Host-Microbe Composition in Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes

HIIT Provides Multiple Advantages in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes

Vascular Disease Is A Significant Concern for Patients with Diabetes

Letter from the Editor

My good friend and owner of St. Pete Bike and Fitness, Mark Yeager, told me that April was the best month business-wise in his long history. He sells bikes costing as much as $13,000 (don’t ask me what mine cost), but most of the bikes he sold in his record month were priced around $400.

Riding a bike was one activity that you could do during our Stay at Home period, and so many, many people started riding.

Figuring that any exercise was better than none, we encouraged patients to ride slow and long; however, many of my riding friends with diabetes felt their glucose levels were better when they did some bursts of high intensity, high speed riding.

This week our intern, George McConnell, PharmD. Candidate, LECOM School of Pharmacy, has a great feature on how this idea of High Intensity Interval Training can make a real difference in glucose control.

Did You Know: What Fruit Can Lower A1c and Triglycerides?

Blueberries are dietary sources of polyphenols, specifically anthocyanins. Anthocyanins have been identified as having a strong association with type 2 diabetes risk reduction; however, to date, few human clinical trials have evaluated the potential beneficial health effects of blueberries in populations with type 2 diabetes. In a recently published study, researchers investigated the effects of blueberry consumption for 8 wk on cardiometabolic parameters in men with type 2 diabetes. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-design human intervention study was the first to assess the health effects of consuming 22 g freeze-dried blueberries (∼1 cup fresh blueberries) daily for 8 wk in men with type 2 diabetes. Results showed that HbA1c and fructosamine, biomarkers of glycemic control, and triglyceride concentrations were significantly lower for those consuming freeze-dried blueberries than for those consuming the placebo. Further subgroup analyses demonstrated that in lipid-lowering medication users only, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and triglyceride concentrations were significantly lower for those consuming freeze-dried blueberries The liver enzymes AST and ALT were significantly lower for those consuming freeze-dried blueberries for 8 wk than for those consuming the placebo. The results showed a 0.4 reduction in A1c and a reduction of 20mg/dL. for triglycerides.
