Type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune condition that activates the immune system to destroy pancreas cell. When the cells are destroyed, pancreas cannot produce insulin.
People with type 1 diabetes depend on insulin to replace what the body cannot produce, new research discovered that omega-3 fatty acids can reduce autoimmune responses of the disease.
Omega-3 fatty acids can stop inflammatory process in the body, this process can stop or prevent autoimmune diseases.
Non-obese diabetic mice were used for an experiment, omega-3 was increased in their diet and were tested every 3 months to detect glucose and insulin tolerance.
The researchers examined the pancreas of the mice for insulitis, they discovered that adding omega-3 to the diet of mice improved glucose metabolism and control blood sugar and insulin for 182 days and prevents autoimmunity.
