Professor Yang Shufang from Taizhou People’s Hospital Affiliated with Nanjing Medical University shared insights on the current management status of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD).Given that MASLD involves numerous risk factors including obesity, glycemic abnormalities, and metabolic disorders, its treatment requires multidisciplinary collaboration. Core therapeutic strategies focus on reducing body mass index (BMI) and […]
Pathogenesis and Prevalence of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD)
Professor Yang Shufang from Taizhou People’s Hospital Affiliated with Nanjing Medical University states that the liver serves as the core hub regulating energy, glucose, and lipid metabolism in the human body. Energy-dense diets combined with sedentary lifestyles readily trigger obesity, metabolic syndrome (MetS), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)—key risk factors for MASLD development. The […]
Mushroom Foods Suitable for Diabetics and Precautions
Diabetic patients can generally consume mushrooms, but strict portion control and careful selection of varieties are required. Mushrooms are rich in dietary fiber and trace elements, benefiting glycemic control. However, certain high-sugar varieties require cautious intake.Low-sugar and high-fiber mushrooms such as shiitake, enoki, king oyster, and lion’s mane slow glucose absorption and stabilize postprandial blood […]
Diabetic Patients May Develop Hypercalcemia
Diabetic patients may develop hypercalcemia, yet there is no direct causal relationship between the two conditions. Diabetes and hypercalcemia have distinct pathological mechanisms, even though they can coexist in the same patient. Diagnosis of hypercalcemia relies on integrating clinical manifestations and laboratory findings. Timely medical evaluation is mandatory when hypercalcemic signs are detected in diabetic […]
The Potential Association Between Hypercalcemia and Diabetes
Hypercalcemia is not diabetes, yet a potential association may exist between the two conditions.Hypercalcemia typically refers to elevated blood calcium concentrations exceeding normal reference ranges, while diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia. Although pancreatic β-cell dysfunction may disrupt calcium metabolism and subsequently trigger hypercalcemia, these remain distinct clinical entities.In certain scenarios, […]
Five Foods Ideal for Calcium Supplementation in Diabetic Patients
Diabetic patients can choose low-fat milk, broccoli, tofu, dried small shrimps, and sesame paste for calcium supplementation. However, strict portion control is essential. It is highly recommended to develop a personalized dietary calcium plan under dietitian guidance.
Thin Patients Do Not Necessarily Have Type 1 Diabetes
Being underweight does not necessarily indicate Type 1 diabetes; individuals may also develop Type 2 diabetes. Although Type 1 diabetes is typically associated with insufficient insulin secretion and patients are often lean, Type 2 diabetes can also occur in people with normal or low body weight.
What Should Diabetic Patients Pay Attention to When Supplementing Calcium?
For individuals with diabetes, calcium supplementation is not only for strengthening bones but also a crucial component of overall health management. However, calcium supplementation is not simply taking tablets; there are many critical details requiring special attention, and improper choices may pose potential risks. Core principles for scientific calcium supplementation: Health management for diabetic patients […]
Is Diabetes Contagious Through Contact?
You can rest assured that diabetes is not contagious. Therefore, there is no need to worry about contracting diabetes through contact with diabetic patients.
Types of Metabolic Surgery for Diabetes Treatment
Metabolic surgery is a type of surgical procedure that alters gastrointestinal anatomy to treat type 2 diabetes. It is primarily indicated for type 2 diabetes patients with a certain degree of obesity. Common procedures include sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass surgery, adjustable gastric banding, and biliopancreatic diversion.
