This episode continues discussing my personal health journey and data from August 2024 to May 2025 (including limited data from March 2024), focusing on my prediabetes and associated lipid profile changes as updated on 7 May 2025.

The analysis reveals a successful reversal of prediabetes within three months (September to December 2024) through significant lifestyle and dietary modifications, primarily intermittent fasting (IF) and a low-carbohydrate diet (Low-carb). While blood glucose control remained stable within the normal range even with some dietary liberalisation and a cessation of intermittent fasting (IF), the lipid profile showed some increases in total and LDL cholesterol between September 2024 and December 2024, but did drop back down into the normal ranges for May 2025. Thus, to date, key lipid ratios are indicative of a very favourable cardiovascular risk (QRisk2 score).

Taken together, this highlights the close interplay between insulin resistance (IR), blood sugar control, and lipid metabolism, and underscore the importance of continued monitoring and a sustainable healthy lifestyle.

While global average lifespans are increasing, major disparities exist both in terms of lifespan and healthspan, and these disparities are likely to continue in the future, with major regional variations in life expectancy, healthcare access, disease burden, and its socio-economic impact. The modelling for the future requires caution given the modelling methods used, but nevertheless provides an overview of likely future scenarios. These findings point towards a need for both global efforts to reduce the health gap, and regional-specific interventions tailored to different challenges.

Insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome are major and escalating global health problems. Key factors driving these issues include obesity, unhealthy lifestyles, and genetic predispositions. These conditions place a significant burden on individuals and healthcare systems due to morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Effective prevention and management strategies rely on lifestyle modifications, early diagnosis and, in some cases, medication. The continued collection of data and further research on the underlying mechanisms will be essential to combat these complex challenges effectively.

Today we discuss an experience I had with an at-home blood sample collection process for the T1DRA study, a UK-based research initiative investigating type 1 diabetes risk factors in adults. The study aims to identify individuals at increased risk and improve understanding of the condition's development. Participants aged 18-70 provide blood samples, and those with multiple risk markers receive information on type 1 diabetes management and clinical trials. The accompanying video is available on YouTube here and details the sample collection procedure, offering timestamps for viewers' convenience. The study seeks diverse participation to ensure representative findings for the general UK adult population. An unboxing of the study material received can be accessed here.

Although my concerns are about acquiring T2DM, I felt it necessary to partake in this T1DM study. Links available on my YouTube channel.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a complex genetic disorder with significant implications for those affected. While there is currently no cure, advancements in our understanding of the disease, its genetic underpinnings, and the development of targeted therapies are improving both life expectancy and quality of life for those affected. Yet, many challenges remain especially on the metabolic adaptations of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) during chronic infections in the lungs of individuals with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). These adaptations are not simply a consequence of the environment, but an active process driven by specific mutations and metabolic shifts that impact virulence, immune evasion and interactions within the CF lung. A key finding is that mutations in the PDHc, causing shifts in pyruvate metabolism, play a central role in driving this adaption. Further research into these metabolic changes is essential for developing more effective treatment strategies for CF-related infections. The use of advanced metabolomics, proteomics, and in vitro models is essential to understanding this dynamic process.

The convergence of AI and structural biology is revolutionising how researchers investigate complex biological and biomedical problems. By applying these techniques to their research, scientists are closer to developing novel therapeutic strategies and preventative measures. While AI offers an immense acceleration to the generation of hypotheses and models, it should not be seen as a replacement for traditional experimental techniques and the valuable insight that they bring.

NB. My research (MRes and PhD) at Imperial College London during 2012 to 2021 centred around protein crystallisation methodologies and x-ray crystallography, which aided 3-D protein structures determination. Data and information gained from crystallography is vital to the success of rational drug design and medicinal therapeutics and biotechnological applications. If AlphaFold existed in its current form during parts of my research period, I'm positive it would have helped accelerate the painstaking research we conducted and potentially helped boost our findings and results.

Jack and Jill at it again. This time they are reviewing a summary of my comparative analysis of various diets, focusing on their suitability for managing chronic health conditions. The analysis aims to be an evidence-based evaluation, drawing from peer-reviewed studies, randomised controlled trials, clinical guidelines, and reports from authoritative health organisations. It compares six popular diets and 18 or so additional diets, examining their impacts on a range of chronic diseases. This is a work in progress and not an exhaustive list.

Those that are intrigued by this episode and want to know more can get in touch with me directly for a copy of my comparative analysis.

Dr Sean's YouTube video discusses a study published in Nature Medicine examining the link between sleep patterns and chronic diseases. The study, using data from wearable devices like Fitbits, found significant associations between poor sleep quality, quantity, and regularity, and conditions such as obesity, hypertension, and depression. 

Researchers employed long-term data from a large US research program, offering a more comprehensive understanding than previous studies. The video also recommends additional resources on sleep from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). 

Key findings highlight the importance of maintaining consistent, moderate sleep duration for optimal health.
