Biochemists at Stanford University have developed a hydrogel treatment for diabetes which can treat patients for up to four months with just a single dose! This hydrogel is easier to manufacture, inject and eliminates the need for daily or weekly injections.
So far it's been successfully tested on rats and now it just needs to be tested in larger animals, including humans. With 38 million people in the United States with diabetes, and nearly 100 million with prediabetes, this could help a large part of our population live better lives!
