I många länder är det framför allt inom forskningsprojekt som deltagare screenas för typ 1-diabetes. Sedan många år går det att med blodprov screena barn som har ett förstadium till typ 1-diabetes. Screening görs i forskningsprojekt men inte i vården. Priset för att identifiera ett barn i riskzonen är knappt 100 000 kronor. Är det värt det? I tyska Bavaria erbjuds alla barn mellan 21 månader och s

Insulinceller från patienter med typ 1-diabetes kan återfå förmågan att producera insulin i laboratorium. Förmågan förbättrades dessutom ytterligare redan några dagar utanför kroppen, visar en studie med forskare från Norge och Sverige. - Våra fynd kan betyda att insulinproduktionen delvis kan återupptas ifall vi kan hitta ett sätt att stoppa sjukdomsutvecklingen, säger Lars Krogvold, doktorand  v
