Peptide hydrogel boosts islet transplantation
We explored a cutting-edge peptide hydrogel designed to improve islet transplantation outcomes for diabetes. By integrating glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) into a self-assembling nanofiber structure, we aimed to address the common issues of islet graft survival and function.

In our tests, this innovative hydrogel notably increased islet function and longevity, reducing inflammation and enhancing metabolic control in a mouse model. The findings show promise for localized delivery methods and suggest a potential breakthrough in diabetes treatment through improved graft efficacy.

Biotin supplementation shows potential benefits
We examined how biotin and prebiotic supplementation may aid metabolism in severe obesity and type 2 diabetes. The study involved metagenomic analyses of 1,545 subjects, showing that severe obesity is linked to low biotin-producing gut bacteria and inadequate biotin levels in the body.

We observed that biotin supplementation, along with prebiotics, could enhance gut health and improve metabolic states, potentially reducing weight gain and blood sugar issues. This suggests promising avenues for preventing metabolic decline in severely obese individuals.

Biotin's potential in diabetes management
We explored the potential of high-dose biotin to help manage diabetes in individuals with type 1 diabetes. This treatment aims to address the low insulin exposure that affects liver enzyme expression, which is crucial for maintaining balanced blood sugar levels.

Although early pilot trials show some promising outcomes, the results are not definitive enough to confirm significant benefits.

Given its safety, tolerance, and availability, it's clear that further research is needed to fully understand how biotin might be harnessed in diabetes care.

I take biotin for its benefits on hair and nails. It assists with carbohydrate metabolism and is beneficial for hair fragility and skin health. The optimal dosage for hair treatment is about 5,000 mcg per day. I’ve been alternating it with other vitamins, and I've noticed my hair's improved shine and strength. It also seems to help stabilise my blood sugar levels as a diabetic.
