We live in quite amazing sometimes. We have some amazing technology available - and some amazing stuff coming down the pike. Go look at some new technology that will soon be available for diabetics.
Nasal insulin sprays are currently being tested by two different drug companies (Bentley and Nastech). The early data from both drug companies show that insulin is absorbed more rapidly when inhaled rather than injected. This could mean that managing blood sugar will be faster and easier in the near future.
Tired of pricking your finger and squeeze a drop of blood every time you want to check your blood sugar? Researchers at the University of California, Irvine working on a breath test that can check their blood sugar levels. The experimental test measures levels of methyl nitrate in the breath - these levels are much higher when blood sugar levels are high. With an easy test, diabetics could quickly and easily check blood sugar more often throughout the day. This would help them recognize patterns - when blood sugar club and when it falls.
Combine the speed, ease, and convenience of an alcohol test with an insulin nasal spray and the disease could be much more manageable. I know my grandmother is not a fan of the finger stick test, and struggles that test their blood sugar more often than not. I would love to see her be able to use a breath test to measure their blood sugar four times a day your doctor has requested.
And there may well be a cure for diabetes in our lives.
Researchers at the University of Washington School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri working on a way to cure diabetes in monkeys. They have successfully taken cells that make insulin in the pancreas of a pig and monkeys have been implanted in diabetics. The researchers are confident that this will cure diabetes in monkeys and human evaluations initial look the same procedure in the next few years.
