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 big step towards a functional cure for the disease.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbeing, LifestyleTags: Diabetes, Diabetic, Transplant,
5:2 diet proves better than meds for new diabetics
Posted by ArielTechGeek 344 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Being overweight and obese are significant risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. While losing weight can optimize blood sugar levels and reduce the dosage of prescribed antidiabetic drugs, weight loss can be challenging to achieve and maintain. In a new study, Chinese researchers examined the effect that intermittent fasting utilizing a 5:2 diet had on blood sugar control in overweight typ

In a breakthrough, diabetics’ damaged cells regenerated to produce insulin
Posted by ArielTechGeek 516 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Researchers have taken a big step forward in the quest to regenerate the pancreatic beta-cells damaged by type 1 diabetes. Using FDA-approved drugs usually given to patients with rare cancers, they reprogrammed pancreatic cells to produce and secrete insulin in response to glucose. The discovery could mean that, one day, diabetics won't need to take multiple daily insulin injections.Continue Read
