Groundbreaking therapies combining stem cells and immune drugs are showing real promise in helping people with type 1 diabetes produce their own insulin again. One patient has already delayed disease progression for nearly a decade.
Scientists are testing breakthrough treatments that could eliminate type 1 diabetes symptoms within the next few years. Late-stage trials of beta cell replacement therapy are showing real promise for millions living with the disease.
Researchers have cured type 1 diabetes in mice using a breakthrough method that doesn't require lifelong immune-suppressing medications. The innovative technique creates a blended immune system that accepts transplanted insulin-producing cells naturally.
Adults with type 1 diabetes face constant mental strain that often goes untreated, but a new partnership is bringing free peer support events to Canadian cities for the first time. Vancouver, Toronto, and online gatherings will create spaces where people can connect and find community support.
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.
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.
Jazz Sethi was 13 when a sudden 7kg weight loss revealed Type 1 Diabetes. Now the Ahmedabad dancer runs Diabesties Foundation, connecting 60,000+ patients across India who once felt invisible.
University of Chicago scientists developed a breakthrough mRNA therapy that protects insulin-producing cells from immune attacks, potentially preventing type 1 diabetes before it starts. Early tests in animals show the treatment successfully shields the cells that the disease destroys.
Scientists created a breakthrough two-part treatment that restores insulin-producing cells and protects them from immune attacks, potentially freeing millions from daily insulin injections. The therapy combines lab-grown cells with engineered immune "bodyguard" cells.
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.
Researchers are developing a groundbreaking therapy that could free 1.5 million Americans from daily insulin injections by combining lab-grown insulin cells with immune system "bodyguards." The $1 million project aims to create a cure that works without harsh immunosuppressive drugs.
Scientists at the University of Chicago have developed a breakthrough nanoparticle system that delivers protective mRNA to insulin-producing cells, potentially preventing type 1 diabetes before it starts. The treatment worked in both mouse and human cells, offering hope for the 1.6 million Americans living with this autoimmune disease.
Scientists at the University of Chicago have developed tiny particles that teach insulin-producing cells to protect themselves from autoimmune attack. The breakthrough could delay or prevent type 1 diabetes without suppressing the entire immune system.
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.
Stephanie Atkinson became one of the first Miss Universe Canada finalists to openly wear an insulin pump and glucose monitor on stage. Her journey from a near-fatal misdiagnosis to fierce advocate is changing how we see Type 1 diabetes in adults.
Scientists at Stanford Medicine eliminated Type 1 diabetes in mice for six months without insulin shots or immune-suppressing drugs. The breakthrough uses an "immune system reset" that could transform treatment for millions living with autoimmune diseases.
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 groundbreaking FDA-approved treatment is helping Type 1 diabetes patients stop daily insulin injections by replacing their destroyed cells with healthy ones from donated organs. University Hospitals in Cleveland is now offering the therapy that freed 70% of trial participants from insulin after just one year.
A new study shows people with type 1 diabetes who switched to a low-fat vegan diet reduced their daily insulin use by nearly 30 percent in just 12 weeks. The breakthrough findings suggest a simple dietary change could help millions manage their condition more effectively.
People with type 1 diabetes slashed their daily insulin use by nearly a third simply by switching to a low-fat vegan diet. The breakthrough could save patients hundreds of dollars annually while improving their overall health.
