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

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
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

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
The beta cells of the pancreas don’t need the assistance of other pancreatic cells to produce insulin, according to new research. The findings are not only a potential game-changer for diabetics, but they challenge a long-held assumption about how the … Continue reading Pancreas cells can go it alone when it comes to producing insulin
People living with diabetes might have a new hope. Scientists have tested a new drug therapy in diabetic mice, and found that it boosted insulin-producing cells by 700% over three months, effectively reversing their disease.Continue ReadingCategory: Me… Continue reading Diabetes-reversing drug boosts insulin-producing cells by 700%
