GlySure Develops Continuous Intravascular Glucose Monitor for Hospital Use

Managing blood glucose levels tightly helps improve morbidity and mortality rates among diabetics. That's particularly true for diabetics who have other major health problems. GlySure has developed an intravascular device that continuously monitors blood glucose levels. Until now, blood glucose management for these critically ill patients often required frequent manual monitoring by the hospital staff.

Mouse Study Shows Reversal New-Onset Type 1 Diabetes With Pyramid-Like DNA

Usually diagnosed in children, teens and young adults, type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks and destroys insulin-secreting β-cells in the pancreas. As a result, people with type 1 diabetes can't regulate their blood sugar levels and require insulin treatment for survival. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces have reversed new-onset type 1 diabetes in mice with pyramid-like DNA molecules called tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs).

The Unexpected Benefits of Healthy Fats in Type 2 Diabetes

With nearly 10% of the world's population affected, type 2 diabetes is a major public health issue. An excessively sedentary lifestyle and a too-caloric diet encourage the development of this metabolic disease by altering the functioning of pancreatic cells and making blood sugar regulation less effective. However, fat, which is often cited as the ideal culprit, could be rehabilitated.
