Researchers at Stanford University are developing a new insulin formulation that begins to take effect almost immediately upon injection, potentially working four times as fast as current commercial fast-acting insulin formulations. The…

MIT’s Mathematical model could lead to better treatment for diabetes
One promising new strategy to treat diabetes is to give patients insulin that circulates in their bloodstream, staying dormant until activated by rising blood sugar levels. i-e Insulin will be used only…
Diabetes in mice cured rapidly using human stem cell strategy
Researchers have converted human stem cells into insulin-producing cells and demonstrated in mice infused with such cells that blood sugar levels can be controlled and diabetes functionally cured for nine months. The…
AI can detect low-glucose levels via ECG without fingerpick test
Tracking sugar in the blood is crucial for both healthy individuals and diabetic patients. Current methods to measure glucose requires needles and repeated fingerpicks over the day. Fingerpicks can often be painful,…
MIT’s oxygen-tracking improves Bioartificial pancreas for Diabetes Patients
Many Diabetes Patients are required to take insulin injection daily. To avoid this painful step, researchers are exploring alternate ways. One such promising alternate way is, transplanting pancreatic islet cells into the…
