Subject: [PCOS] Article: Hormone Could Help Diabetics
> Hormone Could Help Diabetics
> An overlooked hormone might help people with type 1 diabetes
> avoid some of the serious complications of the disease.
> Researchers say that C-peptide, a byproduct of insulin that they
> used to view as waste, may actually play an important role in
> metabolism. It may work with insulin in the same way that oil
> and gas work together in a car's engine, The Associated Press
> reports. Preliminary studies in Sweden found that injecting C-
> peptide along with insulin reduced or delayed the onset of
> complications such as kidney damage, bowel and circulatory
> problems and sexual dysfunction in patients with type 1 (insulin-
> dependent) diabetes. The researchers say the hormone could also
> help some insulin-deficient type 2 diabetics. They plan to do
> larger studies on the effects of daily C-peptide and insulin
> injections on the progress of the disease, the AP says. The
> findings were presented at the Third Annual International Motor
> City Diabetes Symposium in Michigan.
