This week diabetes patients received some refreshing news about new chemicals that may help control diabetes. With a summer full of controversy and warnings about the effects of Avandia this news must be music to the ears of diabetes suffers. Scientists at Sitris Pharmaceuticals in Massachusetts were able locate chemicals that mimic the effects of red wine. The key ingredient in red wine, resveratol, has been shown to protect against fatty diets and combat the aging process.

In lab studies the chemicals have been shown to be very effective in treating type-1 and type-2 diabetes with little to no side effects. The breakthrough comes after scientist investigated over 500 thousand different chemicals and compounds with SRT 1720 becoming a standout among others tested. Studies conducted using fattened rodents were demonstrated a significant reduction in blood sugar levels in those that were treated when compared to those that were not.

Human clinical trials are expected to begin sometime next year and if they are successful we could be well on our way to a side effect free method to treat diabetes.
