🟧 High Altitude May Protect Against Diabetes
⬜ researchers discovered that living at high altitudes lowers diabetes risk because low oxygen triggers red blood cells to absorb more glucose, reducing blood sugar.
⬜ Researchers also tested a drug that mimics this effect in mice, which successfully lowered blood sugar and outperformed existing treatments.
⬜ This finding reveals a new role for red blood cells in glucose regulation and may lead to novel diabetes therapies..
