Non-invasive ECG device for diabetics live-monitors your blood sugar

A new continuous glucose monitor (CGM) that is not only non-invasive but that predicts blood sugar levels from ECG data promises to shake up diabetes management. The device is being showcased at the 2024 Taiwan Innotech Expo.Continue ReadingCategory: B… Continue reading Non-invasive ECG device for diabetics live-monitors your blood sugar

‘Insulin with a switch’ will help diabetics avoid dangerous hypos

An insulin that switches itself on and off in response to blood glucose levels has proven successful in lowering the risk of dangerously low glucose levels, or hypos, in animals. According to researchers, the drug holds great promise for the tens of mi… Continue reading ‘Insulin with a switch’ will help diabetics avoid dangerous hypos

New type 2 diabetes treatment could mean an end to insulin shots

86% of type 2 diabetes patients treated with a new procedure no longer needed insulin throughout the two-year-long study they participated in. That procedure could be a real game changer for nearly half a billion people currently estimated to be living… Continue reading New type 2 diabetes treatment could mean an end to insulin shots

Glucose-responsive nanotech prevents dangerously low blood sugar

Nanosized particles that release glucagon, the hormone responsible for raising blood glucose levels, on-demand could mean that diabetics don’t need to worry about potentially dangerous low blood sugar levels, according to new research.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Glucose-responsive nanotech prevents dangerously low blood sugar

“Functional cure” for diabetes restores insulin production with stem cells

A patient with type 1 diabetes has been functionally cured of the disease, requiring no insulin doses for over a year. The treatment involves growing and transplanting new insulin-producing cells from the patient’s own stem cells.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading “Functional cure” for diabetes restores insulin production with stem cells
