Researchers have created a synthetic patch without full of natural beta cells that can secrete insulin dose to control levels of blood sugar in demand pain.
The patch could provide relief to millions of people with type-1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes advanced they need to control insulin levels constantly.
While insulin injections provide imperfect substitutes painful and often transplants of normal beta cells carry the risk of rejection or side effects of immunosuppressive therapies.
Both patches are thin polymeric square about the size of a coin and covered with small needles, like a bed of nails miniature.
The evidence from this review of pain in animal models of type 1 diabetes have shown that could respond quickly to raise levels of blood sugar and decrease significantly during 10 hours at a time.
