blood sugar levels

(McMaster University) Researchers at McMaster University have found that brief high intensity workouts, as little as six sessions over two weeks, rapidly lower blood sugar levels in Type 2 diabetics, offering a potential fix for patients who struggle to meet exercise guidelines.The small proof-of-principle study, conducted on eight diabetics, appears in the latest edition of the Journal of Applied Physiology.

(University of Missouri-Columbia) As the number of people diagnosed with diabetes continues to grow, researchers are focusing on discovering why the prevalence of the disease is increasing.

John Thyfault, an assistant professor in MU's departments of Nutrition and Exercise Physiology and Internal Medicine, has found that ceasing regular physical activity impairs glycemic control (control of blood sugar levels), suggesting that inactivity may play a key role in the development of Type 2 diabetes.

Two studies show that diet soda drinkers have more belly fat than non-diet soda sippers and are at increased risk for raised blood sugar levels.

Even a little physical activity after meals has a profound impact on blood sugar levels for people with type 1 diabetes, preliminary research suggests.

Recent experiments showed nicotine had a direct relationship to blood sugar levels: the more nicotine there was in blood, the higher the blood sugar level.

Researchers have added a new element to the "artificial pancreas" that may help the 3 million Americans living with type 1 diabetes better control their blood sugar levels.

Smoking, high blood pressure, high blood sugar levels, and obesity -- four preventable risk factors -- are literally robbing years from our lives.
