Pro-Palestinian demonstrations on U.S. campuses have become a symbol for the growing rifts among Democrats about Israel.

An ex-staffer of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy took a jab at Rep. Matt Gaetz over the Florida Republican's post on Hunter Biden's guilty verdict , the latest dust-up in a long-standing feud between the two Republicans.

Democrats offered a muted celebration to the Supreme Court's ruling Thursday upholding access to a common abortion medication, warning that the Trump-led Republican campaign against reproductive rights is far from over.

Sen. Patty Murray wrote that threats against medication abortion led by Donald Trump and Republicans “have not gone away.”

“I think this would elicit laughs if not outright scorn from many Americans,” Elbridge Colby wrote.

Type 2 diabetes poses significant global health challenges, affecting both the quality of life and healthcare systems. This systematic review evaluates the efficacy of fasting and fasting-mimicking diets (FMD) in managing type 2 diabetes, with a focus on their effects on glycemic control, lipid profiles, and overall metabolic health in adult patients. A comprehensive search of PubMed and Cochrane Library databases identified several studies utilizing various fasting protocols, including intermittent fasting and FMD. Data synthesis and bias assessment were conducted using established methodologies, including the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 (RoB 2) tool. The review found that fasting interventions significantly improve glycemic control and reduce body weight, with some protocols notably lowering HbA1c levels (p<0.05), highlighting the strong potential of fasting in diabetes management. However, the results varied, suggesting that individual differences in metabolic responses and adherence levels influence outcomes. In conclusion, while fasting and FMD show promise for improving metabolic health and managing diabetes, more standardized research is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms, optimize protocols, and confirm long-term benefits. Future research should prioritize larger sample sizes and extended follow-up periods to inform comprehensive clinical practice guidelines.
