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
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
Type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune condition whereby the patient’s own immune system attacks the pancreatic islets, destroying them in the process. Since these islets are responsible for producing insulin …read more Continue reading Reversing Type 1 Diabetes With a Patient’s Own 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

Implanting a pouch of stem-cell-derived pancreas cells under the skin of type 1 diabetics has enabled them to live without insulin injections for years and maintain non-diabetic blood sugar levels, according to the results of a clinical trial. It’s a b… Continue reading Insulin-free life for diabetics closer after successful cell pouch trial

Clinical trials of a new, once-a-week insulin have shown that it controls blood sugar as well as daily injections of an existing long-acting insulin in type 1 and type 2 diabetics. This means that some diabetics may soon not need to inject themselves a… Continue reading Once-weekly insulin proves on par with daily shots for sugar control
While they might sound like healthy choices, a large study in Finland has revealed the detrimental impact of eating most fruits and several grains on diabetes risk. The study also revealed a helpful food ally in fighting off the disease.Continue Readin… Continue reading Surprising group of healthy foods found to raise diabetes risk
