Washington: Researchers have discovered that some bat species have blood sugar levels higher than any other mammal, including those that could potentially be fatal to humans.
A recent report from researchers has revealed that certain bats can survive and grow with blood sugar levels that would be lethal to humans. These bats provide valuable insights into how high blood sugar can be managed without negative effects.
Lead researcher Jasmine Camacho stated that the blood sugar levels found in bats were the highest ever recorded in mammals, adding that these levels could put most mammals into a coma, but for bats, it is a common occurrence.
This discovery may help in understanding diabetes and its management better by offering clues from a species that can thrive with unusually high blood sugar levels.
