This is a HUGE breakthrough for people who are living with type 1 diabetes and could potentially help people with type 2 diabetes, too.

KCRA.com says that a new 8-year study from Massachusetts General Hospital found that tuberculosis vaccines can reverse advanced cases of diabetes!

The doctor who led the study said: “This trial is unique in treating people who have longstanding disease — 10, 15, 20 years out.”

Researchers discovered that patients blood sugar levels dropped to the nearly normal range and stayed there three years after getting two tuberculosis vaccines. Having blood sugars that are within a healthy range reduces the risk of complications from diabetes.

So how do the scientists think it works? They think that the tuberculosis vaccines help “the body produce a hormone called TNF. It’s a hormone people with Type I diabetes need.”

Another trial is currently underway and the researchers think that these findings might help people with type 2 diabetes as well.

How awesome is that?! See more on this story, HERE
