Researchers are helping diabetics put their Type 2 diabetes into remission, where the blood sugar levels are kept within a healthy range. For Type 1, scientists are looking for ways to prevent the immune system’s attack on beta cells, which causes diabetes. These cells, located in the pancreas, produce the insulin people need to live. As of yet, there is no cure for diabetes mellitus; however, scientists are researching ways to make diabetes harmless one day.

Diabetes continues to be a significant global health concern, with the Western Pacific region reporting the highest number of diabetes-related deaths in 2024, with around 1.2 million.
