What if instead of daily insulin injections or wearing pumps, just getting a shot every few months could reverse Type 1 diabetes for you – or your dog? It might take ushering in healthy panc... Read more
Scientists have created a non-invasive, adhesive patch, which promises the measurement of glucose levels through the skin without a finger-prick blood test. Scientists have created a non-inv... Read more
Common blood pressure medicine blocks molecule that can trigger the disease A drug commonly used to control high blood pressure may also help prevent the onset of Type 1 diabetes in up to 60... Read more
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease in which the immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, resulting in high blood levels of glucose. A study publishe... Read more
For the more than 1 million Americans who live with type 1 diabetes, daily insulin injections are literally a matter of life and death. And while there is no cure, a Cornell-led research tea... Read more
Study reveals how specific gene and intestinal bacteria work together Keeping the immune system in balance is no small feat. It must remain keenly alert to spot and disarm foreign invaders a... Read more
New diabetes treatment lasts more than two weeks in primates, promising to eclipse current treatment options in humans. Biomedical engineers at Duke University have created a technology that... Read more
UNIST researchers develop digital contact lenses that has the potential to transform diabetes care A recent study, affiliated with UNIST has proposed the possibility of in situ human health... Read more
The new “smart cell patch” developed at UNC and NC State is a proof of principle to treat millions of people with type-1 and advanced type-2 diabetes. For decades, researchers have tried to... Read more
A group of researchers, led by Prof. Yuji Matsuura of Tohoku University’s Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering, has developed a method of measuring blood glucose using far infrare... Read more
Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure, and scientists have found that infusing just a small dose of a cytokine, thought to help cause that failure, can instead prevent or reverse i... Read more
Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death. Patients with type 1 diabetes have their insulin secreting cells destroyed by the immune system and require daily insulin injections. Pancreat... Read more
Scientists from the University of Southampton have developed a molecule that acts as an exercise mimic, which could potentially help treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. The new molecule, call... Read more
A joint effort between diabetes doctors and biomedical engineers could revolutionize how people with diabetes keep their blood sugar levels in check Painful insulin injections could become a... Read more
Scientists have developed the first ultra-thin, flexible device that sticks to skin like a rub-on tattoo and can detect a person’s glucose levels. The sensor, reported in a proof-of-co... Read more
