Transplantation of pancreatic islets

The first islet transplant was performed at Montreal’s McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) in 2015.

The potential of new technologies and therapies to reduce hypoglycemia

A major research project was launched this winter in Québec. University researchers, health professionals (physicians, dietitians, kinesiologists, and psychologists) from major diabetes centres across the province, along with their patient partners, have joined forces to implement the BETTER (BEhaviors, Therapies, TEchnologies and hypoglycemic Risk in Type 1 diabetes) program.

An agressive treatment for the remission of type 2 diabetes?

Currently, treatments for type 2 diabetes aim to control the level of sugar in the blood (blood glucose) to minimize the risk of developing long-term complications (e.g., damage to the kidneys, eyes, and nerves). Although this approach has been shown to be effective, the goal is to control the disease, not cure it.
