Researchers from University of California have succeeded in testing a drug which will eliminate diabetes completely, if successful this would be the first drug to reverse the type II diabetes completely.
Stephanie Stanford has said that the drug was tested on mice and daily doses were given to them through mouth and no side effects were observed. The drug restores the ability of human blood to control sugar level by itself which makes it different from other rugs.
Low molecular weight protein tyrosine phosphatase (LMPTP) is an enzyme which makes it difficult for the body to detect and control glucose level and this drug inhibits and eliminates this enzyme making the work easy for the body.
The drug was found safe for animals now the next step is clinical tests to know how human reacts with this drug. It is believed that the further process will take at least more than 1 years before the drug will be found safe for human consumption.
