A rap smackdown of “Epic” proportions.
Baylor University has conducted a study that suggests that writing a to do list at bedtime may help people to fall to sleep quicker as published in the American Psychological Association’s Journal of Experimental Psychology. This study involved 57 students compared sleep patterns of participants who had taken 5 minutes to write down a list of forthcoming activities and duties with participants who recorded completed their completed tasks.
The five unique subgroups based on severity and underlying disease mechanism analysis — reported by Emma Ahlqvist, PhD, of Lund University in Sweden, and colleagues in the Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology — were:
- Cluster 1: Severe autoimmune diabetes (SAID)
- Cluster 2: Severe insulin-deficient diabetes (SIDD)
- Cluster 3: Severe insulin-resistant diabetes (SIRD)
- Cluster 4: Mild obesity-related diabetes (MOD)
- Cluster 5: Mild age-related diabetes (MARD)
Highlights:
•High interpersonal variability in post-meal glucose observed in an 800-person cohort
•Using personal and microbiome features enables accurate glucose response prediction
•Prediction is accurate and superior to common practice in an independent cohort
•Short-term personalized dietary interventions successfully lower post-meal glucosePublication:Personalized Nutrition by Prediction of Glycemic Responses- Cell
There are potential difficulties in the measurement of the gluten content of food including:
