An Irish start up organization has gained funding to produce a supplement to prevent pre-diabetes. Pre-diabetes is a condition where the glucose levels inn a persons body are much higher than normal. Patients with Pre-diabetes run a high chance of developing type-2 diabetes. Nuritas has discovered a peptide that could potentially prevent people who have pre-diabetes from going on to develop full-blown diabetes.
