[/caption]Staff - The Mayo Clinic has announced it is working on a breakthrough development, an artificial pancreas to support insulin delivery.
This breakthrough is called the “closed loop system” and includes a blood sugar monitor, automatic insulin pump, and monitors to establish the level of activity, as well as a unit for processing information.
Additional research has established exercise to reduce blood sugar levels, which decrease faster in the morning than later in the day.
Type 2 diabetics do not produce sufficient insulin to support good health. The goal of treating diaetes is to lower blood sugar that builds up in the blood because the diabetic does not produce enough insulin to reduce sugars to a normal level.
This new breakthrough for diabetics can help millions of people not affected by diabetes, the fastest growing disease in the United States, with 1 in 3 now afflicted with it. This is particularly important as diabetes is responsible for the rise in kidney disease.
