Are we approaching a definitive cure for diabetes?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A team of US researchers has discovered a new drug called Harmine, which would be the "revolutionary" treatment that could end diabetes.

The findings, according to researchers at the Ican Medical College Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan, NY, indicate that the drug can cause insular cell proliferation, which could potentially help treat the condition. diabetes.

As is known, people with diabetes lack beta cells in the pancreas responsible for secretion of insulin and, without secreted insulin, they are not able to properly treat glucose, according to Arab Net.

The researchers found that the drug "Harmine" could stimulate pancreatic cells to produce ten times more insulin than the beta cells produced each day.

They added that, even more often, when Harmine was combined with another drug – commonly used to promote bone growth – insulin increased daily 40 times that of beta cells.

The British Daily Mail reported that the treatment was still in the early stages of the test, but researchers believe that its significant effect on insulin secretion could cause a revolution and a major advance in the treatment of type I diabetes and II.

The researchers also warned of the risk of leaving diabetes untreated, as it could lead to some serious health consequences, including kidney damage, eye damage, heart disease, stroke and possibly access to reduce blindness.
