Artificial pancreas hope for diabetes sufferer

This is a good news. If you got diabetes, you know what I am talking about: diabetes is the most common and yet almost incurable desease. Once you got diabetes, you’ll keep it for the rest of your life. As mentioned, this finding is a step forward, not the final result. But it’s really a good step forward. I wish I could see in my lifetime that the diabetes can be cured totally.

Scientists in Cambridge have shown that an “artificial pancreas” can be used to regulate blood sugar in children with Type 1 diabetes.

A trial found that combining a “real time” sensor measuring glucose levels with a pump that delivers insulin can boost overnight blood sugar control.

The Lancet study showed the device significantly cut the risk of blood sugar levels dropping dangerously low.

Experts said the results were an important “step forward”.

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic, life threatening condition, in which the pancreas does not produce insulin – the hormone that regulates blood sugar levels.

    Diabetes may be cured but many obstacles faced. Diabetes therapy did paramedics generally only intended to keep blood sugar levels are in normal condition. I hope it brings a breakthrough step in a positive outcome for people with diabetes.

  10. Diabetes, Will only occur if the body consumes far too much carbohydrates and high sugar foods, that the Insulin becomes immune to the glucose or sugar meaning it wont work and convert the glucose into energy this happens when for long periods of time high sugar foods are consumed and not a short term issue.
