Scientists around the world are conducting diabetes research across a phenomenal variety of fields. This research includes trying to find a cure for diabetes, improving diabetes medication and diagnostics, and making the day to day life of people with diabetes easier to lead.DRI clinical trials are already dramatically improving the lives of some people with type 1 diabetes who are now living insulin free. Through the DRI BioHub strategy, the Institute's scientists are addressing the major research challenges that stand in the way of a biological cure.Researchers find new potential approach to type 2 diabetes treatment. The protein adipsin, which is produced in body fat, helps protect insulin-secreting cells called pancreatic beta cells from destruction in type 2 diabetes, according to a new study by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine andNewYork-Presbyterian.

There is no cure for diabetes, but it can go into remission. People can manage it with medication and lifestyle changes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that develops when the body destroys the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. This means that people with type 1 diabetes do not make insulin
