A Cure for Diabetes

 

The way to perfect blood sugar
Imagine a future where technology can safely take over the constant management of blood sugars. Surprisingly, you can eat, move and sleep without worrying about managing a roller coaster moving ups and downs. The risk of long-term complications vanishes.

The progress in treating type 1 diabetes are accelerating on double pace. Futuristic treatments, which were perpetually five to 10 years away, are now in advanced clinical trials and/or entering marketing.
