There's good news for the millions of people suffering from type 2 diabetes: researchers in Canada have recently demonstrated the potential of retinoic acid, a derivative of Vitamin A, in treating the disease and preventing its cardiovascular consequences.

Rates of both type 1 and 2 diabetes have been increasing in the U.S. and elsewhere over the last decade, rising to epidemic-like proportions. Health officials have never been more anxious for medical breakthrough.

Now, researchers at the University of Montreal and CHUM Research Centre may have found one.
