"You're eyes look perfect, even better than last time! You're doing a great job managing your diabetes!," the opthamologist said.   As the tears welled up in my hugely dilated eyes, I embraced the big ol' lump in my throat and thanked the doctor for the good news and told him how important it is to hear that I'm doing something RIGHT... Read moreChevron

Will Betatrophin Cure Type 2 Diabetes?

What if our beta cells, the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, could be instructed to multiply so they could produce more insulin when we needed it?
