The Daily Bolus: Mechanism over metrics, biology over dashboards
The developments highlighted in the bolus today reinforce a theme Diabettech has been circling for years: the most meaningful progress in diabetes does not come from squeezing ever more signal out of glucose curves, but from understanding the biology that sits underneath them.

The Daily Bolus: Mechanism over metrics, biology over dashboards
The developments highlighted in the bolus today reinforce a theme Diabettech has been circling for years: the most meaningful progress in diabetes does not come from squeezing ever more signal out of glucose curves, but from understanding the biology that sits underneath them. Not all of these are from the past 24 hours, but all present an interesting, and in some cases, different take on what might be…

The Daily Bolus: Early Warnings, Genetic Cloaks, and the Seven-Year Shield
Whilst the title of this edition sounds like something out of science fiction, in it we see a masterclass in "biological intelligence."

Whilst the title of this edition sounds like something out of science fiction, in it we see a masterclass in "biological intelligence." As of February 5, 2026, the signal cutting through the noise has shifted from hardware on the skin to the deep cellular architecture of the body. From "immune niches" that act as early-warning systems to cell therapies that refuse to quit after seven years, the…

The Daily Bolus: Red Cell Sponges, Microbiome Signatures, and Cyborg Cells
Today’s research is moving beyond the traditional "big three" of glucose disposal—liver, muscle, and fat. We explore how red blood cells can be recruited as metabolic "sponges," how AI-driven gut signatures are catching insulin resistance earlier than ever, and why an electronic "cyborg" mesh might be the key to making lab-grown pancreatic cells finally function like the real thing. It’s a steady shift toward an integrated, multi-system approach to metabolic health.

Explore a Decade of Diabetes Insights with Diabettech AI
After 10+ years of documenting the diabetes landscape, Diabettech is launching diabettech.ai—a custom research tool designed to help you navigate a decade’s worth of articles and reports. Powered by an LLM interface, this tool allows you to "interrogate" the site’s data to find specific answers on everything from cures to n=1 observations. Key highlights of the beta launch: Targeted Accuracy: Built to stick strictly to Diabettech articles and comments to minimize "hallucinations." Research-Focused: Optimized as a precision tool rather than a standard chatbot to provide relevant article links. Sustainable Design: Privately funded and optimized for efficiency to manage resource costs and query speeds. Ready to dive into the archives? Visit diabettech.ai to start your research and share your feedback on the beta experience.

100% Insulin Independence: Why Eledon’s Breakthrough is a Pillar, Not a Cure
Eledon Pharmaceuticals recently achieved 100% insulin independence in an early-phase islet transplant trial using its anti-CD40L drug, tegoprubart. It’s a massive step forward in transplant immunology that avoids the toxicity of standard drugs. But why isn't it a cure yet, and how does it fit into the actual blueprint of a functional cure?

Now We Know What a Type 1 Cure Could Look Like
The Type 1 cure is no longer theoretical. Human data now points to a blueprint: working cells, immune evasion, and durable immune modulation.
The Daily Bolus: Et tu, B Cells?
Recent news has been defined by a pivot toward "biological intelligence." As of January 21, 2026, the signal cutting through the noise isn't just about managing the disease after it arrives, but about uncovering the "hidden" sabotage within our immune systems and identifying at-risk children before the first symptom ever appears. 1.

What If Type 1 Diabetes Was Treatable — If You Found It Early Enough?
For most of its history, type 1 diabetes (T1D) has been diagnosed late. By the time symptoms appear, the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells has usually been underway for years, with a substantial proportion of insulin-producing capacity already lost. The consequences of this late diagnosis are familiar: diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), emergency hospital admissions, and an abrupt, often…

The Daily Bolus: What happened over the weekend?
The Daily Bolus The weekend news has produced a rare mix of genuinely interesting diabetes science alongside the usual commercial background noise. Notably, some of the most consequential developments did not originate from device manufacturers or glucose-lowering drug pipelines, but from immune biology, metabolomics, and long-term disease-modification research.
