Impact of glycemic control on coccidioidomycosis outcomes in patients with underlying diabetes mellitus in central California

This study examined how blood sugar control affects outcomes in patients with both diabetes and coccidioidomycosis, a fungal infection common in central California. Researchers found that patients with poorly controlled diabetes (higher HbA1c levels) had higher rates of serious lung disease with cavities and were less likely to recover from the infection. The study highlights that managing blood sugar levels may be just as important as taking antifungal medications when treating this dual condition.

Hypoglycemic Effect of Pleurotus citrinopileatus and Hericium erinaceus Buccal Tablets on Diabetic Mice

Researchers created special tablets from two edible mushrooms (yellow oyster mushroom and lion’s mane) enriched with trace elements (chromium, zinc, germanium) to treat diabetes in mice. After three weeks of treatment, the high-dose tablets reduced blood sugar levels by 29%, improved cholesterol levels, boosted the body’s natural antioxidant defenses, and shifted the gut bacteria toward beneficial types that support metabolic health. These results suggest that mushroom-based treatments could potentially offer a natural way to help manage diabetes.
