Diabetesdiagnostik kräver bättre verktyg för att upptäcka tidiga fall

Svenska

I årtionden har diagnosen diabetes vilat på blodsockervärden som överskrider ett visst gränsvärde. Forskare är nu oroliga för att denna metod missar miljontals människor som redan håller på att utveckla sjukdomen. Bättre verktyg för upptäckt är under utveckling för att åtgärda dessa brister.

Läkare har länge förlitat sig på blodsockernivåer för att identifiera diabetesrisk. Metoden fungerar för många men brister i vissa befolkningsgrupper där sjukdomen fortskrider utan tydliga toppar i blodsockret.

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.

Study finds prediabetes remission possible without weight loss

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.

Blood test forecasts Alzheimer's symptoms years ahead

Rapporterad av AI

Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have developed a blood test that estimates when Alzheimer's symptoms may begin, using levels of the protein p-tau217. The model predicts onset within about three to four years, potentially aiding clinical trials and early interventions. This advance relies on data from 603 older adults in ongoing studies.

Scientists discover protein triggering early diabetic retinopathy

Researchers at UCL have identified a protein called LRG1 that initiates the earliest damage in diabetic retinopathy, a major cause of vision loss in adults with diabetes. In mouse studies, blocking LRG1 prevented retinal harm and preserved eye function. The findings suggest potential for new preventive treatments targeting this protein.

Study links brain blood flow changes to Alzheimer's risk

Rapporterad av AI

New research from the University of Southern California suggests that subtle declines in brain blood flow and oxygen delivery may be early indicators of Alzheimer's disease. The study, published in Alzheimer's and Dementia, used noninvasive scans to connect vascular health with amyloid plaques and hippocampal shrinkage. These findings highlight the role of brain circulation in the disease process beyond traditional markers like amyloid and tau.
