Malattie Metaboliche e Diabetologia
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Recent Advances
What’s new in type 2 diabetes research? In this episode, we explore the latest studies on pathogenesis, early diagnosis, personalized treatment strategies, and connections with conditions like MASLD and neurodegenerative disorders. We also discuss youth-onset diabetes, intensive therapy approaches, digital interventions, and emerging pharmacological targets. A weekly roundup to stay updated on the science that matters.
