JDRF Funds Zucara Therapeutics Approach To Preventing Hypoglycemia In People With Type 1 Diabetes
http://www.zucara.ca/technology/
'Our technology is aimed at creating the first treatment to prevent dangerous low blood sugar by restoring the body’s ability to counter-regulate hypoglycemia. This approach will reduce the likelihood of insulin therapy to cause hypoglycemia without affecting its efficacy. The immediate patient benefits would include the reduced occurrence of hypoglycemia and its associated acute symptoms and effects. This in turn would allow diabetic patients to more aggressively treat themselves with insulin, resulting in better overall health outcomes in the long term.'
