Dieta mediterrânea com restrição calórica e exercícios reduz em 31% o risco de diabetes

Um importante ensaio clínico espanhol demonstrou que uma dieta mediterrânea modificada, combinada com restrição calórica, atividade física e suporte profissional, reduziu o risco de diabetes tipo 2 em 31% ao longo de seis anos. As descobertas provêm do estudo PREDIMED-Plus, que envolveu quase 5.000 adultos com sobrepeso ou obesidade.

Os pesquisadores acompanharam 4.746 participantes com idades entre 55 e 75 anos que apresentavam síndrome metabólica, mas não tinham diabetes no início do estudo. Um grupo adotou uma dieta mediterrânea com redução calórica, adicionou exercícios moderados, como caminhada rápida, e recebeu orientação para perda de peso. O grupo de comparação seguiu uma dieta mediterrânea padrão sem essas adições.

A new Karolinska Institutet study finds that children with moderate obesity face higher risks of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and lipid disorders in adulthood, even without apparent risk markers. Researchers urge treatment for all such children.

New research published in Nature Medicine reveals that people with prediabetes can normalize blood sugar levels without losing weight. About one in four participants in lifestyle programs achieved this remission, offering protection against diabetes similar to weight loss methods. The key factors involve fat distribution and certain hormones.

A new study shows that a high-fat ketogenic diet can normalize blood sugar levels in mice with hyperglycemia and enhance their muscles' response to exercise. Led by researcher Sarah Lessard, the research indicates that combining the diet with physical activity leads to better oxygen use and endurance. The findings suggest potential benefits for metabolic health when diet and exercise are paired.

Scientists have developed a hybrid obesity treatment that uses GLP-1 and GIP signals to deliver a metabolic enhancer directly into cells. Early tests in mice showed greater weight loss and better blood sugar control than standard therapies. The approach aims to reduce side effects by limiting the drug's action to targeted areas.

Researchers have identified why living at high altitudes reduces diabetes risk: red blood cells absorb excess glucose in low-oxygen conditions. This metabolic shift lowers blood sugar levels, as shown in mouse experiments. A new drug mimicking this effect reversed diabetes in mice, suggesting potential treatments.
