Diabetes drug promises cure possibility says Michigan doctors
A four year medical review from University of Michigan researchers suggests the drug tolbutamide, sold as Oninase, may not only control mild diabetes but also restore insulin producing beta cells in some patients. In a private conference, Dr Stefan Fajans and Jerome Conn reported that continued use improved carbohydrate tolerance and insulin release, with some beta cells returning to normal function. They plan larger trials to confirm whether the effect can be reproduced reliably.
