In clinic I’m constantly looking at glucose spikes on the continuous glucose readings my patients with T2D bring in. This is mine, someone bought me a milky coffee and look!! Each 100ml of milk contains a teaspoon of sugar @DiabetesUK avoiding sugar means you may avoid lifelong medication 👍

vegetables. If they are your sole source of micronutrients... ...you might want to think about that (see graph).

@BenBikmanPhD You need to write a book on glucagon. Am sure I'm not the first to suggest it.

I'm very interested in this recently-published paper (link below) that details the remarkable improvements in #type1diabetes with GLP-1 agonists (#semaglutide; #wegovy/#ozempic). These drugs get a lot of attention for the improvements in #type2diabetes, but the improvements in #type1diabetes highlight what I believe is the main benefit in disorders of #hyperglycemia (i.e., #diabetes). Many claim that the benefit of GLP-1 agonism is the insulin-secretagogue effect (i.e., they stimulate insulin release; this idea is appropriately challenged). This study removes insulin from the equation because people with T1DM don't have sufficient beta cells to make sufficient #insulin. However, they DO have ample alpha cells producing FAR too much #glucagon. The late Dr. Roger Unger proposed that T1DM is as much a disease of too much glucagon as it is too little insulin, and was able to correct T1DM by simply inhibiting glucagon. (As a reminder, whereas insulin seeks to lower blood glucose, glucagon seeks to raise it.) That semaglutide is able to correct glycemia in people with T1DM while lowering insulin needs is evidence, to me, that the glucagon-inhibiting effect is the primary mechanism of improving glucose in people with diabetes. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

That pause may end up being a defining moment in the Biden presidency. Given this week's rulings, everything seems different now.

A stationary low pressure system sending smoke from Canadian wildfires into our nation's capital and largest media markets, where it cannot be ignored, might just be the surest sign of Divine intervention on a global scale that we've seen in quite some time.

🔥 Wednesday, June 7, 2023 will forever be remembered as one of the worst air quality days in the Northeast's history due to wildfire smoke. This is all due to wildfires that aren't even burning in the United States. (@willcano6) myradar.com/news/northeast…

This is interesting. Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that working and building muscle at locations most remote from the head would enhance blood flow back to the brain, especially when pushing against the effects of gravity.

In this one, a high-velocity resistance training was associated with improvements in executive function of mobility-limited older adults, something that appeared to be mediated by changes in lower-body muscle strength, power, and muscle thickness.

@ChrisPalmerMD @mohelwan2022 @BirdsEy81626938 The question of sustainability is interesting as it apparently assumes the food most conveniently available is what people should be eating. To me, eating keto is the easiest thing to do without relying on convenience and the fast food marketplace. It's mostly eating real food.

The reason we are getting more case reports of the ketogenic diet for serious mental illness is because it is DUMBFOUNDING how effective it can be for some people. When clinicians see it, they feel compelled to share it with the world!
Iain Campbell, Ph.D.@IainCampbellPhD

-New Case Study- A psychiatrist trials medically supervised ketogenic diet for the first time at bipolar patient's request. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37098202/ "In the presented case study of a male patient, thanks to the introduction of the ketogenic diet, full remission of the disease was achieved..." "The breakthrough was a complete absence of depression, which had accompanied the patient for 8 years, entry into a state of complete remission..." "After the introduction of the ketogenic diet, the man’s mood changed drastically and an improvement occurred at every level of his functioning. The nutritional intervention was conducted under the supervision of a clinical nutritionist and a psychiatrist." Critically the psychiatrist mentions: "On the basis of the described process, it can be assumed that not only the state of ketosis, but also its intensity (so-called depth) can determine the mood-stabilizing effect." I have noticed this. Similar to epilepsy perhaps some people may only see effects in deeper ketosis >1.5 or 2 mmol/L. I have not personally noticed additional benefit above 3 or 4 mmol/L, except when fasting. Interested to know if anyone has seen evidence of a ketone/GKI threshold for psychiatric (or other conditions). @ProfDanielSmith @ZSarnyai @ShebaniMD @DominicDAgosti2 @janellison @ChrisPalmerMD @KetoPotterRDN @DrRSBrown @KaniaZupec @GeorgiaEdeMD

@ChrisPalmerMD With respect to food, is it more likely a “poisoning” or an insufficiency of some kind?

The first place to look is our food supply, but we also need to look at environmental toxins, such as plastics, pesticides, other chemicals, etc.

Obesity solution: Eat less, move more. Guess what? People ARE moving more, yet total energy expenditure is declining. This is exactly what I was talking about on the @hubermanlab podcast: Something in our environment is poisoning our mitochondria. nature.com/articles/s4225…

@cadwego @hagstromreport Count me among those who do not believe our food system will ever be "fixed" by the next farm bill (or the one after that). What we need is a whole new approach to the dramatic issues facing us today. Can't put new wine into old wineskins...

@kairyssdal It’s not like we didn’t all know something was up, given the timing of the hostages being released. But it’s so sad it would take over 40 years for someone with specific knowledge of what happened to come forward. Perhaps the most consequential election of the last half century!
