Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how personalized dietary approaches using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) can effectively manage post-prandial glucose response (PPGR) in older adults with prediabetes or early type 2 diabetes.
- Data collected over two weeks indicated that measures like the mean amplitude of glucose excursions (MAGE) and fasting glucose levels were strong predictors of glucose response during meals and oral glucose tolerance tests.
- The findings suggest CGM-based strategies could enhance personalized nutrition and medical interventions for better controlling glucose levels in this demographic.
Article Synopsis
- - Chronic mild sleep restriction (SR) for 6 weeks does not significantly affect levels of free thyroxine (FT4) or thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in adults, but shows a potential sex difference with TSH reductions noted in women only.
- - The study involved 30 healthy participants (mostly women, with diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds), and measured hormonal levels before and after the AS (adequate sleep) and SR phases through blood samples.
- - Results suggest that while FT4 and fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF-21) are unchanged, sustained mild sleep restriction might disrupt the regulation of TSH in women, which could be linked to higher cardiometabolic risks compared to
This study investigates the impact of habitual late calorie intake on glucose metabolism in adults with overweight or obesity and diet or metformin-controlled prediabetes or type 2 diabetes independently of body weight, fat mass, energy intake or diet composition. Participants (n = 26) were classified as Later Eaters (LE) if ≥45% daily calories were consumed after 5 pm and Early Eaters (EE) if not, based on daily caloric intake assessed over 2-wk. EE and LE did not differ in anthropometrics or daily energy intake, but LE consumed more carbohydrates (p = 0.
