As a diabetes researcher, results like this don't surprise me one bit, but I'm glad they're getting national coverage! A publication in Nature is an incredible achievement, congrats to the teams involved.
We think good glucose control is at the center of a whole host of medical issues, inside and outside the hospital. Bringing critically ill patients under control has been found to reduce mortality rates by up to 30%, results which have been repeated several times in thousands of patients. These drugs, which are less intense than insulin therapy, confer similar glucoregulatory effects, which has all sorts of cascading hormone benefits etc.

Exciting stuff, thanks for sharing!
