Diabetes Vaccine

Over 120 million people suffer, and over 20 of them could benefit from the vaccine, "says its inventor Noel Maclaren, a scientist born in New Zealand studying the subject for over 30 years.

Diabetes, as is known, is a disease whose characteristic is the high concentration of sugar in the blood and can lead to damage to blood vessels, with a risk of blindness, gangrene and even coma. Usually, the disease was controlled with insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas, but when this body can not produce in sufficient quantities or not the factory, diabetes occurs.

For some 25 years, Maclaren found in the blood of anti-diabetic individuals: the weapons are targeted by the immune system against cells in the pancreas responsible for producing insulin. Since then we know that diabetes is an autoimmune disease (an attack against the body itself).

The vaccine is still under investigation, but scientists say that this vaccine is not for diabetics who are already insullnodependientes but for people who might develop the disease or who-knows-end to be compulsory for all people. Still we have to wait.
