What is Best type 2 diabetes mellitus with hyperglycemia Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by using insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency. It is one of the maximum prevalent non-communicable illnesses globally, posing substantial public health challenges. Understanding the complexities of T2DM, particularly within the context of hyperglycemia, is important for powerful … Read more

"People living with diabetes might have a new hope. Scientists have tested a new drug therapy in diabetic mice, and found that it boosted insulin-producing cells by 700% over three months, effectively reversing their disease.

Beta cells in the pancreas have the important job of producing insulin in response to blood sugar levels, but a hallmark of diabetes is that these cells are either destroyed or can’t produce enough insulin. The most common treatment is regular injections of insulin to manage blood sugar levels.

But a recent avenue of research has involved restoring the function of these beta cells. In some cases that’s started with stem cells being coaxed into new beta cells, which are then transplanted into patients with diabetes. Researchers behind this kind of work have described it as a “functional diabetes cure.”

Now, scientists at Mount Sinai and City of Hope have demonstrated a new breakthrough. Previous studies have mostly involved growing new beta cells in a lab dish, then transplanting them into mice or a small device in humans. But this new study has been able to grow the insulin-producing cells right there in the body, in a matter of months.

The therapy involved a combination of two drugs: one is harmine, a natural molecule found in certain plants, which works to inhibit an enzyme called DYRK1A found in beta cells. The second is a GLP1 receptor agonist. The latter is a class of diabetes drug that includes Ozempic, which is gaining attention lately for its side effect of weight loss.

The researchers tested the therapy in mouse models of type 1 and 2 diabetes. First they implanted a small amount of human beta cells into the mice, then treated them with harmine and GLP1 receptor agonists. Sure enough, the beta cells increased in number by 700% within three months of the treatment. The signs of the disease quickly reversed, and stayed that way even a month after stopping the treatment.

“This is the first time scientists have developed a drug treatment that is proven to increase adult human beta cell numbers in vivo,” said Dr. Adolfo Garcia-Ocaña, corresponding author of the study. “This research brings hope for the use of future regenerative therapies to potentially treat the hundreds of millions of people with diabetes.”

The results are intriguing, but of course being an animal study means there’s still much more work to be done before it could find clinical use. So far, harmine alone has recently undergone a phase 1 clinical trial in humans to test its safety and tolerability, while other DYRK1A inhibitors are planned for trials in humans next year.

Perhaps most importantly, the team will soon experiment with combining beta-cell-regenerating drugs with others that modulate the immune system. Ideally this should help overcome a major hurdle: the immune system will continue attacking new beta cells as they’re produced.

The research was published in the journal Science Translational Medicine."

Now that it's Disability Pride Month, anyone who makes obnoxious diabetes jokes along the lines of "diabetes in a cup" or similar jokes personally owes me at least $10 okay thank you much love ^_^

Same goes for the people who immediately tell me about how much they would hate their life if they had to inject themselves with needles everyday like I do after I tell them I'm diabetic, your comment is not helpful or insightful! :3

Oh and people who ask me for the in depth medical definition on type 1 diabetes owe AT LEAST $30, I'm not your personal medical dictionary

JUST BECAUSE OZEMPIC CAN CAUSE WEIGHT LOSS DOES NOT MEAN IT IS A WEIGHT LOSS MEDICATION. PLS STOP USING IT IF YOU ARE NOT DIAGNOSED TYPE 2 DIABETIC 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

fatphobia under the guise of "concern" for one's health is still shitty, regardless of "good" intentions.

Gravitas | Medical marvel: China's new cure for diabetes China has achieved a significant medical milestone. They have successfully cured a [Type 2] diabetes patient using a pioneering cell therapy. After only three months of treatment, the patient was no longer dependent on insulin injections.

The insulin news is a great way to check to see how many people look for more information and how many people just say things online

(The patient treated was Type 1, however it was a singular patient so it needs much more testing and peer review before it can be considered a cure, and I have no idea if the treatment required use of immunosuppressants, basically it’s ‘promising’)

People really shouldn’t get their medical news from headlines; lest anyone forgot, that’s how we got anti-vaxxers

I forgot about the rammies bro. the quencies. of my actions (have been bad at taking my meds daily, health got worse)

So I got a new primary and she convinced me to try an injectable instead of pills for my type 2 (got diagnosed a few months back).

I'm absolutely terrified of needles. I have issues swallowing pills but still preferred it to getting a shot....so I thought. She filled it for a month, just to test it out. I was in her office, comparing the needles. 😂 She wanted to do Mounjaro but my insurance said no, so she did Ozempic. Super expensive, even with my insurance but I found this savings card that took an additional 75% off.

I had it for a few days before I bit the bullet. I was scared but I did it! And of course, it didn't hurt while taking the shot. It didn't hurt till after I pulled it out and ran my hand over the area cause I couldn't tell if I did it or not. It's been a day and I see/feel no adverse effects and that spot doesn't hurt. I'm relieved because if I couldn't do it, I was going to a whole other state to have my mama or sister do it 😂 (I live in KS, they live in MO, literally 30-40 mins away).

Once a week injection vs a daily pill. I still have like 4 other meds in pill form to take but that's one less to possibly heave up.

Know what’s much more effective without the harmful and potentially life-threatening side effects? A healthy diet high in disease-fighting properties, fiber, fruits and vegetables, and low in sugar, unhealthy fats, and processed foods. Big pharma will never be able to match what proper nutrition can do.

Apparently I’ve been pre diabetic for the past 2/3 years and my last gp surgery just didnt tell me…

When actually that would explain some of the symptoms I’ve been having that both they and my new gp’s have been passing off as “just your fibro”
