A lot of research explains which diets may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Much research remains to be done about how our genes respond to the foods we eat. A new study led by researchers at Lund University adds to evidence that variations in the AMY1 gene may affect the way the body breaks down starchy foods. Unhealthy food habits are risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. An

Previous research from Lund University has shown that diabetes can be divided into five groups with different disease progression. A new study published in Nature Genetics demonstrates that there are also genetic differences between different groups of patients. An important goal of the research is to contribute with knowledge that will enable tailored treatments of patients with type 2 diabetes.

Food impacts not only the body but also the brain. Researchers at Lund University strive to understand how a diet rich on fat and sugar impacts memory functions in relation to obesity and type 2 diabetes. Their new study on mice shows that although an unhealthy diet leads to memory impairment, the damage does not have to be permanent. Obesity is a risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes and car

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. People with increased risk of type 2 diabetes need to exercise more than others to achieve the same results, according to new research from Lund University in Sweden. The cause of type 2 diabetes is linked to both genetics and lifestyle. If you have an immediate relative (mother, father, sibling) with type 2 diabetes,
