Bone health requires special attention in people with diabetes, as osteoporosis develops due to the combined effects of multiple factors. From metabolic disorders to lifestyle habits, every link can become an invisible threat to bone health. Below is an in-depth analysis of these influencing factors.Abnormal calcium-phosphorus metabolism is a key contributing factor. When blood glucose […]

Thomas van Sloten: Advocating for Dementia as a Core Outcome Measure in Diabetes Clinical Trials
Thomas van Sloten from Utrecht University in the Netherlands observes a rising prevalence of dementia among individuals with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. He analyzes the underlying drivers and mitigation strategies, advocating that dementia should be integrated as a core outcome measure in clinical trials for diabetes treatments.In recent years, the global incidence […]
High Body Fat Percentage Is Associated with Higher Diabetes Risk
Body fat percentage refers to the proportion of total body fat weight relative to total body weight, also known as body fat percent.The specific formula for calculating body fat percentage is:Body Fat Percentage = Total Body Fat ÷ Total Body Weight × 100%to obtain an estimated value.The normal and healthy ranges for body fat percentage […]
Acanthosis Nigricans May Lead to Diabetes
Acanthosis nigricans is a skin disease, while diabetes is a metabolic disease. They are not the same type of condition.However, patients with acanthosis nigricans tend to develop hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance in the body, which over time can induce diabetes. Many patients with acanthosis nigricans also develop diabetic complications. The detailed analysis is as follows:Acanthosis […]

What to Do About Hair Loss in Diabetic Patients?
Hair loss in people with diabetes can be improved by controlling blood glucose, adjusting diet, supplementing nutrition, reducing stress, and using medications.Hair loss may be related to poor blood glucose control, malnutrition, high mental stress, hormonal imbalance, side effects of drugs, and other factors. If there is heavy hair loss or alopecia areata, seek combined […]
The Relationship Between Hyperlipidemia and Diabetes
I. Pancreatic β-Cells Under Lipotoxic AttackHyperlipidemia acts as a hidden silent killer, especially the surge in free fatty acids and triglycerides, which inflicts lipotoxicity on pancreatic β-cells.Excess lipid deposition in β-cells opens a Pandora’s box, triggering endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, severely inhibiting insulin synthesis and secretion.Under long-term lipotoxic assault, β-cells may undergo apoptosis, […]
The Genetic Mechanism of the “Neuro-Adipose Regulatory Axis” Underlying Obesity
On January 15, 2026, the research team led by Professor Weng Jianping (President of Anhui Medical University, Chair Professor at University of Science and Technology of China) and Researcher Zheng Xueying published a study in Metabolism entitled “Integrative Functional Genomics and Fine-Mapping Identify Regulatory Mechanisms of Multivariate Obesity GWAS and Its Cardiometabolic Implications”.By constructing an […]
Core Diagnostic Criteria and Pathogenesis of Normocalcemic Primary Hyperparathyroidism (NPHPT)
Normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (NPHPT), a special subtype of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), is easily overlooked in clinical practice due to normal serum calcium levels and insidious early symptoms. With the popularization of serum calcium screening and advances in imaging technology, the detection rate of NPHPT has been increasing year by year.At the Chinese Endocrinologist Association Annual […]
Abnormal Insulin Secretion: The Core Cause of Diabetes and Hypoglycemia
I. The Hidden Truth About Insulin SecretionInsulin, a hormone crucial for blood glucose balance, behaves in a particularly notable way in people with obesity.The secret behind this is that insulin resistance and delayed secretion often occur together.Imagine that after a meal, your body needs insulin to help glucose enter cells, but for some reason, the […]
