Trump administration is failing to address spread of measles, experts say As number of cases climbs past 1,000, experts say CDC is not taking obvious steps amid funding cuts

CDC leadership and RFKJr is utterly failing to respond adequately to the measles epidemic continuing in USA, due to cuts in funding monitoring and reporting of infection has been cut back which further muddies the picture of how bad measles is in the States. 🧡 #HealthPolicy

Exercise in type 1 diabetes: real-world data on glucose levels and hypoglycaemia risk from over 420,000 exercise sessions - Diabetologia Aims/hypothesis This large observational cohort real-world study explored the effects of three forms of exercise (walking [WALK], aerobic excluding walking [AER] and anaerobic [ANAER]) on glucose leve...

How does exercise impact glucose levels in T1D? Analysis of 428,058 exercise sessions shows aerobic exercise lowers glucose more than anaerobic, with greater 24 h glycaemic benefits but higher acute hypoglycaemia risk. #T1D #Diabetes #Exercise link.springer.com/article/10.1... πŸ”“
