According to the World Health Organization (WHO), one in 11 people worldwide has diabetes. In Brazil alone, between 2006 and 2016, according to the Ministry of Health, the diagnosis of the disease has increased by 60%. Although access to diabetes treatment is becoming easier, there is still no cure for the disease.
However, science is increasingly close to the discovery of a cure for diabetes. American researchers have recently developed a badtail of drugs capable of inducing the regeneration of insulin-producing cells at a rate of 5 to 8% per day. "It was the first time that we could see a sufficient beta cell replication rate to treat the disease. The next important step was how to deliver these drugs directly to the pancreas, "says Andrew. F. Stewart, lead author of the study

Previously, the team of researchers had already identified a small molecule which could increase the beta cell proliferation rate by 1.5 to 3%.
The major divisions of diabetes, and the most common, are: type 1 and type 2. In type 1 diabetes, diabetes mellitus is the most common type of diabetes mellitus. The pancreas loses the ability to produce insulin due to a defective immune system, which causes our antibodies to attack the cells that produce this hormone. In type 2, there is a combination of two factors – the decrease in insulin secretion and a lack of action, called insulin resistance.

Although both types show differences, even in treatment, recent studies indicate that type 1 and type 2 diabetes share a relevant characteristic: a decrease in cell supply.
In this way, a new combination of drugs would treat both types. The results show that the combination of drugs acts on beta cells derived from human stem cells and in people with type 2 diabetes.
What is diabetes?
Diabetes is a multiple origin metabolic syndrome resulting in a lack of insulin and / or inability of insulin to properly perform its effects, resulting in an increase in glucose (sugar ) in the blood.
Diabetes occurs because the pancreas is not able to produce insulin hormone in sufficient quantity to provide it (insulin resistance).
Insulin promotes the reduction of blood sugar by allowing the sugar present in the blood to enter the cells, to be used as a source of energy. Therefore, if it is missing this hormone, or even if it does not work properly, there will be an increase in blood sugar and, consequently, diabetes.
