Scientists have found an important treatment for diabetes, one of the diseases of our time. Accordingly, in experiments on animals, a new ultrasound treatment has emerged that lowers insulin levels for Type-2 Diabetes, ie diabetes.
Does insulin injection become a thing of the past after diabetes treatment with ultrasound?
Insulin, one of the drugs that changed the fate of humanity, is among the most ideal solutions for type-2 diabetes, or diabetes mellitus, which is very common all over the world today. Although there are some drugs that reduce the insulin level that rises in diabetes, insulin injection is still the most useful drug.
In this new research, in which many Universities in the USA participated, scientists used a special ultrasound in the treatment of diabetes. This new ultrasound technology, called peripheral focused ultrasound stimulation (pFUS), yielded successful results in the first phase.
According to this, experiments on animals have been carried out at the clinical stage for now. The new type of ultrasound was able to bring the insulin level of the subjects to normal, just like the insulin injection for the treatment of diabetes. The new medical technology will soon begin to be tested on humans. If it is successful in human trials, we may soon be faced with a new alternative treatment to insulin therapy.
Insulin injection prices, which have been increasing all over the world recently, have deadly consequences for diabetics. If ultrasound therapy for diabetes is successful, it is expected that the need for insulin therapy will also decrease.
A new detail that emerged in the studies carried out was a new hope for the treatment of diabetes. Accordingly, regressions in type-2 diabetes were also observed in animal subjects with treatment with ultrasound. In this sense, ultrasound therapy is on its way to becoming hope for type-2 diabetes patients.
The researchers published preliminary results and results in the March issue of Nature Biomedical Engineering. It is a matter of curiosity when the exciting work will be concluded.
What do you, our readers, think about this issue? Can a treatment other than insulin injection really be successful for the treatment of diabetes? You can comment or express your thoughts on the SDN Forum.
