diabetes, the Other Should Increase Monitoring
Living together as a couple means sharing obligations and responsibilities, but it may also mean sharing each other’s risk of diabetes. A study from McGill University in Canada found that having a spouse with diabetes increases the risk of the partner developing the disease.Recently published in the open-access journal BMC Medicine, this finding carries important […]
Why is Diabetes Becoming More Common Among Young People?
Diabetes is increasingly affecting young people. Many of us in our prime never expected to be troubled by diabetes, which impacts our life and work to varying degrees. Why is diabetes trending younger? Therefore, a diet high in oil and protein, without staple foods, sharply increases total calories and raises diabetes risk.
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 […]
Professor Zhou Zhiguang: Advances in Early Identification of Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) has an insidious onset and rapid progression. Many patients first present with severe complications such as diabetic ketoacidosis, imposing a heavy burden on individuals, families, and society. Therefore, strengthening early screening and early prevention of T1D is of great practical significance. At the recently held 27th Annual Conference of the Chinese […]
Improving Obesity Diagnosis and Treatment to Ultimately Enhance Patients’ Overall Health Outcomes
Modern medicine is gradually shifting from a disease-centered to a patient-centered holistic management model.In the face of complex chronic diseases such as obesity, traditional single-discipline diagnosis and treatment can no longer meet clinical needs, and a shift toward multidisciplinary collaborative “team-based care” is essential.This is not a simple return to general practice, but an organic […]
Multidimensional Intervention Model Significantly Breaks Through the Limitations of Traditional Weight-Loss Drugs
Various pathophysiological changes caused by obesity are closely associated with the high incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Modern medicine emphasizes prevention as the priority and advocates proactive intervention before disease onset. For metabolic diseases such as obesity, lifestyle intervention is the cornerstone, while drug research and development has long focused on weight control by suppressing […]
Core Mechanisms of Obesity or Metabolic Abnormalities Leading to Cardiovascular Disease (CVD)
The essence of obesity is the accumulation of abnormal adipose tissue, often accompanied by ectopic fat deposition in the liver, arterial walls, epicardium, and other sites. Such ectopic deposition significantly increases the risk of CVD, including atherosclerosis-induced hypertension, dyslipidemia, and a prediabetic state. Visceral fat deposition also impairs the function of other organs, such as […]
Improved Assessment of Obesity-Related Health Risks in Cardiovascular Diseases
With a deeper understanding of the harms of obesity and its association with cardiovascular disease (CVD), a relatively systematic scientific consensus has been formed in the academic community. Against this background, the Chinese Cardiometabolic Alliance organized multidisciplinary experts to formulate and issue the Expert Consensus on Weight Management in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease (2025) (hereinafter […]
Correlation between Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index and Ambulatory Blood Pressure in Elderly Hypertensive Patients
Studies have shown that nutritional status is an important predictor of mortality and morbidity in various diseases. Patients with malnutrition are more prone to vascular endothelial dysfunction and have a higher risk of adverse cardiovascular events. Emerging evidence suggests that malnutrition may be a new risk factor in hypertensive patients. Previous studies have found that […]
