UK researchers have shown that screening children for type 1 diabetes can detect the condition early, preventing emergencies and enabling access to treatments that delay the need for insulin. A major UK research programme has shown that screening children for type 1 diabetes (T1D) can detect the condition years before symptoms appear—dramatically reducing the risk of life-threatening emergencies at diagnosis and giving families time to prepare, plan, and access emerging treat

Researchers in the UK and Belgium have identified a previously unknown genetic cause of a rare form of diabetes that develops in newborn babies, offering new insight into how insulin-producing cells function in early life. The discovery was made by scientists at the University of Exeter , working alongside colleagues at Belgium’s Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) . Their research shows that mutations in a little-known gene, TMEM167A , can cause insulin-producing cells in th

For years, closed-loop technology has promised to ease the burden of type 1 diabetes. Now, a new development from CamDiab Ltd  suggests that promise may be moving closer to reality. Following approval from its notified body, CamDiab has announced progress towards what it describes as the world’s first commercially available fully closed-loop insulin delivery algorithm  — a system designed to operate without carbohydrate counting or pre-meal bolusing . For people living with t

The Trump administration has cancelled funding for a 30-year nationwide study on pre-diabetes and diabetes, researchers said. The...
