MyDiabetesCentral.com Reacts to Diabetes Research

Canadian scientists say they have proof the body’s nervous system helps trigger diabetes. The research finds that defective nerve endings in mice attract immune system proteins that can mistakenly attack the pancreas. When the researchers injected a substance to counteract this effect, the mice were cured overnight.

Now our community at MyDiabetesCentral is reacting to this news, and you may be surprised at what they have to say.
