Fighting Diabetes, Proactively!

In another breakthrough, Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine found a vaccine that reversed Type-1 Diabetes in Mice. Though, it doesn’t imply that it will work on Human, this certainly is a very optimistic development. Clinical Trials on Humans will begin soon says the report.

An experimental vaccine has prevented and reversed type 1 diabetes in laboratory animals, researchers at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh reported Wednesday.

The vaccine has not been tested in humans, but researchers hope to begin clinical trials late next year. [source]

By using a chemical analysis method developed for air-pollution testing, UC Irvine chemists and pediatricians have found that children with type-1 diabetes exhale significantly higher concentrations of methyl nitrates when they are hyperglycemic.

The study heralds the potential of a breath device that can warn diabetics of high blood sugar levels and of the need for insulin. Currently, diabetics monitor blood sugar levels using devices that break the skin to attain a small blood sample. Hyperglycemia is common in type-1 diabetes mellitus.[via]

Eating a diet rich in omega-3 fats may help keep high-risk children from developing type 1 diabetes, early research suggests.

Dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids was associated with a lower incidence of autoantibodies in the blood that signal the immune system to attack insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.

Omega-3 fatty acids are known to have anti-inflammatory properties, and inflammation is believed to play a major role in the development of type 1 diabetes through destruction of these insulin-producing cells.[Via WebMD]
