Lifechanging Diabetes Project
 
A ‘life-changing’ diabetes project is launched
 

The development of “smart” insulin capsules could lead to insulin being released automatically in response to high blood sugar levels. Leading charity JDRF hopes the University of Birmingham’s ambitious new project results in a “life-changing treatment” that frees people with diabetes from daily insulin injections.

“For a long time I was morbidly obese and had been feeling tired with high blood pressure. I’d also been consuming too much sugar which culminated in my eventual diagnosis of metabolic syndrome and T2 diabetes. Since joining the Low Carb Program and cutting sugar and sweeteners I’ve lost more than 20kilos and both my HbA1c and average blood glucose levels have significantly improved. It’s also improved my mood, reduced my fatigue, and I no longer feel so hungry!”
