About Diabetes
With over 30 million Americans currently living with diabetes chances are you or someone you know has diabetes. Diabetes is a group of diseases that occurs when your body does not produce enough of the hormone insulin or your body does not respond to the hormone insulin as well as it should. Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death due to the increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. If you are overweight, older than 45 years of age, have a relative who has diabetes, do not exercise regularly, then you are at an increased risk of developing this disease. Despite being a preventable disease, within the last 20 years adults being diagnosed with diabetes has tripled. The type of diabetes and severity will determine what medications are necessary and if life style modifications can reduce the disease severity.

This post was originally published on this site The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted the fourth Orphan Drug Designation to Araim Pharmaceuticals’ ARA 290, an innate repair receptor (IRR) activator for increased survival and improved function of pancreatic islets after transplant in patients with Type 1 diabetes (T1B). “Obtaining this Orphan Drug Designation for ARA 290 is another…
Type 2 Diabetes May Result From Deficient Activity by Special Pancreatic Beta-cells
This post was originally published on this site Insulin released by pancreatic beta (β) cells regulates blood glucose levels. If the system fails, it may cause hyperglycemia inducing Type 2 diabetes. But recent research indicates that a specific subset of β cells work like pacemakers and orchestrate insulin release by the pancreas, according to U. K. researchers in…
