Type 1 diabetes is classically the true form of insulinopaenic diabetes usually occurring in young children below the age of 15 years and occasionally up to 20 years and characterised by very low/ negligible fasting C-peptide in their blood due to extensive irreversible Beta cell damage. T1DM probably accounts for 5% to 10% of all diagnosed diabetes. The worldwide prevalence of T1DM is 0.1% to 0.3%, with 78,000 new cases every year, especially among young individuals (<5 years). According to BMC Public Health publication in 2015 T1D incidence was larger in males than in females in those aged >15. Type I diabetes is very much lower (20 times) in countries like Japan and India, than the western countries. The European Nicotinamide Diabetes Intervention Trial (ENDIT) is focused on the use of nicotinamide in the prevention of diabetes. In high doses (nicotinamide), it may cause a degree of sedation, a feeling of depression, and in very large dosages, liver toxicity. Because the vitamin cannot be marketed as a drug, the study is not getting a great deal of support from pharmaceutical companies. GAD antibodies (GADA) are a major diagnostic marker for Type 1 diabetes. Phase II clinical trials of a vaccine containing alum and recombinant GAD65, an auto antigen involved in type 1 diabetes, were promising, as of 2014 Phase III trial had failed. In our quest for improving the clinical condition & quality of life of type I DM & also to reduce the economic burden on them, we have embarked on a novel metaphysical energy therapy which we have been trying for the past 3 years at our research Centre. We have so far treated some 15 cases with this DAMM therapy. Among the 15 cases, 6 cases have shown significant improvement in fasting C-peptide levels. With the advent of this new modality of treatment (DAMM Therapy) the cost of treatment will be greatly reduced. This DAMM Therapy apparently has no side effects. This mode of treatment will open a new light in the world of Type I diabetes.
