Who ever thought #hookworms might have an benefit for #MetabolicHealth? A small RCT opens the door to the possibility they might prevent #T2D in persons with insulin resistance.

@bedast It really bugs me that these meds, which so many depend upon, are being touted off-label for weight loss ... and that shortages are resulting.

I'm fortunate that my #T2D is under control with diet and exercise at this time, but I know that won't always be the case. I am sure Metformin is in my future, if not one of the other meds as well.

I hope you are able to find some resolution to this crucial availability problem soon.

I think it's also important to note that a lot of issues that we didn't think were related to the gut we are now finding directly connected to the microbiome and that these issues likely extend much further than conditions like #IBS or #SIBO.

Metabolic conditions ie #T2D, #inflmmation, #immune function, and #inflammation are all included in this.

I guess metformin is looking for new indications as we await the results of the first head-to-head trials against #SGLT2i in #T2D.

Intermittent fasting plus early time-restricted eating versus calorie restriction and standard care in adults at risk of #T2D #RCT https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-023-02287-7

#Today I do not want the lunch I brought from home. But I don't like what the cafeteria has on offer and don't feel like ordering out. This is life with #T2D ; sometimes you just have to eat what you brought and be done with it.

The right dietary & lifestyle would minimised the mortality risks in diabetes individuals. In this #cohortstudy of 15 486 patients in the course of 18.5 years of followup .Higher intake of SSBs was associated with higher all cause mortality & #CVD incidence & mortality, whereas intakes of coffee, tea, plain water, and low fat milk were inversely associated with all cause mortality incase of #T2D individual

In late 2021 I was diagnosed with type-2 diabetes. By March 2022 I was out of the diabetic range and in March 2023 it was confirmed that my T2D is in remission. At no point did I use any medication.

I've started a Substack to post about what I did and what I'm doing now. It is, and will remain, free. Link below

I have been dismayed when I get glucose spikes from low carb foods … when I eat a lot of them all at once. (Doh!) Those single grams of carb per serving add up! (I’m looking at you, almond tortillas.) #CGM #T2D

4) How do we know which pts with #T2D are at risk for #CKD? @AmDiabetesAssn & @goKDIGO recently released consensus screening guidelines. Unfortunately, <50% of those with #T2D are screened for albuminuria annually.

I’m grateful to have incrementally learned preventive measures against the ulcers, and relieved at the spontaneous/concomitant cessation of the other symptoms.
I’m grateful that the diagnoses of #T2D and chronic idiopathic axonal polyneuropathy were not delayed longer than 4 decades, and were made before precipitation by some crippling or (more) life-threatening catastrophe.

I tend not to respond to you bedast, you tend to leave out significant relevant points (what specific basal insulin do you use). I do, however, find it interesting that you have been prescribed Mounjaro without ever having seen an endo. I've been diabetic for at least 15 years, and have seen an endo retire, and her protege take me on as his patient - for a total of about 15 years. So, you had a GP prescribe insulin??? That is also unusual.
