      Our research in diabetes is focusing on the kidney mainly at the moment. We’ve found something that happens in animals with diabetes which we can reverse with a particular medicine and stop the diabetic animals from getting kidney damage. We’re currently looking to see if people with diabetes have the same problem – if so then we could try to use thus drug to reverse kidney damage in people as well….
