Now you will get relief from the hassle of insulin. Chinese scientists discovered the cure of type-2 diabetes from stem cells:

News India Live, Digital Desk: The number of type-2 diabetes patients is increasing rapidly around the world. Till now this disease could only be controlled, but researchers based in Shanghai, China have achieved a breakthrough which is a big step towards ‘eradicating’ it. ‘Cell Discovery’ According to this research published in the journal, success has been achieved in completely freeing a patient from insulin through stem cell therapy.

What is this new stem cell technology?

Scientists have developed ‘Artificial Pancreatic Islets’ using the patient’s own body cells.

How it works: These lab-grown cells work like insulin-producing ‘beta cells’ in the body.

Process: The patient’s peripheral blood mononuclear cells were reprogrammed and transformed into ‘endodermal stem cells’, which eventually transformed into insulin-producing cells.

Transplant: These cells were transplanted into the patient’s body, after which his body started producing insulin naturally.

Surprising results of research

This therapy was tested on a 59-year-old man who was suffering from type-2 diabetes for the last 25 years and was severely dependent on insulin.

Independence from insulin: The patient did not require external insulin within 11 weeks of the transplant.

Blood Sugar Control: Within a year, the man’s blood sugar levels were completely normal and he was also free from other oral medications.

Avoidance of serious complications: This technology can prove to be a game-changer for those patients whose organs (kidney or heart) are on the verge of damage due to diabetes.

Why is this important for type 2 diabetes patients?

Generally, in type-2 diabetes, the body is not able to use insulin properly or the pancreas is not able to produce enough insulin. Taking insulin for a long time has many side effects on the body.

permanent solution: This therapy not only suppresses the symptoms, but also revives the body’s ability to produce insulin.

Protection of organs: By maintaining stable sugar level, the risk of diabetic retinopathy and kidney failure becomes negligible.

Is this treatment available to everyone?

Although this is a revolutionary breakthrough, it is still in the research stage.

Challenges: More clinical trials are needed to investigate its long-term effects and safety parameters before widespread use.

Cost: At present stem cell technology is quite expensive, work will be done to make it affordable in future.
