Scientists discover alternative to treatment

 

A study by Monash University, in Melbourne, Australia has raised hope for the cure of Type 2 diabetes which, hitherto deemed incurable, researchers have discovered a pathway to the regeneration of insulin in pancreatic cells.

 

In the study described as an unprecedented breakthrough in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes, researchers found that through food people living with the disease turned negative over time.

 

The study led by diabetes experts, Professor Sam El-Osta, Dr. Keith Al-Hasani, and Dr.IshantKhurana, from the Monash Department of Diabetes, may lead to a potential treatment option for insulin-dependent diabetes which is diagnosed in seven Australian children every day resulting in a lifetime testing of blood glucose and daily insulin injections, to replace the insulin no longer produced by a damaged pancreas.

According to the study, people living with Type 2 diabetes were eating a special soup over the time covered in the research during which they were tested and found negative for the ailment.

 

The study also observed that the soup is very rich in glucoraphanin, a naturally-occurring chemical that is found in certain vegetables with a great deal of potential health benefits, especially in the area of controlling the amount of sugar in the bloodstream and tissues.

                                                                                                                     

The breakthrough was recorded as the number of global cases of diabetes approaches 500 million.

The study also found that the soup helped patients’ pancreas cells to effectively reactivate and become insulin-expressing and functionally resemble beta-like cells.

Speaking on their discovery, El-Osta said “We consider the research novel and an important step forward towards developing new therapies. By the time an individual is diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, much of their pancreatic beta cells which produce insulin have been totally destroyed. These studies show the "diabetic pancreas is not incapable of expressing insulin" and the proof-of-concept experiments "address unmet medical needs in type 1 diabetes."
