For decades diabetes diagnosis has depended on blood sugar measurements crossing a set threshold. Researchers now worry this method misses millions of people already developing the disease. Better detection tools are in development to address these shortcomings.
Doctors have long relied on blood glucose levels to identify diabetes risk. The approach works for many but falls short in certain populations where the disease progresses without clear blood sugar spikes.

A new study shows that blood tests can detect signs of Alzheimer's several years before the disease develops. American researchers published the findings in The Lancet.
Only one in five people with high blood pressure receive sufficient treatment in Sweden. Healthcare providers have now agreed on a new care pathway to improve detection and treatment.

Researchers in Sweden have created insulin-producing cells from human stem cells that reversed diabetes symptoms when transplanted into mice. The cells matured after placement in the eye and maintained glucose regulation for months. The work was published in Stem Cell Reports.
