Dbar Editor:
On behalf of the Huron -Bruce branch of
the Canadian Diabetes Association, I
would like to thank all of you .who have
given so generously to the annual diabetes
appeal. Funds raised go for ongoing
research into new and better ways to con-
trol and hopefully find a cure for diabetes.
Diabetes develops when the pancreas
fail to produce enough effective insulin for
the body to convert food to energy. It af-
fects more than one million Canadians. Its
complications - blindness, kidney disease,
gangrene, heart disease and stroke - make
it the third leading cause of death.
Today scientists are investigating new
methods . of treating the insulin dependent
diabetic. One of the most promising in-
volves the now successful transplanting of
microencapsulated islet -cells between rats
and rats and mice but much research is
needed to develop treatment safe enough
for use in humans. Recent research in
diabetic rats indicates that vanadyl might
possibly work as well as insulin does to
reduce blood glucose and cholesterol
levels. Vanadyl could be taken by mouth so
it would be "no more insulin - goodbye
needles" in the not too distant future, we
hope!
I would like to thank the following
