How far have the latest achievements in diabetes treatment gone today? How far away is a complete cure?

First of all, it needs to be clear that diabetes is a lifelong disease, and it is not unheard of to be able to get rid of medication after treatment, but the number is very, very small. So don't talk about a cure for diabetes, don't harbor illusions, and don't be smart enough to stop taking your medication!

The current research on diabetes still lies in the research of new types of drugs. Whether it is type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes, ultimately rely on insulin injections to control blood glucose, so the new insulin drugs are currently the research hotspot.

One type of insulin is a slow-release insulin, whose main effect is to reduce the number of injections, from once per meal to only once a day. This type of insulin is now available in large quantities.

Then there's changing the dosage form, changing injections to oral, which is more difficult; insulin is eaten directly into the gut, where it gets digested instead of direct insulin absorption into the bloodstream.

There are also developments in new injection devices in addition to the drugs themselves, such as miniaturized insulin syringe pumps that a person can wear on their body to measure blood glucose at any time and automatically inject insulin into the body, mimicking the body's blood glucose response and providing enough insulin to control blood glucose.

Then there are the newer bioreactors, which are microencapsulated organs that encapsulate pancreatic islet cells to prevent immune rejection, and are transplanted into the body to secrete insulin in a timely manner based on the body's blood sugar levels.

You see, there is no such thing as a complete cure for diabetes with all the research that is being done on the treatment of diabetes.

How far have the latest achievements in diabetes treatment gone today? How close is it to a complete cure?

Diabetes is a disease that seriously jeopardizes the health of all mankind. With the great improvement in our standard of living, the incidence of diabetes is increasing year by year and tends to be younger and younger, so today we are here to share our knowledge about diabetes.

1. What are the latest results in diabetes?

  • Oral insulin is already in clinical trials:In 2019 Hefei Tianmai Biotechnology Development Company and Israel Oramed Pharmaceuticals announced that oral insulin has been approved by the State Drug Administration of China and will soon enter the regional clinical trials; we all know how much pain injecting insulin brings to the majority of diabetic patients, and the progress of oral insulin has brought a great deal of gospel to the majority of diabetic patients;
  • A university in Toronto has successfully realized the transplantation of islet cells under the skin for the treatment of type I diabetes:Patients with type I diabetes have an absolute lack of insulin, and the body's ability to produce insulin can be restored by transplanting healthy islet cells, but it is difficult to place pancreatic β-cells in the right place, whereas the subcutaneous has a large space and is easy to maneuver, and safe for the patient;
  • Heavyweight immunotherapy holds promise for slowing progression of type I diabetes:A clinical trial found that when peptides were injected into patients with type I diabetes, the patients' immune system behavior changed significantly, and this immunotherapy is expected to protect pancreatic islet cells, which means that not as much insulin will need to be injected in the future in order to maintain blood sugar balance;

2. When will diabetes be cured?

At present, the specific pathogenesis of diabetes has not yet been fully understood by mankind, and a complete cure is not realistic in the short term; however, I believe that with the passage of time and technological advances, the quality of life of diabetic patients will be greatly improved; for the time being, diabetic patients should take their hypoglycemic medication on time, remove their bad habits, and should not be taken lightly.

Final Summary: Diabetes is difficult to cure in the short term, but oral insulin has now entered the regional trial stage, although it can not completely cure diabetes, but can greatly improve the quality of life of diabetic patients.

The above is my answer to the question, purely hand-typed, it is not easy, if you feel that the writing can be rewarded with a praise, if you have any questions you can leave a message below ......

Diabetes mellitus, the ancients called thirst certificate, the so-called certificate, not for the disease, that is, there is a complication of other diseases. Modern medicine will be evidence called disease. Primary and secondary are not divided into fear of wanting to cure indefinitely.

Thank you for the invitation to answer, nowadays type 2 diabetes can be cured in the folk, because I am not a doctor and not experts and scholars to promote this set of integrated approach is very difficult, the following I put their own experience with diabetes to take out and share with the sugar friends, the first check in 2011 fasting blood glucose value of 20.2, the urinary glucose of 3 ten at that time, the doctor Jianyi to be hospitalized, I did not accept the doctor's advice, through the Western medicine treatment for a few months, I was able to get the results. Fasting blood glucose down to below the standard value of Chinese medicine to reduce postprandial blood glucose, at the same time in the diet, exercise, weight loss and other aspects of conditioning, received the effect is still good, six months later, some small symptoms of complications see the effect of fast, seven years after stopping medication, fasting blood glucose value are all below the standard 6.1 never rebound, postprandial blood glucose value of 2014, 8.14, 15 years, 7.74, 16 years, 6.87, 17 years, 5.69, 18 years, postprandial blood glucose value of 8.14, 15 years, 7.74, 16 years, 6.87, 17 years 5.69, 18 years postprandial blood sugar 6.29, in seven years of conditioning this year, the body reached the best state, successfully passed three three-year-long blood sugar experiments, to find the road back and forth diabetic blood glucose, 2018 bold payoff test diabetic in the end can not run a marathon.18 years in May, Jiangxi Lotus County half marathon results 01:57:14, in October Changsha marathon results 03::42:32, in November, Changsha marathon results 03. 42:32, November Nanchang marathon results 03:45:40, November 18th city half marathon finish results 01:44:58, two full marathon easily finished, because I am not a doctor or expert scholars, in seven years of conditioning to find the feeling, used in their own body is very convenient and practical, full proof of diabetes pancreatic islet function can be fully restored with pure Chinese medicine conditioning! Undisputed fact, sugar friends type 2 diabetes can be completely cured in the middle, the biggest enemy of diabetes is yourself. Li Shaozhong, Jinggangshan City

Say one thing for sure: at least 10 years!!!!

Why? I'm a diabetic! I've had it for almost 10 years! I've taken all the mainstream medications! I've been on insulin for a few years! It goes up and down! Fortunately, due to my own experience in medicine, I am still very careful, my blood glucose is often measured, my diet is well controlled, and I take 15,000 steps a day on average! Blood lipids and blood pressure are also under good control! At the end of last year's blood test, only a little bit of high blood fat! Liver function an index is slightly high, call and ask classmates, answered tadalafil side effects is that way, there is no way! Tell me there is no new progress!

Diabetes as a chronic disease, the government gives subsidies to more than 10 million people I think! I'm 2 and give 3000 a year, people do the math if it can be cured, it has to save tens of billions a year!!!! How much would the world have to pay! Whoever comes up with this drug will be the world's number one! I'd buy one for 10,000 dollars! Who wouldn't? In the past 10 years, I haven't spent $100,000, but almost $80,000! But it's impossible! How many people are thinking about it, especially after decades, it's impossible to have a complete solution in 3-5 years! People who advocate a once-and-for-all solution are either liars or ignorant! 当然也不排除人家真的命好😇😇😇普通人我劝你还是遵医嘱吧! Don't dream!

Where does diabetes come from?

First, there is a lack of water, which makes up seventy-five percent of the human body.

Second, blood sugar levels? As blood accounts for twenty-five percent of the human body, the lack of water in the internal environment triggered by high blood sugar. Once the lack of water can be improved to change, blood sugar immediately return to normal.

Third, modern medicine only understands insulin hypoglycemic drugs and fails to recognize the nature of the disease to cure diabetes.

Diabetics are looking forward to new advances in diabetes treatment drugs and methods as soon as possible, preferably with an immediate cure, the urgency of the mood is understandable, but it is always unrealistic.

The development of science is always a long process, scientists have been working hard, but there is still a long way to go before the results can be used in the clinic still need to be tested in clinical trials and the approval of various authorities. Not a result out can be quickly applied to the clinic, then and the so-called "health care products", there is no difference.

This also allows many of the so-called "root cause" of the drug can be mixed in, is that many diabetics are deceived, not only the loss of money, but also delayed the disease.

There are no major breakthroughs in the treatment of diabetes, and there is a mixed bag of information that makes it difficult for the eager diabetic population to know what is true and what is not.

So-called oral insulin, for example, is medication that is packaged to ensure that the medication works without injections, giving hope for a change in the belief that insulin injections are painful.

Stem cell transplants are less effective, pancreas transplants are moderately effective, but transplant donors are not easy to find, they are expensive, and in the later stages you have to take a lot of anti-rejection medication, which needs to be taken for a lifetime, and the one aspect of diabetes treatment that makes it intolerable for many is nothing more than lifelong medication.

What is the expected cure for diabetes? No dietary restrictions, no need for medications, blood sugar stays in the normal range. Complications will gradually disappear. It has to be like diseases like mumps and measles, where you get it once, get well, and it never comes back.

Countless studies have confirmed that there is no cure or eradication of diabetes at this time, but there are many good and scientific ways to keep blood sugar in a relatively stable range so that complications occur later or not at all. Nowadays, with the advancement of technology, anything is possible, therefore, diabetes hopefully has the possibility of being eradicated as well. Hopefully, that day will come when you don't have complications showing up. Otherwise, even if diabetes is eradicated, what is the point of eradicating it when the damage to the heart, brain, kidneys and eyes is evident?

Glucokinase activator MHS5552, developed by Prof. Zhu Dalong, Director of Endocrinology Department of Nanjing Gulou Hospital, and Hualing Pharmaceuticals, is now in Phase III clinic, which is claimed to repair the root cause of the disease, and is expected to become the first-line medication for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin during GUYO showed a measure-dependent decrease and a continuous decline indeed, with a good safety profile.

Chinese medicine has always been able to cure diabetes!

The cure for diabetes will take at least another 15-20 years, and that's if everything goes well, if you're unlucky then it's a long way off. The reason is very simple, even if from the time I started posting time a cure for diabetes was found through theoretical research into animal experiments to prove the effectiveness, and then a long safety experiments, during the period of time everything goes well are once through all need at least ten years or so, and if you need to repeat the test that will be at least plus three or five years.
