First Artificial Pancreas OKd by FDA

Medtronic Inc. (MDT) the world’s largest maker of heart-maker devices, won U.S. regulatory approval for the first artificial pancreas system that automatically stops insulin delivery to diabetics when glucose levels reach a certain point.  http://www.pradika.com/story.php?title=kyle-leon-scam
 
The MiniMed 530G with Enlite was approved for use by people with diabetes who are at least 16 years old, the Minneapolis-based company said in a statement today.  http://luislauro.us/story.php?title=kyle-leon-scam
 
The device’s improved accuracy and ability to shut itself off for two hours builds on existing machines, which sound an alarm when glucose levels get to a preset level.

No More Insulin Shots? Companies Race to Develop Diabetes Pill

An insulin pill, long desired by diabetes doctors and patients but abandoned as not physically viable, could be available by the end of this decade as a tiny Israeli company races a Danish pharmaceutical giant to be first with what could be a multibillion-dollar product. http://www.dmgkd.com/story.php?title=truth-about-cellulite-2

In the pharma industry's equivalent of a David and Goliath story, the companies at the forefront are Novo Nordisk, the world's largest seller of insulin products with a market value of about $74 billion, and Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc, with a market value of only $50 million and headquartered in Jerusalem, where the biblical David held court.

The concept of oral insulin as a way to relieve people with type 1 diabetes of several daily injections has been around since the 1930s. It was left for dead because as a protein composed of amino acids, insulin is destroyed by enzymes in the digestive system before it can do any good.

While skepticism over a viable insulin pill remains high, Novo and Oramed believe they have come up with solutions that will allow enough insulin to survive the onslaught of digestive juices.

"We've built technologies and we've seen from studies in animals and early human trials that this may not be as impossible as decades of research had indicated previously," said Peter Kurtzhals, Novo's head of diabetes research. http://blcfairport.com/search.php?search=http://health.proconview.com/

If all goes well, Novo believes its oral insulin could be available by the end of this decade or early next decade.

Oramed's program is ahead of Novo's. It has begun enrolling patients in Phase II, or midstage, clinical trials, while Novo has yet to begin Phase II testing.

The brains behind Oramed's oral insulin is the chief executive's mother, Miriam Kidron, who laid the groundwork with years of diabetes research at Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center. "She's the chief scientist. I just went for the ride to do the business side," said Oramed CEO Nadav Kidron.

"My mother said it could be commercial but Hadassah won't be able to fund it," Kidron recalled. "I took the IP from Hadassah and started Oramed. Since then, we've been moving it forward."

Regardless of who wins the race, Kidron said, "there must be an oral insulin. This is going to be a huge market." He sees the market potential to be at least $7 billion a year.

Novo said this week the global market for diabetes tablets could be worth more than $18 billion a year.

That is because the focus for oral insulin has shifted to the ballooning health crisis of type 2 diabetes, a progressive disease often caused by obesity. An estimated 90 to 95 percent of the more than 370 million people living with diabetes worldwide suffer from type 2, according to the International Diabetes Federation. It projects that could climb to 552 million by 2030.

GBI Research forecast the global market for type 2 diabetes treatments reaching nearly $40 billion by 2019.

"Even though there are other anti-diabetic agents and more coming in, ultimately all (type 2) patients with diabetes, if they live long enough, will need insulin," said Novo's Kurtzhals.

There is still a long way to go for Nova or Oramed to receive regulatory approval. The companies must prove the worth of their oral preparations with large clinical trials and demonstrate no heart problems or other major side effects.

Other than injections, no other insulin preparations have been shown to be satisfactorily safe and effective, doctors said. Past failures of alternative delivery systems include Pfizer Inc's abandonment in 2007 of its inhaled insulin product.

"I'm not going to hold my breath on this one," said Dr. Robert Ratner, chief science and medical officer for the American Diabetes Association (ADA).

"It would be an important contribution to the therapeutic armamentarium. But there are still great limitations in our ability to get the insulin absorbed and control how much insulin gets absorbed," Ratner said.

Other treatments being tried include nasal spray and a skin patch, which lack some of the potential advantages of an oral insulin.

A MORE NATURAL APPROACH

Insulin injections were introduced commercially as a life-saving treatment for diabetes in 1923 by Eli Lilly and Co. Novo has also sold insulin products for some 90 years.

While insulin is naturally produced in the pancreas and then goes to the liver, injected insulin circulates throughout the body before it gets there. The main attractiveness of an insulin pill, if it works, is that any absorbed insulin would go directly to the liver from the digestive tract.

"It is a much more natural physiological approach," said Dr. Joel Zonszein, director of the Clinical Diabetes Center at Montefiore Medical Center in New York.

Some doctors believe high levels of insulin circulating through the rest of the body may increase health risks.
 
Since the digestive system can break down insulin in a matter of seconds, both Novo and Oramed's approaches for their insulin pills involve protective coatings and molecular tweaks or added ingredients to help enough insulin be absorbed to provide effective glycemic control. That involves giving large enough doses of insulin so that some 90 percent can be destroyed without sacrificing efficacy.

Novo believes it has designed a more stable molecule than natural insulin that can slow the time of degradation to minutes. "And if you can do that, maybe it's sufficient time for absorption to take place," Kurtzhals said.

"Risk is still high for this type of project. But the chance of success has gone up quite dramatically in our own minds compared to what it was originally," he said.

Oramed has introduced a protease inhibitor and another tweak designed to protect and enhance absorption of its oral insulin.

Kidron sees oral insulin as an opportunity to save billions of dollars in healthcare costs by helping to delay the myriad complications associated with type 2 diabetes.

"If we give insulin earlier on, we're going to give the pancreas a rest," Kidron explained. "We could reduce the complications, such as blindness and amputations."

He likens earlier treatment with an insulin pill to Pfizer's Lipitor, which became the most profitable drug in history by preventing serious heart problems.

Dr. Jason Gaglia, a top researcher at Harvard Medical School's Joslin Diabetes Center, said an oral insulin could be used to better control overnight blood sugar.

"If you could give it in an oral pill that is just hitting the liver, it would be wonderful," he said. "If people take this pill at dinner time, they're not going to have this excess glucose production overnight and it will be really good for getting those morning blood sugars down."

INSULIN STIGMA

Persuading patients to take insulin earlier in their disease could take some work, however. Some doctors now see a stigma surrounding the need for insulin - rather than needles, which have become much smaller and less painful - as a possible impediment to its acceptance by those with type 2 diabetes.

Patients may see insulin as an indication they are sicker than they perceive themselves to be, or associate it with a relative who got insulin late in the disease only to see their health deteriorate, doctors said.

"We need to do some education to convince people that insulin is a therapy like any other and it's very effective," said Dr. Elizabeth Seaquist, a member of the Endocrine Society who is in line to become a future ADA president.

The riskiness of the project and the number of years it will take to come to fruition is likely a reason Oramed's market value remains relatively small. The shares are trading for just over $6 and the CEO is the largest shareholder.

The company, which is also developing oral versions of other injectable drugs, plans to take its insulin through Phase II testing and then find a partner with deep pockets to conduct large, expensive Phase III trials and market the drug.

Kidron see no shortage of potential partners among Japanese drugmakers, U.S. companies with diabetes sales forces, or even Novo Nordisk - a scenario in which Goliath could simply buy David's slingshot.

"Novo is in a different league from anyone else out there," Kidron says with admiration. "I look up to them."

10 Foods That Stop Diabetes

Diabetes is at epidemic proportions in America. According to the American Diabetes Association, 25.8 million Americans have diabetes, and 79 million have prediabetes, a stage in which blood sugar levels are high but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. "If diabetes were a communicable disease, it would be called a pandemic," Dr. Nuha El Sayed of the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston, told Newsmax Health. "It's definitely a crisis."  http://editednews.com/story.php?title=kyle-leon-scam
 The epidemic shows no signs of slowing. According to UnitedHealth, more than half of Americans will be diabetic or prediabetic by 2020. Diabetes brings a host of complications including heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, nerve damage, poor circulation, hearing loss, erectile dysfunction, periodontal disease, and diabetic retinopathy. Studies also show that diabetes increases the risk of Alzheimer's, and a recent study from the University of Washington in Seattle found that high blood sugar levels that fall far short of high enough to be diagnosed as being diabetes increased the risk for dementia.  

Diabetes is classified as either Type 1 or Type 2. With Type 1, the body fails to produce the insulin necessary to convert sugar and starches to energy, while Type 2 diabetics don't  properly use the insulin they produce.
A healthy diet is a proven key in the fight against diabetes, and studies have shown that some foods are particularly effective at lowering blood sugar. They include:  http://www.startupswiss.com/story.php?title=fat-loss-factor 
 
• Cinnamon. A study published in Diabetes Care found that one, three, or six grams of cinnamon daily (as little as a quarter of a teaspoon) lowered glucose levels by up to 29 percent. While the results of another study weren't as impressive, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial at Imperial College London found that two grams of cinnamon daily for 12 weeks lowered sugar levels about 8 percent. Sugar levels in the placebo group rose over the same period. This common spice contains a substance called MHCP which has been shown to renew the capacity of fat cells to respond to insulin and remove glucose. Experts recommend between a quarter of a teaspoon and a teaspoon daily. http://www.910group.com/story.php?title=customized-fat-loss
 • Vinegar. Vinegar is often touted as a folk remedy for many illnesses, usually in the form of apple cider vinegar. Researchers at Arizona State University East found that two tablespoons of vinegar before meals cut sugar levels in prediabetics by 50 percent, and by 25 percent in diabetics. In addition, a study published in the journal Diabetes Care found that drinking apple cider vinegar after eating a high-carb breakfast lowered blood sugar levels by 34 percent in patients with prediabetes, and by 19 percent in those who had Type 2 diabetes. "Vinegar appears to have effects similar to some of the most popular medications for diabetes," said Arizona State University researcher Carol Johnson.
• Pomegranates. Pomegranates have long been a popular fruit in the Middle East and India, and they are increasing in popularity in the United States. They have many health benefits running the gamut from arthritis prevention to protection against prostate cancer. Israeli researchers say it also has important benefits for diabetics, showing that drinking six ounces of the juice daily for three months lowered the risk for atherosclerosis, which causes 80 percent of deaths in diabetics. Surprisingly, the researchers found the sugars in the juice did not seem to affect blood sugar levels.
 
• Almonds. A study published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition found that a diet rich in almonds improved insulin sensitivity as well as lowered levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol. Other studies have found that 1.5 to 2 ounces of almonds daily for women and 2 to 3 ounces daily for men lowered risks of both diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
 
• Garlic. Long used as a traditional treatment in many cultures, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Human Nutrition Center says garlic can increase the level of insulin in the blood. Both animal and human studies conducted in Japan, India, and Saudi Arabia show that garlic regulates and lowers blood sugar. The Indian study found the allicin in garlic combines with the B vitamin thiamine and stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin.
Some experts recommend a clove of fresh garlic two or three times a day.
 
• Apples. A recent study from Harvard University found that eating two servings of whole fruits a week, particularly apples, blueberries, and grapes, reduced the risk of Type 2 diabetes by 23 percent. A Finnish study found that men who ate foods high in quercetin, such as apples, reduced their risk of diabetes by 20 percent. Other sources of quercetin include onions, tomatoes, berries, and green leafy vegetables.
 
• Green tea. Green tea helps regulate blood sugar, and the authors of a study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry wrote that "tea may be a simple, inexpensive means of preventing or retarding human diabetes." Some experts recommend two to three cups of green tea each day.
 
• Chocolate. According to Italian researchers, the flavonoids in dark chocolate help counteract insulin insensitivity, the condition that prevents Type 2 diabetics from using insulin effectively. Eating 100 grams of dark chocolate a day accelerated the body's metabolism of glucose.
 
• Whole-fat dairy products. A study in the Annals of Internal Medicine discovered that a fatty acid found in dairy products called trans-palmitoleic acid reduces the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Whole-fat products contain more of the fatty acid than low-fat versions, and people with the highest blood levels lowered their risk of diabetes by 62 percent compared to those with the lowest levels. Researchers suggested that three to five servings of whole-fat dairy products daily would probably produce sufficiently high levels of fatty acids.
 
• Pumpkin. Researchers from East China Normal University say they have discovered chemicals in pumpkins that successfully helped regenerate damaged pancreatic cells in rats. The compounds boosted the pancreatic cells, which are the producers of insulin, to a degree that they believe may eventually eliminate the need for insulin injections, or the amount of insulin needed will be drastically reduced. The pumpkin compound was tested on rats with Type 1 diabetes, but the researchers believe it may also help counter Type 2.
