Boston's Children's Hospital announced on Monday that the cause of Type 1 diabetes is fantastic news!
For those of you who aren't in the know, Type 1 diabetes can only be treated by doses of insulin, typically once a day. This disease commonly harms newborn infants and toddlers. Some long-term effects of diabetes includes " heart and kidney diseases, nerve problems, skin issues, and problems with vision, among others." As one ages these effects worsen, which are clearly seen with diabetics with *essentially* dead limbs or major cataracts.
On their blog, BCH announced that the root of Type 1 diabetes is a pathway to attacks the pancreas, halting all production of insulin. Now that they have the root, any and all cure research can be finely tuned. This is great news for medicinal science and humanity as a whole!
