China Successfully Cures Type 2 Diabetes Patient with Cell Therapy

For the first time in China, a patient with type 2 diabetes has been cured using cell therapy. The 59-year-old man had been suffering from the disease for 25 years and had faced severe complications. Most of his pancreatic islet cells, which play a crucial role in regulating blood glucose levels, had failed, and his life depended on daily insulin injections. In July 2021, the patient underwent a cell transplantation procedure. Following this, his body started producing insulin on its own, and within a year, the man was able to discontinue taking blood sugar regulating tablets.
