Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose due to insufficient insulin production, ineffective insulin action, or both. Persistent hyperglycaemia can damage blood vessels, nerves, kidneys, eyes, and other organs over time. Type 2 diabetes accounts for the vast majority of diabetes cases.
A study in Diabetologia shows type 2 diabetes in lean Africans is driven by insulin shortage, not insulin resistance, and may require different treatment than standard guidelines.

New research shows GLP-1 receptor agonists are associated with reduced asthma exacerbation risk in overweight, obese, and morbidly obese patients without diabetes, with risk reductions of 14.6%, 12.2%, and 13.3% respectively. The findings were presented at the 2026 AAAAI Annual Meeting.
Michelle, a mental health therapist, was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and given 24 months to live. Through yoga and meditation, she shifted her mindset and is now thriving six years after diagnosis, with tumors continuing to shrink.

Recent studies on metformin and age-related macular degeneration report conflicting findings: a JAMA Ophthalmology cohort found no association, while studies in Ophthalmology Retina and BMJ Open Ophthalmology found reduced odds of neovascular and intermediate AMD, respectively. All were observational.
Lupin reported record Q3 FY2026 revenue of INR 7,168 crores and a 31.1% EBITDA margin, while preparing to launch a generic semaglutide and shifting focus to innovation. The company also secured US FDA approval for Pegfilgrastim and EU approval for ranibizumab biosimilar.
Blockbuster drugs worth hundreds of billions face generic competition as patents expire through 2032. Indian drugmakers could capture $3-5 billion of the opportunity, while GSK and Bristol Myers Squibb prepare for revenue losses.
New research: any cardiometabolic risk factor justifies MASLD screening in overweight adults, and MASLD independently worsens sepsis, bleeding, and other outcomes in hospitalized Crohn's disease patients.
Semaglutide may lower risks of adult-onset seizures and alcohol-related hospitalizations, new studies find. Brazil approved five semaglutide injectables, and a commentary updates obesity care with GLP-1 drugs.
