GABA and Beta-cell Regeneration

Overview

GABA(gamma-Aminobutyric acid) may be used for decreasing anti-gad antibodies and leads beta-cell regeneration.

100 patients with type I diabetes were in 2 groups, had been monitored in a private clinic, number 50 each group, with 30 females and 20 males after the written consent of all patients.

The second group was only on insulin injection in the form of toujeo once daily and Novorapid 3 times daily. In the first group;the investigator measured fasting c peptide levels before and after 6 months of GABA 750mg daily.Also,the investigator measured anti gad antibodies before and after 6 months of treatment.
