The promising results of a Phase 2 trial testing a new, once-weekly insulin treatment for type 2 diabetes have been published in The New England Journal of Medicine. The weekly injection was found to be as safe and effective as daily insulin shots and … Continue reading Once-a-week insulin shot for type 2 diabetes passes Phase 2 trials
A new drug delivery method inspired by traditional Chinese topical treatments has produced some impressive results as part of a study in Singapore. The research carried out at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) demonstrates how magnets can be u… Continue reading Magnets and a pinch of skin combine for slow, safe insulin delivery
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

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
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
Diabetes is characterized by trouble producing or managing insulin, and one emerging treatment involves converting stem cells into beta cells that secrete the hormone. Now, scientists have developed a more efficient method of doing just that, and found… Continue reading Mice with diabetes “functionally cured” using new stem cell therapy
