As TFA notes, converting blood glucose into other forms and then evacuating that via the kidneys is a problem for those type two diabetics who also have chronic kidney disease.

And this technology is probably at least a decade or more away from existing in the real world, having gotten all the appropriate approvals, etc….

But for those people who have similar problems with other chemicals in the bloodstream, and who don’t already have the equivalents of various drugs that help clear glucose through the kidneys, this may show some promise. I think we just have to wait a decade or two before we can see that.
