An elevated blood glucose level one hour after the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) signals a critical metabolic state – even before prediabetes. Affected individuals respond particularly well to lifestyle interventions. This value could become a new clinically relevant biomarker – and enable more targeted, earlier prevention of type 2 diabetes. This is the conclusion reached by a team from the University of Tübingen, Helmholtz Munich and the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD). This research, conducted in cooperation with Prof. Michael Bergman from New York University, has now been published in Metabolism.

Rainfall and flooding frequently disrupt the lives of urban residents worldwide, posing significant public health risks. Mumbai, India - renowned for the ferocity of its monsoon season - stands as a stark example of the human toll that extreme urban flooding can exact. But despite the growing recognition and urgency of these hazards, the health impacts of rainfall remain poorly understood, and those of sea level rise are entirely unquantified.  A recent study led by Princeton University and the University of Chicago takes a closer look at the intersection between climate change, hazards, and public health in Mumbai, finding that deaths caused by rainfall and rising sea levels are almost ten times higher than the official statistics suggest.
