New advancements in the treatment of Type1 Diabetes
Started Oct. 28, 2022
Abstract or project description
Karim is learning about new and ongoing advancements in the treatment of type1 Diabetes. He hopes to put together an article that details the state of current research in diabetes. This will compare traditional treatments for the symptoms of diabetes to new medications and potentially surgeries that are aimed at helping these patients. This new treatment of type 1 diabetes ( when put into mass usage) will completly revolution the type 1 diabetes treatment. This new treatment is called islet cell transplantation and has previously been used on people. They involve putting islet cells into the liver instead of transplanting the entire pancreas.
