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.
Scientists discovered why people living at high altitudes have lower diabetes rates. Red blood cells in low-oxygen environments consume more glucose to help oxygen reach tissues.
Scientists discovered that eating more fat, not less, could help people with high blood sugar get the full benefits of exercise. The research challenges traditional health advice and offers new hope for millions managing diabetes.
A father who beat stage four cancer is attempting a Guinness World Record at the London Marathon to raise funds for diabetes research. Giles Cuthbert will run 26.2 miles wearing 107 layers of T-shirts to honor his two sons who live with Type 1 Diabetes.
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.
A dad who beat stage four cancer is attempting a Guinness World Record at the London Marathon by running in 107 T-shirts to fund diabetes research for his two sons. The challenge marks 10 years cancer-free and his 60th birthday.
Mayo Clinic researchers discovered a promising treatment that targets harmful "zombie cells" in diabetic kidneys, potentially helping over 12 million Americans. The short-term therapy improved kidney function and reduced inflammation in groundbreaking studies.
Scientists created a breakthrough mRNA treatment that shields insulin-producing cells from immune attacks, potentially preventing type 1 diabetes before it starts. Early tests in mice show the nanoparticle therapy successfully reached target cells and delayed disease progression.
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.
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.
Scientists discovered why mountain living reduces diabetes risk: red blood cells act like sugar sponges in low-oxygen environments. The breakthrough could lead to new treatments for millions managing blood sugar.
A common diabetes medication may protect aging eyes from one of the leading causes of blindness. People over 55 taking metformin were significantly less likely to develop macular degeneration over five years.
Researchers discovered that a common bacterium doesn't just resist antibiotics—it actively stops wounds from healing by releasing damaging molecules. A simple antioxidant treatment could help millions with chronic wounds heal again.
