Chinese scientists achieve diabetes cure through innovative cell therapy, detailed in Cell Discovery. Patient, treated in July 2021, no longer requires insulin after eleven weeks, and is now medication-free for 33 months. The breakthrough, praised by Timothy Kieffer, signifies a major advancement in diabetes treatment. This novel approach utilizes the body's regenerative abilities and could alleviate China's healthcare burden. Further studies are needed for validation.

    Type 2, since the article doesn’t say.

        The articles suggest that it may be beneficial for Type 1, but that’s unconfirmed. The nature of early-stage clinical trials is that people don’t really know how things will work. That’s the point of the trials.

    If this were true, I wouldn’t be finding out about it on Lemmy

      Lemmy is a news aggregator. Why wouldn’t you find out about an early-stage clinical trial on Lemmy?

      Any such treatment, even if it works, would take decades to pass through the various approval stages before being released to the public.
