“Type 1.5 Diabetes” Study Links Immune and Metabolic Disease
A condition termed latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) is often ignored—as most people, when considering diabetes, think of type 1 or type 2. Type 1 diabetes develops during childhood, when the body is incapable of producing necessary insulin; type 2 diabetes, the most pervasive and commonly diagnosed, is most commonly diagnosed in adulthood, and […]

The Gut Microbiome as a Modifier of Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Syndrome
It is known that diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome are the result of gene/environment interactions but a newly recognized component of the gene/environment interaction is the gut microbiome. In the Keynote presentation, “The Gut Microbiome as a Modifier of Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Syndrome,” Dr. Ronald Kahn will discuss results of his research in mice […]
Cardiometabolic Think Tank Releases New Patient Care Model for Metabolic Syndrome
A new, integrated patient care model has been developed based on consensus recommendations from a Cardiometabolic Think Tank that will accurately identify patients at risk for metabolic syndrome before it develops and recognizes subtypes and stages of metabolic syndrome, to more effectively direct prevention and therapies. The Cardiometabolic Think Tank, organized by the CardioMetabolic Health […]
