I’m type 1 but it is always interesting to read about new diabetes treatment.
WASHINGTON (AP) – People with Type 2 diabetes may soon get a very different treatment approach: A drug that helps control blood sugar via the brain - an idea sparked, surprisingly, by the metabolism of migrating birds.
The Food and Drug Administration approved Cycloset, maker VeroScience Inc. announced Wednesday. It’s a new version of an old drug called bromocriptine, used in higher doses to treat Parkinson’s disease and a few other conditions. But unlike its older parent, Cycloset is formulated to require a low, quick-acting dose taken just in the morning - no other time of day.
