Reverse Diabetes?

I just stumbled on this New Atlas article about research that promises to change diabetes forever:

‘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.’

‘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.’

From mice to humans is a big step, but it’s a step that may change the lives of diabetics in the not too distant future. Fingers crossed.
