Type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune disorder. It means that, cells which are responsible for the protection of our body, turn hostile. Insulin is a hormone which brings down the sugar levels in our body. It is produced by the beta cells of pancreas. But in a Type 1 diabetic patient’s body, the natural killer cells called the T cells mistake the beta cells as foreign threats and kill them.
Researchers from the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada have developed a vaccine based on nanotechnology which cured Type 1 diabetes in experimental mice and delayed the onset of disease too. The results of the findings are published in the online edition of the scientific journal Immunity. This article tries to gain further insight on this topic.
What the Nanotechnology Vaccine Therapy Does?
The researchers wanted to develop an “antigen-specific” immunotherapy. It means this therapy directly addresses the issue of auto-immune disorder without causing harm to the immune cells which protect our body from external threat. Aggressive T-cells try to cause this disease and weak T-cells inhibit these cells from doing so.
The researchers developed a unique vaccine made up of extremely small particles called the nanoparticles. These particles were coated with small molecules of proteins technically called the Peptides. The peptides binded with the weak T cells with the help of MHC molecules. These peptide-specific weak T-cells did not allow the availability of the protein peptide to any of the aggressive T cells.
As the number of these peptide specific weak T cells increased, they successfully suppressed the attack of the aggressive T cells, which destroy the beta cells, causing Type 1 Diabetes. During the process, the vaccine did not pose any threat to the rest of the immune system. The research was found to successful when tried on humanized models of diabetic mouse too.
Significance of the Research: Nearly 3 million Americans are estimated to have type 1 diabetes. Every year 15,000 fresh cases of this disease is reported. Mostly children and young people below the age of 20 years are affected by this disease. Once diagnosed with this disease, the treatment involves daily manual intake insulin 2-3 times a day.
There are some unavoidable lifestyle changes also made in their lives. Reports of vaccines which can completely cure this disease definitely raises hope in the minds of health care professionals and common public.

Is this a vaccine. that means it is of no use for people who alread y have type 1 diabetes for 10 -15 years? probably it would help the children of type 1 adults in not getting type 1 diabetes?
diabetes is a serious disease but it can be avoided by having an physically active lifestyle`’;
anna
do some research so that u can get ur facts right. such talks annoy many diabetics, including me.
diabetes is of course a nasty disease and it could be avoided by just having good exercise ::
Type 1 diabetes is not from being overweight. My son was 12 yrs old and weighed 102 lbs. when diagnosed. It’s an auto immune system. Has NOTHING to do with weight.
HI,
THIS IS MY ADVICE TO MRS AUDRA. PLS CONSULT MR SB IN INDIA, WHO IS NOT AN DOCTOR BUT CAN HELP YOU WITH PROPER HOME REMEDIES FOR YOUR SON.HE HAS HELPED MANY KIDS IN CONTROLLING SUGAR LEVEL.
I PERSONALLY VISITED HIM AND SEEN HIM WORKING ON DIABETIC KIDS.I HAVE MYSELF GOT MY BP AND SUGAR CONTROLLED BY HIS HELP.
CONSULT SB BY MAIL.HIS MAILING ADDRES–sbsidh317@gmail.com

SALAAM,
MY SON 9YRS OLD.
WE TAKE MEDICINE FROM THIS GENTLEMAN SB.
WALLA NOW MY SON TEKE NO INSULIN.
NOW HIS SAKHER IN CONTROL.
SHUKRAAN.
I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when I was 4 years old, how the hell would ‘good exercise’ or ‘having A physically active lifestyle’ have aided me in not developing diabetes? .
stephen you &my friend are sailing in same boat. i have manage to controll my sugar with sb help,my friend has similar story like your now she has started taking sb medicine.
better consult sb he will mail you what you have to do which will help you out.
read above comments on sb.he is reaally good in dropping insulin &tablets.
Maintain your health before the diabetes came. Prevention is better than cure.
my son 12 rear old.
type 1 .Having insulin from 2 years.Now recently last month I got sb sidh adress.Now my son having sb medicine. sb didn’t take any money for medicine.He gave me 2 month medication.Yesterday my son sugar 60 unit down.sb say very soon we reduce insulin even my doctor don’t have answer how type 1 diabetes sugar reducing. but I am happy.i want to say thanks to this site .becaas i got sb maill address from this site.thank you
Hi all, I am a mother of a newly diagnosed diabetic 2yr old son. There is no amount of exercise or healthy eating that can prevent the onset of Type 1 diabetes. I have read alot of articles from months of research that show that cows milk, the Bovine Enzyme in cows milk is the most likely cause of Type 1 diabetes. I have also read that 3 newly diabetic infants have been cured from Type 1 diabetes after they stopped drinking cows milk and all diary products for 6 months. I pray that there is a cure that will be found soon to help everyone with this terrible burden. Type 1 diabetes cannot be reversed like type 2 can. Once you get type 1 diabetes, you have it for life. Our whole family will be going diary free for 6 months and if it cures our little angel, I will make sure I’m on every TV station and newspaper spreading the good news. I also emailed SB asking for help and hope that he is the answer to my prayers. Thankyou to the helpful people on this site and I pray with all my heart that you will soon be rid of type 1 and that your lives will again be normal. God Bless, Suzie
To those that say there isn’t a cure or people are not working toward a cure for diabetes, I say rubbish. I’m 22 years old and I was diagnosed in February 2010 (about a year and a half ago). I’m 130 pounds, 6 feet tall, and in pretty good physical health. Anyway, being a biology major, I made full use of the search engines available at my college to research my new diagnosis. I can personally say that there are MANY researchers around the world that are finding breakthroughs that can REVERSE Type 1 Diabetes.
For example, they’re finding that the immune attack that causes Type 1 diabetes can be stopped (as in the article above) and the pancreas can even regrow and even reproduce some of the beta cells.
Even alpha cells (other cells of the pancreas) have been observed to convert into beta-cells.
Other research shows that even people that have had Type 1 diabetes for decades still retain some beta cell function (meaning the attack on the pancreas is still going on).
To sum this up… researchers are looking for and finding substances that can stop the autoimmune attack and substances that can aid in the beta cell reprogramming, proliferation, and reproduction. In conclusion, Type 1 Diabetes IS DEFINITELY curable!
People tell me that I haven’t been effected by this disorder! I HAVE DIABETES! Not to mention, my sister has had type 1 for almost 24 years (since she was 2 years old!). I also have at least 5 close friends with it and I can’t begin to count the number of people I know with Type 2. So don’t tell me I’m not effected by this!
And please, if you have negative opinions toward this kind of research, keep it to yourself! Those of us that are actually optimistic for our futures don’t want to hear your negative comments!
I agree with Chris & I myself is good proof of getting rid of insulin with help of SB group medication.
its not only me but also many Indian kids and other people all around the world, are using SB medicine.
he is one man show against whole world with diabetes. grow more trees and eat leaves powder. go green. join SB group to go green and get rid of insulin. herbal medication do give good effect than insulin. but it takes time.
Will they ever introduce this vaccine to humans? If so, would it only prevent diabetes in people without it, or would it eliminate diabetes in people that currently suffer from it? Also, after taking the vaccine is there a possibility that the diabetes can come back? The reason I am asking is because when I was an early teen I wanted to join the Marines; however I was diagnosed with type 1 a few years ago so I unfortunately cannot join anymore. So, would this vaccine create the possibility of me being able to join the marines in the future?
