Bionic Pancreas Critical Hurdle! Beta Bionics recently won $12 million in supplemental funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to conduct a major multicenter, national clinical trials for the iLet™ (bionic pancreas). Developed by Edward Damiano (Beta Bionics) and Firas El-Khatib. They hope to have the device approved for market in about a year….
Professor of medicine at Columbia University Domenico Accili says he can coax endocrine cells in the gut into insulin-producing cells to reverse diabetes. If the cells in the gut reverse diabetes, it would be a game-changer for the chronic disease. Accili found in the gut, proteins called FOXO which plays a dramatic role in the cells that…
DRI Successfully Transplants BioHub. Diabetes Research Institute has successfully transplanted their bioengineered mini-organ called the DRI BioHub into the omentum of the first patient (Wendy Peacock). A very close friend of mine contacted me with this exciting news. Her very young daughter lives with type 1 diabetes and is using pump therapy so this could possibly…
Many folks find it tough to grasp how their body regulates blood sugar. Alpha and beta cells, which are within clusters called “Islets of Langerhans” and are located in the pancreas, are key to this process. This piece will break down what these important endocrine cells do and how they affect your well-being, especially in…
Insulin glargine is a long-acting diabetes medication that functions similarly to human insulin. Because it is long-acting, it functions as a basal insulin dose for the treatment of diabetes types I and II. When used correctly, it can be incredibly effective in controlling glucose levels. Furthermore, it prevents the development of serious or life-threatening complications of…
