Diabetes is emerging as one of the biggest health threats in the modern world, and according to a 2010 report from the Centers for Disease Control, 1 out of 3 adults in the United States could be diagnosed with diabetes by the year 2050.

Called the ‘BioHub,’ it was described as “the closest medical science has gotten to a cure” for Type 1 diabetes, the variety also known as juvenile diabetes because most patients develop it either during their childhood or teen years.” You can read the full story at ABC NEWS.
