This is a crisis

Eteisvärinää voi ehkäistä hoitamalla pitämällä huolta verenpaineesta, veren sokeritasapainosta ja välttämällä ylipainoa.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has regained weight and appears to have obesity-related health problems such as high blood pressure and diabetes, with officials looking for new medicines abroad to treat him, South Korea's spy agency says.

Due to the alarming number of diabetes cases in Malaysia, the government has decided to cut down on the use of sugar in its events.
Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said sugar will be decreased by 50 percent while drinks will be served without sugar.

Forget keto — Ozempic might finally kill the low-carb diet trend

-A new report suggests GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic could be overtaking keto in popularity.

-GLP-1 drugs, which may lead to significant weight loss, are changing consumer habits.

-But high costs and limited access to GLP-1s keep low-carb diet relevant

”… jokainen gramma sokeria, jonka he nauttivat, vaikutti heidän epigeneettisen ikänsä nousuun”, tutkijat kirjoittavat tiedotteessa.

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Medicine, researchers in the United Kingdom (UK) estimated the onset age, number of years spent, and life loss in diabetes-related multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs) among 46 million English adults. They found that diabetes accelerated the onset of severe MLTCs by 15–20 years, significantly reduced life expectancy, and varied in impact across age groups. While hypertension, cancer, depression, and coronary heart disease were found to be major contributors in older adults, mental health conditions and asthma were found to be significant in younger adults.

Conventional obesity treatment, based on the First Law of Thermodynamics, assumes that excess body fat gain is driven by overeating, and that all calories are metabolically alike in this regard. Hence, to lose weight one must ultimately eat less and move more. However, this prescription rarely succeeds over the long term, in part because calorie restriction elicits predictable biological responses that oppose ongoing weight loss. The carbohydrate-insulin model posits the opposite causal direction: overeating doesn't drive body fat increase; instead, the process of storing excess fat drives overeating. A diet high in rapidly digestible carbohydrates raises the insulin-to-glucagon ratio, shifting energy partitioning towards storage in adipose, leaving fewer calories for metabolically active and fuel sensing tissues. Consequently, hunger increases, and metabolic rate slows in the body's attempt to conserve energy. A small shift in substrate partitioning though this mechanism could account for the slow but progressive weight gain characteristic of common forms of obesity. From this perspective, the conventional calorie-restricted, low-fat diet amounts to symptomatic treatment, failing to target the underlying predisposition towards excess fat deposition. A dietary strategy to lower insulin secretion may increase the effectiveness of long-term weight management and chronic disease prevention.

Conclusions
Among US adults without traditional risk factors, high normal 2-h glucose level was positively associated with all-cause mortality. This result highlights the potential importance of maintaining a lower normal level of 2-h glucose for preventing mortality in individuals who are conventionally considered to be cardiovascular healthy.
