ABSTRACT

Nanotechnology is an emerging field in the area of interdisciplinary research, especially in biotechnology. Nanotechnology trying to construct objects atom by atom, the way that the nature does. Nanomedicine is a sub discipline of nanotechnology, an emerging field. nanotechnology offers some new methods in treating diabetes mellitus. Such as Boxes with nano pores that protect transplanted beta cells from the immune system attack, artificial pancreas and artificial beta cell, nanospheres as biodegradable polymeric carrier for oral delivery of insulin. This also offers new implantable and/or wearable sensing technologies that provide continuous and extremely accurate medical information about the blood glucose level of patient especially for the children and older patients. The aim of present review is to offers more information on the recent advaces and impact of nanotechnology to cure diabetes.
