NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Treatment with a drug called anakinra
improves blood glucose levels and the secretion of insulin by the beta-
cells of the pancreas in patients with type 2 diabetes, new research
shows.

Anakinra, also known by the brand name Kineret, blocks an inflammatory
compound in the body called interleukin 1 and is usually used to treat
arthritis. Lab findings, however, indicate that it might be helpful in
people with type 2 diabetes by protecting beta-cells from glucose-
induced impairment.

Here is one I just read in a recent newspaper at our home. I don't know if
they do the same but it sounded really good.

Doc said I could do the Januvia if I want to. I told him I want OFF
medications not more expensive ones added. He says Januvia is
wonderful.
