Many people with diabetes feel frustrated: they are already taking glucose-lowering medication and watching their diet carefully, yet their post-meal blood sugar is still a bit high. What can they do?In fact, for people with type 2 diabetes, small details during meals can also affect blood sugar fluctuations.Today I will share several practical tips to […]
3 Types of Foods That Help Protect the Kidneys for People with Diabetes
The kidneys are hard-working organs. Even when under heavy burden, they do not send obvious signals to their “owner” for relief. Only when they can no longer function properly do symptoms appear—by which time kidney damage is already severe.This is why many people with diabetes only discover kidney damage when they have reached advanced diabetic […]
Pre-existing Diabetes in Pregnancy: In-depth Interpretation of the Joint ES/ESE Clinical Practice Guideline
Health management not only during pregnancy but also before and after pregnancy is critical for maternal and neonatal outcomes. For women with pre‑existing diabetes mellitus (PDM), how to implement individualized full‑cycle treatment and management has long been a key clinical focus.At the 2025 Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), […]
Substantial Progress Made in Innovative Treatments for Diabetic Retinopathy
Substantial and ongoing advances have been achieved in innovative therapeutic approaches for diabetic retinopathy (DR).The latest breakthroughs are highlighted in the following areas:Nano-Drug Delivery Technologies Break Through the Blood-Retinal BarrierTargeting the pain point of repeated intravitreal injections required by traditional anti-VEGF drugs,nano-drug delivery systems have achieved critical breakthroughs.The TAT-iRGD dual-targeting nano eye drops developed by […]
Innovations in Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment Strategies: Diversified Targets and Long‑Acting Drug Delivery
In recent years, pharmacotherapy for diabetic retinopathy (DR) has gradually shifted from traditional single‑target anti‑VEGF intervention to multi‑pathway coordinated regulation.Evidence‑based medical data for the bispecific antibody faricimab (Ang‑2/VEGF‑A dual inhibitor) in DR treatment continues to accumulate.Post hoc analyses of the YOSEMITE/RHINE trials revealed that faricimab significantly enhances vascular stability compared with aflibercept, and the injection […]
Basic Research on Diabetic Retinopathy Establishes Core Evidence for Precision Diagnosis and Treatment
Basic research on diabetic retinopathy (DR) in 2025 focused on the dissection of pathological networks, biomarker discovery, and therapeutic target development, achieving multi‑dimensional breakthroughs covering immunity, metabolism, and the gut‑eye axis, and laying core evidence for precision diagnosis and treatment.In terms of pathogenic mechanism networks:Studies revealed that high glucose drives angiogenesis via the perlecan‑HIF‑1α axis […]
AI and Big Data as Enabling Technologies for Diabetic Retinopathy Screening
AI and big data have become enabling technologies for diabetic retinopathy (DR) screening.Diabetic retinopathy is the most common microvascular complication of diabetes and the leading cause of blindness among the working‑age population worldwide.With population aging and the rising prevalence of diabetes, the situation for DR prevention and treatment has become increasingly severe.AI and big data […]
Do You Understand the Meaning of Thyroid Hormone Indicators?
Thyroid hormones play a vital role in the maturation of the cerebral cortex, especially in the development, differentiation, and functional maturation of the fetal nervous system.Insufficient thyroid hormones during the fetal and neonatal periods can lead to mental retardation, deafness, and cretinism; in children, they cause growth retardation; in adults, they result in memory loss […]
Interpreting the Antibodies in Thyroid Function Reports
In recent years, the incidence of thyroid diseases has been increasing year by year.Among them, the prevalence of Autoimmune Thyroid Diseases (AITD) in the general population is approximately 10%.Some retrospective studies even suggest that AITD may be associated with the development of thyroid cancer.Therefore, an increasing number of medical professionals have begun to focus on […]
Precautions for Measuring Blood Glucose at Home
Many people with diabetes measure their blood glucose at home. Experts remind that there are many important points to pay attention to; otherwise, the accuracy of the results may be affected. Please keep the following in mind:
