What is DiabetesHoy?
DiabetesHoy is an independent project that summarizes public news about diabetes (sensors, medication, clinical studies, diet, exercise and complications) and always links to the original source of each one so you can verify it.
Does DiabetesHoy's content replace medical advice?
No. All content is for informational purposes only and does not replace the diagnosis, treatment or advice of a healthcare professional. Always consult your medical team before making decisions about treatment, medication or diet.
How often is the news updated?
New stories are added as relevant developments appear in the sources we follow. There's no fixed schedule, but you can check each article's publication date on its own page.
How are sources selected?
We prioritize public and specialized sources: scientific societies, regulatory agencies, media outlets specializing in diabetes and medical publications. Every DiabetesHoy article links directly to the original source used to write it.
Are the articles written by medical professionals?
No. DiabetesHoy is a news curation and summarization project, not a medical outlet or healthcare institution. That's why every article links to its original source, so you can check the full information and verify it with your medical team.
What's the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes?
Broadly speaking, type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the body stops producing insulin, and is usually diagnosed in childhood or youth. Type 2 diabetes is linked to progressive insulin resistance and tends to appear in adulthood, though every case is different. For a diagnosis or personalized information, consult a healthcare professional.
What is a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor?
It's a small device worn on the skin that continuously measures glucose levels in interstitial fluid, showing the data on a phone or reader, without needing a finger prick every time. You can see examples of news about these devices in the Sensors category.
