Type-2 Diabetes
FGF-1 for Type-2 Diabetes:
Zhittya Genesis Medicine is developing a drug treatment, which we believe can effectively cure Type-2 Diabetes.
Leading medical research institutions and Zhittya believe that Type-2 Diabetes is a neurological disease caused by the glucose sensing neurons in the brain not performing normally. We believe, our molecule, FGF-1, resets the glucose-sensing neurons in the brain.
Starting in 2014, medical research from leading institutions like the Salk Institute, Howard Hughes, Scripps, Yale University, and the Health & Human Services (HHS) showed that FGF-1 reverses Type-2 Diabetes in diabetic animal models. It boosts insulin sensitivity in muscles and reduces liver glucose production, all without risks like low blood sugar, weight gain, or liver damage. Studies were repeated year after year demonstrating this huge potential to effectively cure diabetes.
Zhittya Genesis Medicine is advancing this potential treatment for Type-2 Diabetes. In the British Virgin Islands, where Zhittya is cleared to do a medical research study, Zhittya Genesis Medicine has dosed 25 patients suffering from Type-2 Diabetes. Over the course of the study these patients were no longer diabetic. The longest has remained diabetes-free for 2 years.
Medical Research Study to Reverse Type-2 Diabetes- Las Vegas, NV
Zhittya Genesis Medicine has received Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval to do a 100 person medical research study in Las Vegas, Nevada to confirm whether FGF-1 can reverse and/or effectively cure Type-2 Diabetes.
This is a sample of one of the many publications, this one from the Health & Human Services showing that FGF-1 can reverse and effectively cure Type-2 Diabetes. For more of these papers visit our main website: zgm.care

History
FGF-1 is a potent stimulator of angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels, and is capable of growing new blood vessels in ischemic areas of the body, including the brain. Research has indicated that a lack of blood perfusion to glucose-sensing neurons in the brain could lead to Type-2 Diabetes.
The management of Zhittya has spent over $190 million dollars to advance this molecule bringing it as far as US FDA Phase IIA/Phase IIB clinical trials in various indications.
In the past, FGF-1 has been able to grow new blood vessels in the human body. In a US FDA Phase IIA clinical trial, conducted at the University of Cincinnati, our drug was able to grow new blood vessels in the hearts of individuals with coronary artery disease, improving many of their symptoms. Moreover, this drug has been studied in diabetic foot uclers, stroke recovery, and more.
Watch as Zhittya Genesis Medicine’s drug is used to grow new blood vessels in the human heart in a US FDA Phase IIA Clinical Trial done at the University of Cincinnati, and reported by ABC Nightly News. Zhittya believes that by growing new blood vessels in the human brain, that the Type-2 Diabetes could be reversed if not effectively cured.
Watch our theory of how we believe FGF-1 can be used to treat neurodegenerative diseases by growing new blood vessels. In this animated video which shows our theory of our blood vessels grow, reestablishing blood flow to the brain.
