New drug for Type 1 diabetes 'developed'
Scientists have claimed to achieve a major breakthrough in the fight against Type 1 diabetes by developing a treatment which would save the sufferers from a lifetime of insulin injections.
An international team said in London that the new treatment, codenamed DiaPep277, will block the process which causes the body's immune system to attack the pancreas in people with Type 1 diabetes; and it'll hit the markets within three years.
The Sunday Express reported that the scientists hope that the drug will also allow the patient's body to carry on making its own insulin, eventually allowing their pancreas to recover and make enough to support the body completely.
