A Type 1 Diabetes Lifestyle Website
On January 23, 2020, I attended a seminar for Nanotechnology and Materials-based Immunotherapeutic Approaches to Diabetes and Cancer (whoa! Say that 10x fast!). I want to share what was discussed, as it is PROGRESS! Researchers are working with bioresponsive drug delivery systems. They’ve completed animal trials with favorable outcomes. In the works (diabetes […]
UCLA bioengineers and their colleagues have developed a smart insulin-delivery patch that could one day monitor and manage glucose levels in people with diabetes and deliver necessary insulin dosage. The adhesive patch, about the size of a quarter, is simple to manufacture and intended to work for 24 hours before needing to be replaced. A […]
When medical professionals think of insulin the first adverse effect that comes to their minds is hypoglycemia. Their possible thoughts may be, what if there was an agent or drug that could possibly prevent against these hypoglycemia episodes? Well, bioengineers at the University of California Los Angeles may have found an agent to prevent the […]
Bioengineers at the University of California, Los Angeles have developed a new type of insulin that could help prevent hypoglycemia in people who use the drug to manage diabetes. The treatment is being evaluated for potential clinical trials and, if successful, could change diabetes care for millions of people. Insulin is a hormone naturally produced […]
Over 371 million people are affected by diabetes worldwide. Diabetes is a chronic disease which is caused due to improper functioning of the pancreas which is responsible for the production of insulin hormone. Insulin allows glucose in our blood to enter the cells in our body to be used for energy. Diabetes occurs when our […]
We spoke with PKvitality leaders Minh Lê, General Manager, and Tom Bishop, CTO Medical. They shared their investor slide deck and we have included selected images in this article. CGM Reimagined The PKvitality team wants to disrupt the existing CGM market. Rather than making incremental improvements they have reimagined the CGM experience. Their goal is […]
