When I started writing the diabetes Diaries, we didn’t know whether I could keep it up every week. Ha! Check out these stories, from just one source. And there are plenty of others. Help for whatever ails you—causes, prevention, treatments, even cures. And treatments for diabetes turn out to help with many other dread diseases.

How about these, for starters? One for Type 1, and one for Type 2.
Drug Screen Points Toward Novel Diabetes TreatmentsUsing a patient's own stem cells to replace insulin-producing cells 'the horizon' for treating diabetes, says researcher.
The researchers suggest this safer and more reliable way to grow insulin-producing cells from a patient's own blood could eventually allow transplants without the need for anti-rejection drugs. Recipients of donated cells must take anti-rejection drugs for life, and the therapy is limited by the small number of donated organs available.
A drug currently in clinical trials as a cancer therapy can also stimulate pancreatic beta cells to secrete insulin, revealing a previously unknown mechanism for insulin regulation in type 2 diabetes, according to a new study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. The preclinical discovery, reported Nov. 9 in Nature Chemical Biology, provides a new chemical tool for probing the biology of diabetes, and could point the way toward better treatments for the disease.
I will have to go back and mine their earlier roundups.
