If everything goes to plan, a representative of the company says, [...] (Source: Diabetes Mine) Diabetes Mine blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3476018 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 13:00:59 +0100 3476018 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2828413&cid=t_133314_134_f&fid=34841&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.diabetesmine.com%2F2009%2F09%2Fsneak-preview-epic-new-book-diabetes-rising.html Curious about what’s happening in the diabetes industry and research community?

In fact, the more I read about diabetes treatment these days, the more excited I become. A group of researchers took non-obese diabetic mice which had recently developed Type 1 diabetes, and injected them with an “anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody for five days, followed by transplantation of embryonic pancreatic tissue, and, for short-term glucose control, implantation of a subcutaneous insulin pellet.” Most of the mice maintained normal blood sugars after the removal of the insulin pellet. The transplanted cells were shown to migrate to the pancreas of the test subjects. Is this a cure for diabetes? Sorry - but no. Still, this is exciting research that tells more and more about how the body tolerates transplanted cells and tissue. Th...

Scientists have used a vaccine that provides protection against tuberculosis to cure a disease the “closely resembles” Type 1 diabetes in mice. According to the research: “In the animal studies, a commonly used vaccine that provides protection against tuberculosis, called Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG), was used effectively to deplete the abnormal immune cells that attack and destroy the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas.” They are recruiting people for the human trials...

It was hard enough getting it then. I can’t imagine getting it as a child. The shots, food restrictions, and constant monitoring is a difficult thing for children and their families. That’s why research and funding is needed until there is a cure. To that end, I have another great interview in the Putting a Face on Diabetes series. I’m always amazed at people that get involved. It doesn’t matter how they are involved, to me doing something is so much better than feeling helpless or complaining. To that end, I came across an online diabetes fundraiser a few years ago that was put on by Brenda Novak, an author whose son has diabetes. I was so impressed by her efforts (and wait until ...

There are numerous ways to get involved, whether it be with informing others about the disease, contacting lawmakers, or just spreading the word about the realities of living with this chronic illness. Here are some ways to get started as a diabetes activist. ~more Tags: ada, chronic illness, congress, contact legislatures, cure for diabetes, diabetes advocate, funding, get involve, inform people about diabetes, lawmakers, living with diabetes, spread the wordShare This (Source: Diabetes Notes) Diabetes Notes blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1975582 Thu, 20 Nov 2008 12:00:04 +0100 1975582 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1911360&cid=t_133314_134_f&fid=34841&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.diabetesmine.com%2F2008%2F10%2Fbrief-notes-healthy-skepticism.html My mom’s been complaining that my latest posts have been too long.
