Diabeticneuropathyis a type of nerve damage caused by diabetes that affects about half of people with diabetes. Chronic exposure to high blood glucose damages the nerves. Nerve damage is more common in people who have difficulty controlling their blood sugar, are overweight or obese, have kidney ...
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease affecting the ability to process blood sugar. Reviewed by a board-certified endocrinologist.
Type 2 diabetes can damage your body’s large blood vessels, causing plaque to eventually build up and potentially leading to a heart attack, stroke, or vessel blockage in the legs (peripheral vascular disease). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, adults with diabetes ar...
The chart below gives you a summary of how well Farxiga lowers blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes in the studies. About how much did fasting blood sugar levels go down (in milligrams per deciliter [mg/dL])? About how much did HbA1c go down? About what percentage of people ...
Insulin lowers the blood glucose level. When the blood glucose elevates (for example, after eating), insulin is released from the pancreas to normalize the glucose level by promoting the uptake of glucose into body cells. In patients with diabetes, the absence of insufficient production of or ...

The current study attempted to fill gaps in the current literature by examining the mediating effect of resilience on relationships between blood sugar level and physical, as well as psychological, health correlates of diabetes within African American female patients who had been referred to a ...
Definitions of type 2 diabetes diagnosis A diagnosis of T2D was confirmed if any of the following criteria were satisfied12,13,14: (1) self-reported diagnosis by a physician; (2) current administration of glucose-lowering medications or insulin therapy; (3) a random blood glucose concentration ...
Higher cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with lower risk of type 2 diabetes. However, the causality of this relationship and the biological mechanisms that underlie it are unclear. Here, we examine genetic determinants of cardiorespiratory fitness
