Cure for diabetes soon (?) [View All]

(I added the "?" because the vaccine has to be tested yet, so saying "soon" is stretching it a bit, imo)

Cure for diabetes soon

British researchers in collaboration with the Diabetes Vaccine Development Center in Melbourne will test a vaccine early next year on the patients that could wipe out type I diabetes, the most serious kind of diabetes. It works on by stopping the destruction of the cells.

The vaccine will be tested on 72 diabetic patients at King's College London and Bristol University in England.

What causes type I diabetes still may be unknown but it makes the body's defense system mounts an abnormal attack on its pancreas, destroying the body's ability to produce insulin.

Dr. Colin Dayan from Bristol University says, "it'll be of help for those people who have just been diagnosed, it might stop their insulin making cells deteriorating further".
