Research on a natural cell chemical could pave the way to a "vitamin" pill that prevents or even reverses diabetes, scientists predict.

The compound, nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), plays a vital role in the way cells use energy.

Scientists in the US were able to normalise blood sugar levels in diabetic mice by injecting them with the chemical. At the same time the jabs lowered raised levels of cholesterol and triglyceride blood fats.
