Exposure to sustained, high glucose levels seems to switch the beta-cells off. If the trigger for this could be found, perhaps a drug could block this and turn the beta-cells back on.

How come the researchers want to find a drug to treat the pancreas when reducing the glucose, i.e. low-carbing, can prevent the damage in the first place?
