This was major news when my son was diagnosed nine years ago.
I’m skeptical, but we’ll see. (I’m glad the research is being done.)
My 15 year old son has been living with Type 1 since age 4. This would be a miracle for him. Unfortunately, diabetes is a multi-billion dollar a year business, so I don’t have my hopes up that this will actually make it to market, although I pray that it will.

This was one tiny study. There will still be extensive clinical testing to prove safety and effectivness required.
Is this right? I am Type II. As I understand it, Type I is where the pancreas produces no insulin because the islet cells have all died off or have been damaged.
Type II diabetics have functioning pancreas insulin production but the cells cannot use it because the insulin cannot make the transition at the receptor sites.
So how does a vaccine increase insulin production in a body that has no mechanism for doing so?
I read about this in another forum. Don’t get too excited- the sample consists of 3 patients. Would like to see a proper study done, though.

Good news! Thanks!
Let me put this out there for people who may need this info.
I believe that this article is geared more for type II diabetics.
