Researchers who’ve developed an oral insulin that has proven effective at reducing blood glucose and avoiding hypoglycemia in mice, rats, and baboons are set to take their drug to human clinical trials as soon as 2025. They’re hopeful it’ll be availabl… Continue reading Oral insulin set for human trials in 2025, may be available in 2-to-3 years
Scientists have discovered a new mechanism for how type 2 diabetes takes hold, and demonstrated in mice that blocking a particular enzyme could open a new avenue of treatment for the disease.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Diabetes, Dia… Continue reading Scientists discover new “cause” for diabetes, opening new treatments
While it’s known that regular walking can help you ward off diabetes, a new study attempts to quantify the speed that maximizes the exercise’s benefits. It turns out a little extra pep may go a long way toward cutting your risk of the disease.Continue … Continue reading Speed counts when walking to beat diabetes, says new study
Managing diabetes usually involves regular shots of insulin or other drugs, but soon patients might only need to inject themselves a few times a year. Stanford has developed a hydrogel-based delivery system that slowly releases drugs over months to con… Continue reading Slow-release diabetes drugs could cut shots from daily to 3 times a year
Diabetes patients who are sick of daily insulin shots may soon only have to inject themselves once a week. A year-long phase three clinical trial has shown that a weekly form of the hormone is just as effective in managing the disease as the daily form… Continue reading Weekly insulin dose aces phase 3 trials for easier diabetes management
A new study has found that for type 2 diabetics, eating only between certain hours of the day, on an intermittent fasting or a time-restricted diet, is more effective for weight loss than calorie-controlled eating and has the same positive effect on bl… Continue reading Time-restricted eating found to be effective for type 2 diabetics
A phase 3 clinical trial has shown that a drug called teplizumab can slow down progression of type 1 diabetes in children and teenagers with a recent diagnosis. The trial’s success could help expand the options for patients and relieve some burdens of … Continue reading Diabetes-delaying drug shows promise in phase 3 clinical trial
When diagnosing type 2 diabetes, physicians can look for a range of typical symptoms such as frequent urination and excessive thirst. Now, researchers say the development of other illnesses in the body might need to be added in as a predictive tool.Con… Continue reading Previous illnesses might point to future diabetes risk, says study
