MIT researchers develop a wireless implant that detects low blood sugar and releases glucagon, offering a potential safety ...

MIT 3D prints glucagon-releasing implant for diabetic care. The quarter-sized reservoir sits under the skin and can be ...

Insulin and glucagon are hormones that help regulate the levels of blood glucose, or sugar, in your body. Glucose comes from the food you eat and moves through your bloodstream to help fuel your body.

MIT’s latest implantable device releasing glucagon automatically when blood sugar drops too low, tested in diabetic mice, ...

In a study in mice, a wireless implant was able to release glucagon as an emergency treatment for hypoglycemia, a serious ...

MIT’s wireless skin implant delivers glucagon instantly when blood sugar drops, offering new safety for diabetics, even while they sleep.

However, in people with diabetes, post-meal glucagon levels may be higher. High glucagon levels paired with not enough insulin in diabetes contribute to excess sugar production in the liver.

Table 1 records data on the 27 spontaneous insulin reactions treated with glucagon. In 24 of the 27 attacks, complete recovery occurred five to thirty minutes after a single intramuscular ...
