Electrical energy can be produced from blood sugar: Study
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
The researchers have combined the fuel cell with artificial beta cells developed by their group several years ago. These produced insulin at the touch of a button and effectively lower blood glucose levels much like their natural role models in the pancreas.

Study: Losing productive type of pancreatic cell contribute to development
Updated : 2 years, 12 months ago IST
In the pancreas, various types of beta cells produce insulin, which aids in blood sugar regulation. According to Weill Cornell Medicine researchers, losing a particularly productive type of beta cell may contribute to the development of diabetes.

Study discovers insulin deficiency associated with Type 1 diabetes leads t
Updated : 3 years ago IST
person with Type 1 diabetes has a smaller pancreas than someone without the disease. This is unexpected because insulin-producing beta cells make up a very minor portion of the pancreas and their loss in Type 1 diabetes would not be anticipated to result in a reduction in pancreas size.

Researchers find artificial pancreas useful for type 2 diabetes patients
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Researchers have tested an artificial pancreas for use by type 2 diabetes patients. The device, which was powered by an algorithm developed at the University of Cambridge, compared to standard treatment, patients spent twice as much time in the glucose target range and half as much time expe

Exercise reduces insulin production: Study
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Insulin is a hormone that is required by humans and many other living things. Its most well-known function is to control sugar metabolism. Much less is known about how insulin-producing cells, and thus insulin secretion, are controlled.

Insufficient insulin processing leads to being overweight: Research
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Being overweight increases the risk of an imbalance in sugar metabolism and even of diabetes. A research group at the University of Basel has now shown the opposite is true as well: deficits in the body's insulin production contribute to being overweight.
