future directions of diabetes 2

Cards (4)

    • An increased understanding of risk factors contributing to type 2 diabetes to develop more effective prevention measures and create effective management and treatment strategies
    • An increased understanding of genetic risks using dna sequencing to identify and analyse the genes that increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes
    • Pancreas transplant to cure type 2 diabetes or possibly the development of an artificial pancreas
    • Possible islet cell transplant which may be less complex and less invasive option, however research would to include how to grow healthy cells outside the body and how to insert them into the pancreas
