Study Links Statins to Glucose Intolerance and Diabetes
A recent study from China has linked a deficiency in Clostridium bacteria in the gut microbiome to statin-induced glucose intolerance and diabetes. The research suggests that altered bile acid profiles may hinder glucose metabolism, but administering ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) could potentially counteract these adverse effects, providing hope for individuals concerned about the impact of statins on their metabolic health.
New Study Suggests Exercise Can Help Avoid Weight Regain After Stopping Weight Loss Drugs
Half of weight loss drug users stop treatment within a year, but a new study suggests exercise may prevent weight regain. GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic can help patients lose 15% of body weight, but side effects lead to discontinuation.

Study Shows SGLT2 Inhibitors May Lower Risk of Kidney Stones in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes
A recent study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that adults with type 2 diabetes may benefit from lower risk of nephrolithiasis by initiating SGLT2 inhibitors. The research compared the effects of different type 2 diabetes medications on the risk of developing kidney stones and found that SGLT2 inhibitors outperformed other medications in reducing the risk of nephrolithiasis. This finding could have significant implications for the treatment and management of type 2 diabetes, as kidney stones can be a serious complication for individuals with the condition.
