Cats can and do cure themselves of diabetes.

“beta catenin”
==
Is that the one that’s in carrots or does it just sound similar?

[Mr Apple]

The findings, published today in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, show for the first time that a protein known as beta catenin is crucial for controlling the release of insulin from the pancreas to maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Excellent, excellent news!

I’m always dumbfounded at the beauty of these renderings of organic molecules.

“In type 2 diabetes, either the body doesn’t produce enough insulin or the cells in the body don’t recognise the insulin that is present, leading to high levels of glucose in the blood. “

Stopped reading right here. In type 1, the pancreas does not manufacture enough or any insulin to regulate blood sugar. In type 2, the insulin receptors in blood cells cease to function.

If they have a fix for type 1 GREAT!
If they have a fix for type 2 GREAT!

“fix” should really be ‘cure’...and that will never happen until there is movement away from healthcare and back toward medicine.

The words cure, prognosis have left the lexicon...

So if a person is 40 years old today and finds out that he has Type 2 . . . what are the chances that he will be able to take the medicine for the cure by the time he is in his 60’s?
