The anti-inflammatory effects of #exercise: mechanisms and implications for the prevention and treatment of disease 🧵

nature.com/articles/nri30… Image
2. Physical inactivity is linked to various health problems like #type2diabetes, #heartdisease, #cancer, and more. This is partly because of the accumulation of visceral fat, which triggers #inflammation in the body and promotes the development of these diseases.
3. Exercise has been found to have a protective effect against these chronic inflammation-related diseases, thanks to its anti-inflammatory effect. Regular exercise can reduce visceral fat mass and create an anti-inflammatory environment in the body.

A type 2 #diabetes diagnosis can feel like a death sentence.

A lifetime of needles and disease management, with an increased risk of other disease, amputation, and early death?

But you don't just have to manage diabetes.

In fact, you can cure it completely.
2/

Unlike type 1 diabetes, type 2 is largely a lifestyle disease - and largely preventable.

The pancreas still produces insulin, just not enough to control high blood sugar. Over time, the bloodstream is bathed in sugar and chronic disease begins.
3/
The progression is a vicious cycle:

1️⃣ The body creates insulin to handle elevated sugars.
2️⃣ Insulin directs excess sugar into fat cells
3️⃣ Fat builds up around the liver and pancreas
4️⃣ Inflammation damages the cells of the pancreas that generate insulin

Learning Objectives:

1) Understand the history of the diet-diabetes relationship and science and how insulin therapy changed dietary therapy from carbohydrate-abstention to liberal, high-carbohydrate diets
2) Understand the basis of the AHA philosophy advocating, since 1971, the use of carbohydrate-rich diets (40-60 % of calories) for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Stærkt indlæg fra @sebrushworth om insulin ved #type2diabetes. Jeg tror selv, at det skader patienterne mere end det gavne. #Diabetes-lægerne har desværre alt for meget fokus på langtidsblodsukker. #BigPharma har fuld kontrol over diabetes-området.

Her beskriver @sebrushworth et langt bedre alternativ end insulin ved type2-diabetes: #LOWCARB-diætråd, som med succes blev implementeret i en engelsk #almenpraksis. 46% af patienterne blev helbredt!

Problemet ved type2-diabetes er so regel at man er for tyk. Man bliver endnu tykkere af insulin. Længere er den egentlig ikke. Men diabeteslægerne i DK gør som @novonordisk og ordinerer Novo's dyre insulin-analoger. 👎

Time for a shit in gear as the @GoggleDocs continue their £takeover of the @cardiomet_CE account.

From treatments that are still in the development stage now back to basics.

In this mini-thread today we are going to cover a couple of sessions from #EASD2021 that caught our 👁️
First up led by Prof. Roy Taylor of @UniofNewcastle in collaboration with the @UniofOxford Diabetes Trial Unit.

You may remember Prof. Taylor from the seminal DiRECT Study 👉directclinicaltrial.org.uk

Today I will be going through some of the preliminary data from the ReTune Study Image

... more from the #ESCCongress2021 from the @GoggleDocs #Takeover of the @cardiomet_CE

Next up the EMPEROR-Pooled analysis and some of the questions it asks

How does empagliflozin compare with ARNI (sacubitral/valsartan
2)
EMPEROR-Pooled was a prespecified analysis of the two 'sister' studies

EMPEROR-Reduced Trial
nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

and

EMPEROR-Preserved Trial
nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

With very similar #HeartFailure populations, separated by an ejection fraction cut off of 40%
3)

As you can see

📍Very similar results in terms of the primary and secondary #HeartFailure outcomes.

‼️ Although clear attenuation of benefit seen in pople with higher ejection fractions (EF)

Glycemia Reduction Approaches in Diabetes: A Comparative Effectiveness Study (GRADE)

Q. What next after metformin?

MET plus:
✅GLP-1ra (liraglutide)
✅Insulin(glargine)
✅SU (glimepiride)
✅DPP4i (sitagliptin)

But

Summary of glycaemic outcomes

🥳GLP-1ra & Basal Insulin did best

💩DPP4i did worse. In particular if baseline HbA1c>7.8%

Bottom line - I don't think DPP-4i is a good option if HbA1c >7.8% (62mmol/mol)

There's a new meta-analysis out in @bmj_latest on low-carb diets on remission of #type2diabetes.

Here are my thoughts in a LONG thread. 🤓 Image
The short version:

1) this adds nothing new 😕
2) long term RCTs on this are so flawed/heterogeneous we can't compare them meaningfully 😴
3) please stop doing meta-analyses on low-carb and glycaemia (with one exception h/t to @DylanMacKayPhD)
This MA isn't too different from previous MA - it just puts the continuous variable: glucose concentration into a dichotomous variable: remission yes/no.

1/11 I think that the most important piece of research since 2017 about putting #type2diabetes into remission was published today in @BMJNutrition

The results are simply astonishing 😲

A twitter thread.... #MedTwitter #LCHF

Here's the paper👇

nutrition.bmj.com/content/early/…
2/11 The study is by @lowcarbGP @jen_unwin + others and looks at reversing T2DM and pre-diabetes by lifestyle change, in particular by ⬇️sugar and starchy carbs
3/11 The study builds on the work of Prof Roy Taylor's DiRECT Study which found that *severe* calorie restriction could put T2DM into remission👍
More info here 👇

This was great news but SO many people find calorie restriction IMPOSSIBLE TO SUSTAIN 🤔🤷‍♂️

Excited to see my first co-first author paper of my PhD out in @NatureComms! Tweetorial:

In 2016 the Schwartz Lab @UWMDI_UWMed showed a single injection of FGF1 into the brain can permanently revert #Type2Diabetes in @justsaysinmice. We @tunepers lab asked: HOW? (1/9)
With the wet-lab superstar @mariebentsen, we replicated this experiment, but this time, collected hypothalami from these mice at several timepoints following drug injection for #singlecell #transcriptomics with @10xGenomics (2/9)
Our computational analyses found that FGF1 induced massive changes to non-neuronal cells, specifically tanycytes and astrocytes in the first week. Inspired by work from @LiddelowSA on glial reactivity, we asked if FGF1 induced an A2 or A1 state in astrocytes (3/9)

In this thread I will mention precautions to be taken by #Diabetes patients in today’s scanario with #COVIDー19 #coronavirus #India #Mumbai (Ref IDF) @drmohanv @DrAmbrishMithal @AskDrShashank @docanoopmisra @Unnikri @DrDeepakKrishn1 @serioustaurean @DNeurosx @viswas_mr (1)
Recommendations for general public are doubly important for patients with #Diabetes & those living in their close contact 1.Wash hands thouroughly and regularly 2.Avoid touching face before washing and drying hands #COVIDー19 #coronavirus (2)
Clean and disinfect any objects & surfaces touched frequently (door handles, mobile phones, tv remotes). Don’t share towels, food, glasses. (3)

November is #DiabetesAwarenessMonth! Do you know the difference between #Type1Diabetes and #Type2Diabetes?
#Type1Diabetes is less common than type 2, ~ 5% of people w/ Diabetes have it. Diet, sugar intake & lifestyle habits do not cause #T1D. It is caused by an autoimmune reaction that destroys the cells in the pancreas that make insulin.
Without insulin, blood sugar can’t get into cells & builds up in the bloodstream. High blood sugar is damaging to the body and causes many of the symptoms and complications.

This was always going to be a packed out session (even at 5pm!): how we can use c-peptide measurements to improve the diagnosis of #diabetes
#DUKPC
What's c-peptide? It's a molecule we make during the process of producing insulin. So it can be used to look at how much insulin you produce: people with #Type1diabetes have very very low c-peptide levels, while people with #Type2diabetes have higher levels.
#DUKPC
This means a c-peptide measurement can differentiate between #Type1diabetes & #Type2diabetes. But how? In the past, tests were expensive & inaccurate. The #ExeterDiabetes team changed this...

Really looking forward to this one: precision medicine. It’s all about tailoring treatments for the individual and moving away from a one size fits all approach. #dukpc
.@markmccarthyoxf explains precision medicine could help us answers questions like:
Who is at greatest risk of #diabetes?
Who will respond best to different treatments?
Who will progress quickly or slowly?
#dukpc
Looking at people’s genetic information can help us spot who is at highest risk of #Type2diabetes. There are lots of outstanding questions about these genetic risk scores, but the future potential is exciting. #dukpc

Fair to say #Type2diabetes has grabbed the limelight this morning, but now for some exciting updates on #Type1diabetes prevention
#dukpc
Polly Bingley is up first to talk TrialNet - an international network of scientists dedicated to the prevention of #Type1diabetes.
In people with rheumatoid arthritis you don’t wait until someone needs a joint replacement before you intervene. Similarly, Polly tells us we need to be moving forward the point at which we act to target the immune response that causes #Type1diabetes #dukpc
