Dairy foods do not adversely impact fasting lipid profile, BP in metabolic syndrome

18 Sep 2021

A diet rich in full-fat dairy does not significantly affect fasting lipid profile or blood pressure (BP) in men and women with metabolic syndrome compared with diets limited in dairy or rich in low-fat dairy, reveals a study. Dairy fat, when consumed as part of complex whole foods, does not pose a negative effect on these cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors.

Dietary choline supplements, but not eggs, up fasting TMAO levels

17 Sep 2021

A recent study has shown no significant rise in trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) or platelet reactivity in healthy individuals who consumed four eggs daily, despite high choline content in egg yolks. However, choline bitartrate supplements providing similar total choline has increased both TMAO and platelet reactivity, indicating that the form and source of dietary choline differentially contribute to systemic TMAO levels and platelet responsiveness.

Empagliflozin reduces CV death or HHF in HFpEF

16 Sep 2021 by

Empagliflozin significantly reduces the risk of cardiovascular (CV) death or hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) vs placebo in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) with or without diabetes, according to results of the EMPEROR-Preserved trial presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2021.

CVD risk increases with intake of saturated fats from meat

16 Sep 2021 by

Regular intake of saturated fatty acids (SFA) from meat could increase cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk whereas dairy sources, grains, fruits, and vegetables could be cardio-protective, suggests a study in the UK.

Licogliflozin shows promise in polycystic ovary syndrome

15 Sep 2021

Dual sodium-glucose co-transporter 1/2 (SGLT1/2) inhibition with licogliflozin appears to produce reductions in hyperinsulinaemia and hyperandrogenaemia in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, as shown in a phase II study.

Clinical benefits of flash glucose monitoring with FreeStyle Libre™

15 Sep 2021

Various studies have shown the beneficial effects of the FreeStyle Libre™ flash glucose monitoring system for the continuous monitoring of glucose levels in type 1 and type 2 diabetes (T1D and T2D) patients. While clinical trials have demonstrated a reduced time in hypoglycaemia, fewer hypoglycaemic events per day, and significant reduction in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), real-world data have shown improved glycaemic control in these patients.

Optimising glycaemic control with FreeStyle Libre™ for better patient management

15 Sep 2021

The FreeStyle Libre™ flash glucose monitoring system includes a sensor which automatically measures and continuously stores up to 8 hours of glucose readings, allowing patients to monitor their glucose levels without the need for painful finger pricks. Physicians play an important role in reviewing and analysing glucose data that is available through LibreView to support patient management.
