Association between omega-6 fatty acids and diabetic retinopathy risk: a systematic review and meta-analysis | Nutrition & Diabetes
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a progressive microvascular complication of diabetes and a leading cause of vision loss worldwide. Despite advances in glycemic and ophthalmologic management, additional modifiable factors influencing DR onset and progression require further exploration. Emerging evidence suggests a pivotal role of omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids in retinal vascular health. To systematically synthesize and quantify associations between omega-6 fatty acids, including linoleic acid

Evaluating the reproducibility and verifiability of nutrition research: a case study of studies assessing the relationship between potatoes and colorectal cancer | Nutrition & Diabetes
The credibility of nutritional research is dependent on the rigor with which studies are conducted and the ability for independent assessment to be performed. Despite the importance of these, more work is needed in the field of nutrition to buttress the trustworthiness of nutrition research. To develop and apply a process for evaluating the rigor, reproducibility, and verifiability of nutritional research, using the relationship between potato consumption and Colorectal Cancer (CRC) as a case st

Global burden of 13 non-communicable diseases attributable to high fasting plasma glucose from the GBD 2021 study | Nutrition & Diabetes
High fasting plasma glucose (HFPG) is a major risk factor for diseases, posing a serious public health challenge. This study examines the global burden of 13 non-communicable diseases (NCDs) attributed to HFPG. We used the 2021 GBD Study to analyze deaths and DALYs linked to HFPG( > 4.90–5.30 mmol/L). Socio-Demographic Index (SDI) was used to assess development levels, with subgroup analyses by geography, year, gender, and SDI. In 2021, HFPG contributed to 5.15 million deaths and 151.95 milli

Dosage exploration of the effects of honey and its derivatives on cardiometabolic outcomes: an overview of systematic reviews and GRADE-assessed updated meta-analysis | Nutrition & Diabetes
Cardiovascular diseases and diabetes are associated with significant mortality, morbidity, and economic burden, highlighting the need for alternative preventive strategies. Honey bee products, including honey, royal jelly, and propolis, are considered potential interventions for managing cardiometabolic risk factors. This umbrella review aimed to compare the effectiveness of these products in cardiometabolic health. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were systematically searched from i

Postprandial glucose response to a low-sucrose chocolate spread in adults with type 1 diabetes: a randomized, double-blinded, cross-over, controlled trial | Nutrition & Diabetes
Novel advances in food technology enable the production of foods with significantly reduced sucrose without the use of additives. We tested the glycemic response of subjects with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) to a novel sucrose-reduced chocolate spread, as well as its acceptance and palatability. A randomized, double-blind, crossover, active-controlled trial comparing the glycemic response to two test-meals: 20 grams of the sugar-reduced spread (1.6 grams sucrose), and 20 grams of control chocolate spre
