THANKS TO PENNY FOR THIS ONE!


Here's a great link sent in from one of our reader's:

New hope for a Type 1 diabetes cure
Nov. 17: Scientists have cured Type 1 diabetes in lab mice using drugs already on the market to treat cancer, a development that could have enormous implications for the more than one million diabetics in the U.S. NBC's Robert Bazell reports.

Sounds like a good start to the DH team. We like the idea of scientists using drugs that are already approved. No need to wait of the FDA (usually a year or longer) to give the go ahead to get the drugs on the market. We'll keep our eyes and ears peeled on this one.

Thanks Penny!
