A team from Stanford University has developed an ultrafast-acting form of insulin that promises to work up to four times faster than current commercially available formulations. The novel drug has only been screened in animals so far but the researcher… Continue reading Ultrafast-acting form of insulin developed by Stanford researchers

The newly published results of a clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of diet and exercise as a front-line type 2 diabetes treatment reveal nearly two-thirds of patients achieved complete disease remission after just 12 months of lifestyle interventi… Continue reading Diet and exercise reverses diabetes in 61% of patients, new trial reports
Insulin has proven an invaluable, life-saving hormone since the first diabetes sufferers were injected with it in the 1920s, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement. Scientists at the University of Utah have been coming at this from an i… Continue reading Fast-acting hybrid insulin borrows tricks from sea snail venom
Imagine a device that lets people with diabetes use an app or remote control to give themselves a boost of insulin when they need it, without an injection. Researchers from ETH Zurich have developed a prototype device that can do just that, using elect… Continue reading Insulin-releasing implant prototype could let diabetics ditch needles
One of the disastrous effects of diabetes is the harm it can cause to the retina, with this degeneration of blood vessels in the eye now the leading cause of new blindness in working-age adults. An international team of scientists has developed technol… Continue reading Modified smartphone detects early signs of diabetes-induced blindness
A newly developed experimental drug could help mitigate some of the dangerous side effects caused by a once-promising diabetes medication. Early animal tests suggest the novel combination treatment is both safe and effective at helping regulate blood s… Continue reading Experimental molecule may reduce side effects of controversial diabetes drug
So much of what we do relies on a certain societal structure that has been absent for a few months now. When the days run together, it’s hard to remember to do the things that must happen daily. You think you did something, and maybe you’re right, but it’s quite …read more
Researchers from Stanford University have developed a breakthrough technique that combines two diabetes drugs into a single injection. Previously these two compounds required separate injections, creating a barrier for treatment that led to very few di… Continue reading New two-in-one injection promises diabetics better blood sugar control
Viruses are getting a pretty bad rap lately, but they’re not always our enemy. In a new study led by the University of Verona, researchers have used plant viruses to make new nanoparticles that show promise in mice for treating autoimmune diseases like… Continue reading Plant virus nanoparticles pitched as treatment for autoimmune diseases
