Nutrient Deficiencies Were Common in Children Taking GLP-1 Drugs

Nearly 17% of young GLP-1 users were diagnosed with a nutritional deficiency or related problem within a year, but the study could not show that the medications were the cause.

Healthy Diet Linked to Lower Diabetes Risk Across Genetic Risk Levels

A German study found no evidence that inherited risk changed the relationship between healthier eating and type 2 diabetes, though other biological differences may play a role.

A 10-Hour Eating Window Didn’t Lead to More Weight Loss

A small controlled study found similar results whether adults ate within 10 hours or spread their meals across more of the day.

Obesity Treatment Should Focus on Health, Not Just Weight Loss

Experts say success should be measured by changes in things like blood sugar, sleep, mobility and quality of life, not just pounds lost.

Keto Reduced Liver Fat More Than Two Other Diets in Small Trial

All three diets improved metabolic health after similar weight loss, but keto led to larger short-term improvements in liver fat and some blood sugar measures.

Experimental Drug Helped Mice Lose Fat While Keeping Muscle

Unlike medications that help people eat less, the experimental compound increased how much energy mice used. It has not yet been tested in humans.

Type 2 Diabetes May Look Different at Lower Body Weights

A study of African adults found that lean people with type 2 diabetes showed signs of lower insulin production and a different pattern of complications than those with overweight or obesity.

Healthier Weight Range Linked to Slower Type 1 Diabetes Progression in Youth

Young people who moved from overweight or obesity into a normal BMI range were less likely to progress to clinical type 1 diabetes, though the study cannot show that changing weight caused the difference.

Strength Training During Pregnancy May Help Lower Diabetes Risk

A randomized trial found that women with overweight or obesity who followed a strength-training program had fewer cases of gestational diabetes, though the difference was not strong enough to rule out chance.

An Eight-Hour Eating Window May Help with Type 1 Diabetes

In a small six-month trial, people who limited eating to noon through 8 p.m. improved a key measure of blood sugar control, though they did not lose significantly more weight.

Dollar Store Access Linked to Poorer Health

Communities with more dollar stores had higher rates of obesity, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes, but the study cannot show the stores caused those outcomes.

Gestational Diabetes May Signal Broader Health Risks After Pregnancy

More than 1 million women were tracked after pregnancy, with gestational diabetes linked most strongly to later blood sugar problems and more modest increases in several other health risks.

GLP-1 Use Before Bariatric Surgery Wasn’t Tied to More Weight Loss

Patients taking GLP-1 medications before bariatric surgery lost about the same amount of weight one year later as those who were not taking the drugs.

Endometriosis Was Linked to Higher Type 2 Diabetes Risk

In a study of nearly 3 million women, endometriosis was associated with greater diabetes risk, including among premenopausal women and those without obesity.

Preventing Type 2 Diabetes May Need to Start Earlier

An international group of experts argues that diabetes prevention should begin long before blood sugar reaches the prediabetes range and continue across different stages of life.

GLP-1 Drug Use Linked to Fewer Alcohol-Related Hospitalizations

A large observational study found lower hospitalization rates among adults with alcohol-use disorder who started semaglutide or tirzepatide, but it cannot show that the drugs reduced drinking or treated alcohol dependence.

Grocery Deliveries Helped Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Lower Blood Sugar

In a randomized trial, medically tailored groceries combined with recipes and nutrition support modestly improved blood sugar control among Medicaid patients.

Up to 400 Milligrams of Caffeine Appears Safe for Most Adults

A new American Heart Association scientific statement finds that moderate caffeinated coffee consumption does not appear to raise cardiovascular risk for most adults, though individual responses and caffeine sources vary.

Semaglutide May Improve Advanced Fatty Liver Scarring

A phase 2 trial found improvement in liver fibrosis among some patients with MASH, though the main drug combination did not outperform its comparator.

Diabetes Risk May Reflect Muscle Health, Not Weight Alone

Adults with both obesity and low muscle mass or strength were more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those with obesity alone.

Ultraprocessed Foods May Leave a Metabolic Mark

A large European study found blood-marker patterns linked to higher ultraprocessed food intake, but it does not prove these foods caused the changes.

Small Diet Changes May Support Health Without Raising Food Costs

A modeling study in Scottish adults found that modest swaps away from some meat and dairy could improve diet quality, support public health goals and lower food-related environmental impacts without increasing overall diet costs.

Obesity’s Heart Risks Are Changing, but They Haven’t Disappeared

A large observational study found blood pressure and cholesterol gaps have narrowed among older adults with obesity in several high-income countries, likely because of medication use.

Teen Sleep May Play a Role in Blood Sugar Stability

A study of healthy 18-year-olds found longer sleep was linked with fewer next-day blood sugar swings, but researchers say diet, activity and daily routines may also play a role.

Sugar Substitutes May Not Be as Metabolically Quiet as They Seem

A new review found signs that nonnutritive sweeteners may affect insulin, blood sugar markers and the gut microbiome, but researchers say the evidence still depends on what they are compared with.
