This was part of my Facebook feed today. While I don’t trust at least 60% of what I read on Facebook, I DO trust Joslin.

Unlike the first 60 years that I have dealt with diabetes, I now can see some promising research and hope for those of you who are young enough to partake in the trials and the “cures.”

The actual study is behind a paywall, but this website has some more info:

Part of the study was done in mice, but that’s always the first step. It’s good that they explore all possible routes.
