DIABETES
At Health First Diabetes research focuses heavily on three pillars: curing type 1 diabetes through cellular regeneration and stem-cell therapies, reversing type 2 diabetes through intensive metabolic management, and developing targeted medications like GLP-1 receptor agonists to protect against cardiovascular and kidney complications

Islet Cell Transplants:
Scientists are making significant strides in transplanting insulin-producing beta cells, with trials exploring encapsulation methods to protect these cells from immune attacks without the need for lifelong immunosuppressants.
Stem Cell Therapies:
Research is successfully generating functional, insulin-producing cells from stem cells in a laboratory setting, aiming to restore the pancreas’s natural ability to regulate glucose
Clinical trials (like D2d) are exploring whether vitamin D supplementation is a safe and effective way to delay the onset of type 2 diabetes in high-risk individuals.
