Researchers in Shanghai say they have successfully cured type 2 diabetes in a 59-year-old patient.
They used stem cells from the patient’s blood to kickstart the pancreas into producing its own insulin.
After 11 weeks , the patient was taken off insulin, and then the other oral drugs for diabetes management were gradually reduced.
The patient remains insulin-independent 33 months after the stem cell transplant.
More research is needed to determine whether this diabetes cure can be replicated at scale.
