Glucose metabolites, rather than glucose itself, have been discovered to be key to the progression of type 2 diabetes.
Oxford Research reveals high blood glucose reprograms the metabolism of pancreatic beta-cells in diabetes. In diabetes, the pancreatic beta-cells do not release enough of the hormone insulin, which lowers blood glucose levels. This is because a glucose metabolite damages pancreatic beta-cell function. An estimated 415 million people globally are living with diabetes. With nearly 5
