ScienceDaily: ‘Virus Sponge’ Could Improve Flu Treatments, Diabetes Care, Vaccine Development
Researchers at the University of Maryland’s A. James Clark School of Engineering have created a “virus sponge” that could filter a patient’s blood in a process similar to kidney dialysis, removing the virus from the patient’s body. The concept could also be used to make vaccine production more efficient and in a pill to reduce glucose levels in diabetics, among other applications.
OK, so it’s more of an alternative treatment than a cure, but we’ll see if this one ever comes to market. . .

You’ll be happy to know that we’re closing in on the correct insulin dosage and cycle for Scratchy. His fur is growing in again and he’s in good spirits.

Yay for Scratchy! The scariest part about diabetes is always the beginning part. Once you learn your levels and how various things affect you, the more predictable — if not “easy” — it all becomes. Just tell Scratchy to continue a strong exercise regimen!
