Resurge is the only product in the world that contains the 8 special nutrients in the exact amounts shown to help improve deep‑sleep in both women and men.
Pediatric endocrinologists, doctors who care for children with diabetes, at Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock have seen a recent increase in children with more severe cases of Type 1 diabetes. Symptoms may include feeling very thirsty, fatigue, blurry vision, having to pee frequently and/or bed-wetting, feeling very hungry or losing weight (even though your child is eating), yeast infections, diaper rash and/or thrush. Left untreated, children may experience more severe symptoms such as fruity smelling breath, heavy, taxed breathing, vomiting, and confusion. These symptoms can occur quickly and can be dangerous. See your child’s pediatrician if you notice any of these signs or symptoms to ensure your child gets the care they need.

The two types of diabetes, Type I Diabetes & Type II Diabetes, affect 1 in every 10 Americans. Type I remains the leading cause of a host of issues, including blindness, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, liver failure, and limb amputation, and it can remove up to 10 years from someone’s life expectancy.
While a pancreas transplant is curative for this devastating disease, there is no mass therapy or cure, and there aren’t enough transplants for everyone.
However, as Seraxis founder Dr. William Rust explains in this video, the entire organ doesn’t need to be transplanted to have the same curative impact. Scientists have discovered that only the small clusters of Pancreas “islet” cells, responsible for secreting insulin, need to be transplanted to provide a cure.
Dr. Rust knows “the race is on to develop a supply of islets that does not come from organ donation so that all of the patients who need this therapy can have it.” Seraxis developed a cell therapy made up of lab-grown islets cells that are functional, curative, and don’t require immune suppression.
Seraxis’s research is leading the charge, and because of funding from the Maryland Stem Cell Research Fund, its preliminary findings showed exciting promise and it’s on the verge of launching its first clinical trial to show its efficacy in humans. If all goes successfully, they believe they’ll be able to commercialize this cellular therapy for patients in need in the next 5 years.
“We hope to demonstrate that patients, who previously needed injections 5 times a day, can walk out of the clinic completely independent of insulin,” shares Dr. Rust.
Despite the dire need of developing a cure for diabetes that is independent of an organ transplant, Dr. Rust explains “there is very little support for doing this type of work,” with the exception of the support he received from the Maryland Stem Cell Research Fund.

Professor Eran Segal of the Weizmann Institute speaks with Eric Topol, M.D. founder of the Scripps Research Translational Institute about how the gut microbiome intermediates metabolic diseases such as prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. Video Rating: / 5
Type 2 diabetes has become a pandemic and is showing no signs of slowing down. Today, the estimated worldwide prevalence of type 1 and 2 diabetes is close to 300 million. This number is predicted to rise to 439 million by 2030, with type 2 diabetes accounting for about 90% of these cases. Individuals with type 2 diabetes are often told by their doctors that their disease can be effectively managed with healthy eating, regular exercise and blood sugar monitoring. These students have created a series of three videos that simplify the complex disease process of type 2 diabetes in the hopes that better understanding will motivate patients to better manage their disease.
This video illustrates what can go wrong when blood sugar levels are too high.
Learning objectives:
– Understand the disease mechanisms underlying type 2 diabetes
– Understand the link between obesity and insulin resistance
– Understand the negative impacts of high blood glucose
– Learn why it is so important to effectively manage Type 2 diabetes
This is the third video of our diabetes series, “Taking charge of our child’s diabetes.” In this video, you will learn how to monitor your child’s blood glucose. The video answers the following questions: How do you keep track of your child’s blood sugar? What is too high or too low blood glucose? Why is it so important to check your child’s blood sugar at bedtime? What is a Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)? This video also demonstrates how to check your child’s blood sugar using a glucometer and provides tips on snacks, and how to keep a blood sugar log.
A diabetes diagnosis means the body cannot regulate blood sugar due to inadequate insulin production from the pancreas — a long, flat gland that sits behind the stomach in the upper abdomen. The results for a patient with diabetes can be vision loss, and nerve and damage to other organs, unless blood sugar is controlled using medication or the patient undergoes a pancreas transplant.
“A pancreas transplant is the only cure for diabetes. It does not control diabetes. It cures diabetes,” says Dr. Tambi Jarmi, a transplantation medicine physician at Mayo Clinic. “I find myself having a hard time convincing a diabetic patient after they receive the pancreas transplant that they are cured ― they’re not diabetic. They don’t believe it.”
