determine if a drug is safe and effective, at what doses it works best, and what side effects it causes--information that guides
health professionals and, for nonprescription drugs, consumers in the proper use of medicines."

Attention - Diabetes Mellitus!
Improve the Life Quality!
"The Moscow Scientific Research Institute of Transplantation and Artificial
Organs has elaborated and have been using an original method for treatment
diabetes mellitus, which consists of getting and transplantation to a
patient active culture of basofile cells of the pancreas.
Medical effect duration of transplantation is in average I year. In fact,
insulin requirement is decreasing by 20-30% during a year. Diabetes mellitus
repeated complications don't mare progress and even partially are cured, the
sight is improving, legs pain getting less, disposition to hypoglycemic
conditions development disappeared.
The culture is injected through a thick needle under topical anesthesia to
the restus abdominis."

"The goal of the prevention trials is to stop or delay the immune destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas in people at risk for type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease."
The Loop Club
(http://www.loopclub.org/)
"The ultimate goal is 'TO CLOSE THE LOOP', namely that such a sensor would be tied to an implanted insulin pump that would be able to deliver the correct amount of insulin at the exact time it is needed, without involving the patient in the process, thus creating an artificial pancreas."
Navigator

"...the world's largest ever diabetes prevention trial, with 9,150 people taking part in 39 countries around the world.
The aim of the Navigator study is to investigate means to prevent type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases such as heart disease and stroke in people who are at greater risk of these diseases.
All the participants in Navigator have a condition called impaired glucose tolerance (IGT)...
DREAM
(http://www.dream-ctn.org/)
"...a new international clinical trial to study drug prevention of type 2 diabetes mellitus. DREAM will determine if ramipril and rosiglitazone, used alone or together can prevent type 2 diabetes mellitus in patients with impaired glucose (blood sugar) tolerance."
