Now diabetes can be diagnosed before the first symptoms appear

Scientists from the University of Geneva, Switzerland, have found a molecule that allows you to detect diabetes before the first signs of the disease appear.

What plays a role in the development of this disease?

Inflammation plays a key role in the development of diabetes. In particular, the overflow and damage of the pancreas to fat changes the activity of insulin-producing beta-cells. The result is that they produce less hormone. Beta-cell damage is a sign of this disease.

The researchers conducted an experiment using the methods of artificial intelligence and Molecular Biology.

Among the thousands of molecules, it was the type that most vividly represented pancreatic beta cell damage that was detected. It is a molecule of 1.5-aniroglyucitola (1.5-AGG), and its decrease in the body indicates a deficiency of beta cells.

The experiment, which was successfully carried out in animals, was tested in humans at the next stage.

In the process, the amount of 1.5-aniroglyucitola of diabetics and healthy people was compared. As a result, there was a significant decrease in the level of 1.5-AGG in patients with diabetes mellitus. It was noted that this is observed even before the onset of the first signs of the disease.

This discovery can help develop convenient and affordable methods for diabetes prevention. Because the level of 1,5-AGG can be easily determined using a simple blood test.
