A New Zealand biotechnology company disclosed Wednesday a medical breakthrough, possibly a cure for diabetes. The technology involved injecting DiabeCell, made up of over a billion insulin-producing cells from pig pancreas.

The first trial patient, a 26-year-old Russian man, did not exhibit any negative effects after he received his first dose on June. Even if his daily insulin shots were slowly reduced to about 40 percent over the past four months, his blood glucose was at tolerable levels

Highly obese people are six times likely to develop gullet (oesophageal) cancer than people of healthy weight, according to a study published on Thursday in the British journal Gut.

The research, carried out in Australia, included nearly 800 patients with oesophageal cancer and 1,580 adults without oesophageal cancer. They tracked BMI (body mass index, which compares height to weight) among people with and without oesophageal cancer

Eating a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids may prevent high-risk children from developing type 1 diabetes, early research suggests.

Children who have a higher risk of developing type 1 diabetes lower their chances by up to 55 percent if they eat fatty acids often found in fish oils

For patients who are afraid of injections, technology can help them deal with phobias of the jab. Scientists have developed a skin patch that can inject drugs into your body without pain. Doctors can use HP's patented technology to push drugs through several small syringes, which inject into the top layers of the skin avoiding any contact with the pain receptors.

Analysts say that the patch is ideal for quickly administering a patient's daily dose of insulin; however, an expert told BBC News that a procedure like that could increase vulnerability to infections. Professor and researcher Brian Barry, from the University of Bradford, said "The stratum corneum is the layer of skin that keeps your insides in, and the outside world out, and it's perfectly designed for this. The manufacturers would have to demonstrate that making lots of small holes in the skin wasn't letting bacteria and viruses in and causing infection
