Diabetes is a condition in which there is too much glucose in the blood. The pancreas either cannot make insulin or the insulin it does make is not enough and cannot work properly. Without insulin doing its job, glucose builds up in the blood leading to high blood glucose levels which cause the health problems linked to diabetes.
Fortunately, the field of medicine has officially presented the first-ever diabetes vaccine, assuring to be the solution for the disease progression and even reverse its effects.
An announcement made yesterday at the 75th Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association said that the FDA will test the vaccine on 150 people who are in an advanced stage of type one diabetes.
HOW DOES IT WORKS?
The body of a person with type 2 diabetes does not produce insulin due to the immune system destroying the cells that create insulin. T cells are produced, and these cells create problems in the pancreatic islets, where insulin is pro2uced. The vaccine works by eliminating these T cells.
Patients with diabetes injected with the vaccine saw an increase in the levels of a substance called tumor necrosis factor. The increased level of TNF in the system destroys the T cells that are hindering the production of insulin.
In a previous trial, patients were injected with the tuberculosis vaccine twice within a four-week time frame. The results showed that the dangerous T cells were gone, and some people even began to secrete insulin on their own.
Based on some researchers, this alternative treatment can be used both in children and adults, and that does not cause side effects. They also stated that although immunization is not the cure itself, there are notable development in patients that were given the sample.
The creator of this autohemotherapy, Dr. Jorge Gonzalez Ramirez said, “This vaccine is much more than a drug. It is a medical practice. We see it as an alternative, a possible solution to stop chronic degenerative complications: stroke, hearing loss; amputation, kidney failure and blindness, among many others.”
Along with this vaccine, patients should continue with their regular exercise and diet. It is also best to consult regularly with your doctor.
