Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder characterised by the destruction of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, leading to insulin deficiency and high blood sugar levels[4]. Current therapies for type 1 diabetes primarily involve insulin therapy and proper daily management, including blood sugar monitoring, carb counting, and medical checkups[4]. However, researchers are exploring novel […]
