This groundbreaking study published in Cell showcases a new stem cell treatment that successfully reversed Type 1 diabetes in a 25-year-old woman, allowing her to produce insulin naturally.
The woman who underwent the treatment expressed her newfound freedom: 'I can eat sugar now. I enjoy eating everything - especially hotpot,' indicating the profound impact on her quality of life.
Researchers took adult cells from three individuals with Type 1 diabetes, reprogrammed them into stem cells, and transformed those into insulin-producing islet cells, demonstrating an innovative approach to treatment.
Within months, the patient was able to stop insulin injections entirely, with her blood glucose levels stabilizing to a point where it was as if she had never had diabetes.
