If you have type 1, your body doesn't make enough insulin. Withtype 2 diabetes, your body can make insulin but can't use it well. The cells in your muscles, fat, and liver build up what's called insulin resistance. With type 1 diabetes, you need to use man-made insulin every day ...
We have recently documented an age-independent increase in overweight/obesity in the Pittsburgh Epidemiology of Diabetes Complications Study (EDC) of type 1 diabetes (T1D). As intensified insulin therapy (IIT) may promote weight gain, the impact of weight gain in T1D is of importance. We ...
TUESDAY, June 25, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- An experimental stem cell therapy can essentially curetype 1 diabetesby restoring insulin production in some patients, early clinical trial results show. Seven out of 12 patients no longer needed daily insulin shots after receiving a ...
The major process that happens in type 1 diabetes is that the pancreas can no longer produce insulin. Type 2 diabetesis more a result ofinsulin resistance(cells not being able to use insulin effectively or at all), that is, it takes a large amount of insulin to move glucose out of the ...
In a recent interview with BioSpace, Imagine Pharma CEO Ngoc Thai shared the vast potential posed by a polypeptide called IMG-1 to treat Type 1 diabetes.
but they are two different diseases. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system kills the cells that make insulin. The body is left with no way to process sugar. The treatment is for people with Type 1 diabetes to give themselves shots of insulin to regula...
I still occasionally rant about diabetes on twitter at@thacherhussainbut mostly I’ve focused on doing whatever I want, trying to keep my diabetes in the background as much as possible. Currently managing my type 1 with a Tandem t:slim insulin pump using control-IQ, Dexcom G6, an excellen...
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that causes loss of pancreatic beta cells, which produce endogenous insulin. To replace that, patients must take exogenous insulin by shots or pump and are at risk of dangerous low blood sugar events. There is no current oral treatment for this di...
An experimental stem cell therapy can essentially cure type 1 diabetes by restoring insulin production in some patients, early clinical trial results show.
Science could be well on its way to a cure for type 1 diabetes, as researchers hone transplant therapies designed to restore patients' ability to produce their own insulin, experts say.
