Researchers discovered that blocking a single protein prevented diabetic eye damage in mice before it could start. The finding could help protect vision in millions of people with diabetes before symptoms ever appear.
Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania have developed a way to deliver expensive diabetes drugs through genetically modified lettuce, potentially making life-changing medications affordable for millions. The breakthrough could transform how people access GLP-1 treatments that currently cost hundreds of dollars per month.
A University of Central Florida scientist just received nearly three-quarters of a million dollars to develop a treatment for diabetic neuropathy that doesn't rely on addictive painkillers. His fresh approach targets the root cause instead of just masking symptoms.
Researchers in Sweden discovered a protective molecule that could transform treatment for diabetic foot ulcers, wounds that heal slowly and often lead to amputation. The finding offers new hope for millions living with diabetes worldwide.
Indigenous African foods like jute mallow, caterpillars, and finger millet contain powerful anti-inflammatory compounds that could help manage type 2 diabetes. Researchers analyzed 46 studies and found these underutilized foods offer hope as nutritional therapy for the 830 million people living with diabetes worldwide.
Scientists at the University of Central Florida are developing a groundbreaking treatment for diabetic neuropathy that could help millions avoid relying on opioids and antidepressants. A $747,000 federal grant will fund research into regulating nerve signals instead of just masking pain.
Researchers in Hong Kong discovered that combining advanced imaging with a diabetes drug slashes heart death rates for high-risk patients. The breakthrough offers new hope for millions living with both diabetes and heart disease.
Stanford Medicine researchers reversed Type 1 diabetes in mice using a groundbreaking dual transplant that resets the immune system. The animals stayed diabetes-free for six months without insulin or immune suppressing drugs.
A cheap diabetes drug that's been around for 100 years is helping people with type 1 diabetes use significantly less insulin each day. Scientists are now racing to understand why it works so they can help even more patients.

New research shows that people with type 2 diabetes are often low in key nutrients, with vitamin D topping the list. The findings could help millions manage their health better through simple dietary changes.
Scientists in India have developed a tiny sensor that detects diabetes through a single breath, no painful blood tests needed. The device runs without batteries and could make testing accessible to millions in rural areas.
A groundbreaking Harvard study reveals that people with type 2 diabetes who combine GLP-1 medications with healthy habits slash their heart attack and stroke risk by nearly half. The research shows modern medicine works best when paired with old-fashioned healthy living.
Researchers in Japan have developed an insulin pill that could replace daily injections for millions with diabetes. Early tests in mice showed the oral medication significantly lowered blood sugar with just one dose per day.
Chinese researchers found the sweet spot for preventing diabetes might be getting just over seven hours of sleep each night. The 14-year study of 25,000 people reveals consistent sleep matters more than catching up on weekends.
Eli Lilly's new obesity medication helped people with diabetes achieve significant weight loss and better blood sugar control, a notoriously difficult combination to achieve. While researchers are monitoring some cardiac events, the drug represents a major step forward for millions struggling with both conditions.
Scientists discovered that a common diabetes medication protects aging kidneys by keeping blood vessels healthy and reducing inflammation. The breakthrough came from studying tiny fish that age in just months, letting researchers witness decades of organ aging in weeks.
Researchers at CU Anschutz discovered what triggers the autoimmune attack in type 1 diabetes and are now developing ways to stop it. The breakthrough could lead to therapies that delay or prevent the disease affecting 9.5 million people worldwide.
Researchers discovered a cellular clue that could help doctors spot type 1 diabetes before it fully develops. The breakthrough offers hope for catching and potentially stopping the disease earlier than ever before.
A century after discovering insulin, Canada is pushing for federal funding to build a national research network that could accelerate curative therapies for type 1 diabetes and create hundreds of high-skilled jobs. The investment could move breakthrough treatments from lab to patients years sooner.
Scientists discover traditional African foods like caterpillars, jute mallow, and finger millet contain powerful compounds that reduce inflammation and help manage diabetes. These underutilized indigenous foods could transform treatment for 830 million people worldwide living with diabetes.
