Implant removes blood sugar without insulin
A team of researchers developed a small electronic device that can be implanted inside the body to wirelessly suppress high blood sugar levels without the need for insulin or medications. The device is called "ECO" and relies on electrochemical stimulation technology to convert glucose into a compound that is expelled through the kidneys, quickly reducing blood sugar levels within an hour and automatically balancing them through continuous monitoring via a smartphone. Experiments on obese mice with type 2 diabetes showed that the device helped regulate blood sugar levels and shifted metabolism towards fat burning instead of glucose, with positive results in stabilizing sugar levels and improving the animals' health. However, the technology is still in the testing phase on animals, and its effectiveness in humans has not yet been proven or confirmed to replace current treatments for diabetes and obesity.
