Among adults with type 2 diabetes on a ketogenic diet, the number of low blood sugar events does not change based on whether they use a continuous glucose monitor or traditional fingerstick testing.
For adults with type 2 diabetes on a medically supervised ketogenic diet, using either continuous glucose monitoring or traditional blood glucose monitoring is linked to measurable improvements in...
In adults with type 2 diabetes on a ketogenic diet managed remotely, using continuous glucose monitoring does not change overall time spent in the target glucose range compared to traditional blood...
People with type 2 diabetes on a low-carb diet feel more confident using their glucose data to make decisions when they use a continuous glucose monitor, even though their blood sugar control is just...
In adults with type 2 diabetes, switching to a very-low-carbohydrate diet lowers daily carbohydrate consumption from about 220–230 grams to 65–80 grams within three months, even without tracking food...
Adults with type 2 diabetes who follow a very-low-carbohydrate diet tend to reduce their diabetes medications significantly over three months, no matter how they track their blood sugar levels.
In adults with type 2 diabetes, following a medically supervised very-low-carbohydrate diet for three months is associated with an average drop of 1.5–1.6% in HbA1c levels and a 7–8% reduction in...
For adults with type 2 diabetes on a medically supervised very-low-carbohydrate diet with remote care, using continuous glucose monitoring does not lead to better outcomes in time spent in normal...
A 14-day high-fat diet increases total calorie intake by about 41% in healthy older adults, but does not change baseline levels of the hormone cholecystokinin or its ability to reduce appetite when...
In older adults, eating a high-fat diet does not reduce the ability of the hormone cholecystokinin-8 to signal fullness after eating.
In healthy older adults, eating a high-fat diet for 14 days that significantly increases calorie and fat intake does not change the levels of cholecystokinin in the blood after fasting.
When healthy older adults receive a specific dose of the hormone CCK-8 through an IV, they eat about 11% less food afterward, no matter what they ate before.
A two-week high-fat diet does not change how effectively the hormone CCK-8 reduces hunger in healthy older adults, as measured by how much food they eat afterward.
Blocking the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 decreases eating behavior in KK-Ay mice, suggesting that prostaglandins, along with endocannabinoids, play a role in driving excessive food intake in this...
Blocking the enzyme that produces 2-arachidonoyl glycerol reduces eating behavior in KK-Ay mice, suggesting that this lipid molecule plays a required role in sustaining excessive food intake in this...
In mice with a genetic form of obesity, certain signaling molecules derived from arachidonic acid are found at higher concentrations in the intestines compared to lean mice, suggesting a change in...
In a specific strain of obese mice, overeating occurs because they eat more frequently, not because they eat larger meals or wait longer between meals. This suggests that the biological signals...
In a specific strain of obese mice, higher levels of a fat-related molecule in the intestine correlate with more frequent eating, and blocking a specific receptor in the gut reduces food intake,...
Among trained male cyclists, consuming a diet high in carbohydrates results in a higher amount of time during exercise with blood glucose levels between 121 and 180 mg/dL compared to a...
When trained male cyclists follow the same diet and exercise routine, their blood glucose levels can vary by as much as 30 mg/dL between individuals, suggesting that a one-size-fits-all nutrition...
In trained male cyclists, exercising the day before leads to a small decrease in blood glucose levels during the night, regardless of how many carbohydrates were consumed.
In endurance athletes, the intensity of exercise—measured relative to their individual performance threshold—is the main factor that causes glucose levels in the tissue fluid to rise during training,...
In trained male cyclists, switching to a diet with very little carbohydrate for seven days lowers average glucose levels in the body and reduces fluctuations in glucose compared to a diet high in...
When triglyceride emulsions like Intralipid are delivered directly into the intestine, they may cause minor damage to the intestinal lining, which is detected by a delayed release of LDH during...
