I would ping my brother, if the VA hadn’t killed him. Maybe this will be the cure he was hoping for.

I’ll reserve the decision whether to jump up and down with joy until I know where they’re getting the stem cells.

Interesting development. Hope the trials show as much promise

Thanx.

Im type II. I signed on to a diabetes ping list, guess not yours.

If you run a list please include me.

Thanx.

“You may be wondering why this is a big deal.”

Sounds kind of Glenn Beck’ish...and that’s when I stop reading the article. I think most informed people do not “wonder why (curing Type 1) would be a big deal”.

I’ll wait around for a credible source to say the same.

A "cure" is a one-time thing. This is a 24-month treatment.

Not saying that's a bad thing, just sayin'...

Prevention for type one diabetes has been known for a long time. Dosing infants with 2000 IU’s per day of vitamin d3 during the first year prevented 80% of the type one cases that should have appeared during the succeeding 20+ years.
Rodents knock outs that are engineered to become type ones are prevented from becoming type ones by dosing with d3
while they are pups.

These clinical trials are sure to be conducted,at least partially,at the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston,a world famous center for the treatment of,and research into,the disease.I have contacts there that I'll be contacting out of great curiosity.

I hope their plan is to use one’s own stem cells for the treatment.
