All About

Diabetes Stem Cell Treatment

Wildlife

Symptoms

  • Increased thirst.
  • Frequent urination.
  • Extreme hunger.
  • Unexplained weight loss.
  • Presence of ketones in the urine (ketones are a byproduct of the breakdown of muscle and fat that happens when there's not enough available insulin)
  • Fatigue.
  • Irritability.

Causes

Type 1 diabetes is caused by the immune system destroying the cells in the pancreas that make insulin. This causes diabetes by leaving the body without enough insulin to function normally. This is called an autoimmune reaction, or autoimmune cause, because the body is attacking itself.

More about Treatment

To cure type 1 diabetes, stem cell replacement needs to be more than simply a case of swapping insulin-producing cells from a healthy pancreas with those destroyed by diabetes in a diabetic patient. Islet cell transplants are one form of procedure that has proven effective.
