A team of European scientists announces the creation of an electronic, wireless and implantable device under the skin that could be used to treat diabetes and obesity without medication. As explained by the researchers responsible for this work in an article published this Thursday in the journal 'Science', the first tests in mice performed with these implants have shown that their use allows to restore normal blood glucose values, favor weight …
The "diabesity", as obesity and type 2 diabetes is known to have become a global epidemic, could be on the verge of adding an ally that, for once, does not come from GLP-1 drugs but from electronics.A team of researchers from the Federal Polytechnic School of Zurich (ETH) has managed to develop a small implantable device that eliminates excess glucose in the blood by electric current, without resorting to the administration of drugs or insulin.T…
An implantable electronic device could become a non-pharmacological alternative to address obesity and type 2 diabetes, that is, diabetes.
This tiny implant could save diabetics from silent, deadly crashes
MIT engineers have developed a tiny implantable device that could revolutionize emergency treatment for people with Type 1 diabetes. The device contains a powdered form of glucagon and can be remotely triggered—either manually or automatically by a glucose monitor—to release the hormone when blood sugar drops too low. This offers a potentially life-saving safety net, especially during sleep or for young children.
