Ag one.com/juicebox, I know that Facebook has a bad reputation, but please give the private Facebook group for the juicebox podcast, a healthy once over juicebox podcast type one diabetes. This story is a news medical.net it says here that despite high use of continuous glucose monitoring and insulin pump therapy, fear of hypoglycemia remains a significant barrier to physical activity and exercise for adults with type one diabetes. Now this is according to a new research study that will be presented at this year's Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of diabetes in Madrid. Looks like that already happened in September. Here's a quote from Dr Farrell from the University of Dundee in Scotland. Regular exercise can help individuals with diabetes to achieve their blood glucose goals, improve their body composition and fitness, as well as reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes, which is higher in people with type one diabetes. Yet many people living with type one do not maintain a healthy body weight or manage to do the recommended amount of physical activity each week. If you want to learn more about that. There's a link in the show notes. And if you'd like to learn about exercising with type one diabetes, check out the diabetes Pro Tip series at diabetes pro tip.com they begin at Episode 1000 right here in the juicebox podcast. I have one here from let's see smoking cessation and weight gain. Dr Luba Yamin from the from UT Health Houston is investigating the link between smoking and weight gain. Many people fear gaining weight after quitting smoking, which, of course, can discourage them from trying to quit. So they're using glps with people who are trying to quit smoking. They are studying the GLP one agonist, which, of course, is a class of drugs commonly used for treating type two diabetes as a potential aid for quitting smoking while managing while also managing your weight. Initial trials showed promising results with a higher quit rate among participants who received the GLP one compared to the placebo. Those on the GLP one treatment also experience less weight gain. The doctor says they're trying to conduct larger scale clinical trials to further evaluate the effectiveness of GLP one again, for smoking. So now there's a mix here, like, is the GLP helping to take away your craving for smoking, or is it helping to cover for hunger when you remove the nicotine? It's an interesting question, and if you'd like to read the article, there's a link in the show notes. This one@htworld.co.uk says that 10s of 1000s of children and eligible adults living with type one diabetes across England are set to receive an artificial pancreas thanks to cost effective deals secured by the NHS with suppliers of the technology. If you're interested in learning more, there's a link in the show notes. This one's from sciencealert.com While some speculate that trigger for type one diabetes could be a virus, a new study led by researchers from Cardiff University in the UK, points in a different direction, type one diabetes, it says, might start with proteins on bacteria, sparking an omnipodous shift in the immune system. The quote here is type one diabetes, of course, is an autoimmune disease that usually affects children and young adults. That's not completely true at all. Now where the cells that produce insulin are attacked by the patient's own immune system? Okay, they got that, right. Let's see this leads to lack of insulin, yeah, okay, come on. What's the what's the part about the the bacteria, his colleagues link the loss of insulin producing cells with killer T cells, a class of white blood cells that kill certain other cells, including cancer cells or cells infected by a pathogen. Killer T cells seem to play a key role in causing type one diabetes as they kill off beta cells. This new study, the researcher, found that the killer T cells begin doing this when activated by bacterial proteins, specifically proteins from bacteria known to infect humans. Like word here that I can't pronounce. If you'd like to learn more, I will leave a link in the show notes of the podcast player you're listening in right now, and the corresponding web page for this episode at juicebox podcast.com, this one is from wash.edu potential type one diabetes treatment may stem from outsmarting immune cells. Berkeley leads preclinical research with a $2.6 million grant from the Helmsley trust. There is a lot of scientific what I'm going to call Gabriel in this little thing here. If you want to hear more about what they're trying to do, of course, look in the show notes for the WashU link and read all about it. This one is more type two related out of India. The print dot i n fried bake and ultra processed foods are fueling India's diabetes epidemic. This new study, says, studies published in the internal Journal of Food Sciences and nutrition, says having foods low in advanced glycation end products can mitigate burden of obesity linked type two diabetes. This is out of New Delhi, foods such as cakes, chips, cookies, crackers and fried foods, mayonnaise, margin and ultra processed foods, which are rich in advanced like glycanation, glaation and N price eight GES are a leading cause behind India's India being the world's diabetic capital. It says these ages are reactive and potentially toxic. Compounds form when proteins or lipids are glycated or modified by Aldo sugars, which are carbohydrates with within the aldehyde group. This is a government funded trial, if you want to read more about it, I of course left links at the website and in your show notes staying on this path. This is at Food and wine.com these four Ultra processed foods raise your diabetes risk more than others, according to a new study. The study, which was published in The Lancet Regional Health Europe researched analyzed data from more than 300,000 people across eight European countries for an average of 10.9 years. They found that for every 10% increase in the amount of a person's diet made up by Ultra processed foods, that person had a 17% higher risk of developing type two diabetes. But within the ultra processed food category, some were worse than others for diabetes risks. This goes on to explain what Ultra processed foods are, what type two diabetes is. But here are the four things they came up with, savory snacks, like salty packaged snacks and chips. These are often loaded with unhealthy fats, salt and refined carbohydrates, which can contribute to insulin resistance, inflammation and ultimately a higher risk of developing type two diabetes. Ultra processed meats, uh oh, like bacon, sausage and lunch meats usually have higher levels of sodium, preservatives like nitrates and unhealthy fats ready to eat meats. What does that mean? These meals are convenient, but may not help your health. A lot of ready to eat meals will include ingredients that are high in saturated fats, added sugar and sodium. Ready to eat meals are also low in fiber, protein and essential nutrients. The lack of fiber and high calorie content can promote overeating ready to eat meals, I guess, like frozen food and stuff like that. And then sweetened drinks. The study found that drinks sweetened with added sugar as well those with artificial sugars raise the risk of type two diabetes. Sweetened drinks will include a lot of added sugar, and added sugar has been associated with increased inflammation in the body. While artificially sweetened drinks don't usually contain added sugar, they may disrupt the gut microbiome and trigger cravings for sugary foods.
