Scientists of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA have discovered a new technique of treating Type-1 diabetes patients called ‘Smart Insulin’.
Human body loses capacity to produce Insulin in ‘Type-1 diabetes’. If a definite amount of Insulin is not injected timely in the patient’s body, then diabetes is increased to an extreme extent. For this, patients with Type-1 diabetes have to have their sugar level tested repeatedly and according to the results obtained, patients have to get Insulin via injection.
No alternate option could be found to give diabetes patients a healthy life which has been bothering physicians for a long time. Finally, after a long time, scientists were able to come up with a suitable solution of this problem by the discovery of this medicine.
Dr. Danny Chou, head of the research team of MIT said, ‘ Our target is to make life of diabetes patients easier and comfortable. This discovery is an important advancement in Insulin therapy’.
Karen Addiington, Director General of ‘Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’ main funding organization for this research, said in a discussion, ‘For type-1 diabetes patients, keeping their blood sugar level in control is a constant fight. Only ‘Smart Insulin’ can solve this problem.’
Type-1 diabetes patients can now be saved from the hassle of measuring sugar level a few times and they can also be free of the trouble of having to take insulin injection a couple of times per day by using ‘Smart Insulin’.
Even taking this insulin product once a day or once a week will be sufficient for patients. This product will function as a deposit in patients’ blood and will release insulin when required to adjust the sugar level in body.
A survey shows, that globally, 10% patients of diabetes are suffering from type-1 diabetes. Physicians are demanding that for them, ‘Smart’ Insulin will cause a revolutionary change in their life style.
This product was found to be effective when used on rats by scientists. However, they want to know about the efficacy of this product by studying in human subjects for a couple of years before finally prescribing it to patients with type-1 diabetes.
This ‘Smart Insulin’ is actually nothing but a chemically converted form of general insulin. In one end of this product, two molecules are present which attaches insulin with protein in blood.
While attached to protein, this deposit of Insulin is not released. However, if sugar level in blood of patient rises above normal range, then this deposit of insulin comes out of its attachment from protein and insulin is released automatically according to body requirement.
