Cutting Edge Research on Treatment of Type I Diabetes

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is a condition where multiple genes play a role. It is characterized by chronic autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells, which produces insulin. Type 1 diabetes is common in children and is more prevalent in India than in many other Asian countries. Treating type 1 diabetes often involves management of sugar levels of the bloodstream. Insulin therapy involving glucose monitors, subcutaneous injections, insulin pumps, etc. plays a pivotal role in the treatment of T1D. Transplantation of pancreatic islets as well as xenotransplantation are emerging mechanisms being employed but have major drawbacks. Ayurvedic therapies help alleviate symptoms and traits in order to boost the body’s immunity to fight the disease. Prevention and following basic lifestyle modifications can help provide resistance from diabetes. This review provides an overview of current and emerging approaches that aim to address these goals, offering new insights into the treatment and management of type 1 diabetes.
