From #UAB: New research conducted at UAB has shown that the common blood pressure drug Verapamil completely reverses diabetes in animal models. Now, thanks to a three-year, $2.1 million grant from the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, UAB researchers will begin conducting a potentially groundbreaking clinical trial in 2015 to see if it can do the same in humans. The trial, known as “the repurposing of Verapamil as a beta cell survival therapy in type 1 diabetes,” is scheduled to begin early next year and has come to fruition after more than a decade of research efforts in UAB’s Comprehensive Diabetes Center. Watch the video to learn the science behind the research.
