First potential human recovered from type1 diabetes with new stem cell treatment

Ironic that the current trials will take 5 years, given how many times T1s have been promised that a cure is “5 years away” (seriously, it’s a running joke) — but this does look promising.

Looking toward to talking to my endo about his views on this and for the first time in a long while, feeling slightly hopeful that this may not be a lifelong, incurable disease. Unfortunately if the only viable path for now requires immunosuppression, it’s going to be a non starter for many like myself, but it’s still a legitimate breakthrough that can hopefully lead to other avenues.
