The main focus of this site is the mystery of the pancreatic beta cell in diabetes. Beta cells, located in the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, are the main insulin-producing cells. Without beta cells, the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar. The body is then dependent on an external source of insulin, hence the name Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM)Type 1. This site will further research and explore the role of beta cells in IDDM.

Another Way to Treat Diabetes
I have just taken a look at another way to treat diabetes. It is known as a A1C test, which gives a much longer term look at blood sugar levels. Click here to see the video, which will explain in detail the A1C tests well as give a diabetes-diagnosed patient who uses this test.
