What are the effects of intensive control of blood sugar before, during and after surgery in people with diabetes?
People with diabetes face additional challenges when they need treatments, such as surgery, for other conditions. In the August 2023 update to the Cochrane review, reviewers examined whether perioperative glycaemic control might help with this, and we asked joint lead author, D ídac Mauricio from the CIBER of Diabetes and Associated Metabolic Disease in Barcelona Spain to tell us more in this podcast.

Extending the UK's sugar tax to snacks
In the UK, for just over a year, we've been paying the "Soft Drinks Industry Levy" - a tax on sugary beverages intended to reduce our consumption of free sugars.
That was based on taxes that had happened in other countries, however, in the UK high sugar snacks, such as confectionery, cakes, and biscuits make a greater contribution to intakes of... (Source: The BMJ Podcast)

That was based on taxes that had happened in other countries, however, in the UK high sugar snacks, such as confectionery, cakes, and biscuits make a greater contribution to intakes of free sugars as well as energy than sugar sweetened beverages.
Now new research models what extending the sugar t ax to those snacks would do to our energy intake, and then onto the BMI of the nation.

Diabetes Insipidus - the danger of misunderstanding diabetes
Diabetes is synonymous with sugar, but diabetes insipidus, "water diabetes", can't be forgotten. Between 2009 and 2016, 4 people died in hospital in England, when lifesaving treatment for the condition was not given.
In this podcast, we hear some practical tips for non-specialists to aid diagnosis, and how patients should be managed during... (Source: The BMJ Podcast)

"Insul-in" -- The Discovery Files
An MIT-led research team has developed a drug capsule -- about the size of a blueberry -- that could be used to deliver oral doses of insulin, potentially replacing the injections that people with Type 1 diabetes have to give themselves every day. In tests in animals, the researchers showed that they could deliver enough insulin to lower blood sugar to levels comparable to those produced by injections given through skin.

How the appendix could hold the keys to Parkinson ’s disease, and materials scientists mimic nature
For a long time, Parkinson ’s disease was thought to be merely a disorder of the nervous system. But in the past decade researchers have started to look elsewhere in the body for clues to this debilitating disease—particularly in the gut. Host Meagan Cantwell talks with Viviane Labrie of the Van Andel Institute in Grand R apids, Michigan, about new research suggesting people without their appendixes have a reduced risk of Parkinson’s. Labrie also describes the possible mechanism behind this connection.
And host Sarah Crespi talks with Peter Fratzl of the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam, Ge...
