New Discoveries on Long-term Insulin Production in Type 1 Diabetes

[Northerner]

Traditional doctrine holds that insulin production in people with type 1 diabetes ceases as soon as one year after diagnosis. However, new ultrasensitive blood assays have demonstrated that many people with type 1 diabetes produce insulin at low levels for decades after diagnosis.

The clinical consequences of low-level insulin production were previously unknown, but two studies being presented at this week's EASD Congress expand on previous data.
