Scientists hail ‘smart’ insulin that responds to changing blood sugar levels in real time
Scientists hail ‘smart’ insulin that responds to changing blood sugar levels in real time
Exclusive: People with type 1 diabetes may in future only need to give themselves insulin once a week, say experts
The article specifies type 1 a lot, Why wouldn't it also help with type 2?
Just guessing
-
Type 2 oftenly needs way less insulin
-
Type 2 can oftenly be treated with other medicines (for example Metformin, to reduce the sugar production from your liver)
-
Type 2 can be "cured" sometimes by just losing weight
So it might help with Type 2. But easing the live of people with Type 1 is just the bigger goal.
-
Because type two doesn't have issues with insulin production, but insulin sensitivity. So the pancreas produces, but the body isn't responding as it should.
