A person with diabetes cannot process sugar or glucose properly and glucose is the body’s main fuel. Insulin, a hormone produced in the pancreas, normally allows glucose into each and every cell of the body, but people with type-1 diabetes cannot produce insulin, while those with the type-2 form of the disease produce sub-standard insulin. Diabetes occurs when excess glucose stays in the blood instead of being taken up by the cells. Therefore, the innovative challenge is to balance insulin administration with glucose control and take account of changing insulin needs. For example, exercise requires glucose to fuel muscle. This can cause blood glucose levels to drop, leading to reductions in the need for insulin. Here are five innovations aiming to improve the lives of people with diabetes.
