A recent study was just published about a new innovative therapy that can possibly cure type one diabetes. It was a small study but these patients who receive stem cell therapy have now been functional without insulin for several months and this is incredible. For anybody who has lived with type one which remember is an autoimmune condition that destroys your ability to make your own insulin. They have to live with injections multiple times a day of insulin. Insulin is one of those hormones that if you can't make it and you don't take it, you'll die. So this is a big deal that if this really comes through for us, then we're talking about insulin pumps and multiple daily injections of insulin, be in a thing of the past. Very exciting and we'll keep you apprised of any updates that I hear. | ↗ |
