Research spotlight
– is there a cure for diabetes?

At the moment, there isn't a simple cure for diabetes, and we know that a cure could mean very different things to people affected by the different forms of the condition – in our video, Dr Alasdair Rankin, Diabetes UK Director of Research, discusses some of our research in this area.

Dr Rankin talks about the following Diabetes UK funded research projects:

Type 1 diabetes

  • Artificial pancreas
  • Vaccine

Type 2 diabetes

  • Genetic mechanisms
  • Very low-calorie diet.
