Type 1 Surprise

Posted by devanab5 @devanab5, Aug 12, 2018

Hi, does anyone on here talk about type 1? I am only seeing stuff about type 2.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Diabetes & Endocrine System Support Group.

@santina

Hello @santina,

I'd like to add my welcome, and also let you know that I moved your discussion and combined it with this existing discussion as I thought it would be beneficial for you to be introduced to other members talking about Type 1 diabetes.
If you click on VIEW & REPLY in your email notification, you will see the whole discussion and can join in, meet, and participate with other members talking about their or their loved ones' experiences.

I also found a recently published study, that shows how patients who had been treated with the BCG vaccine – vaccine used to prevent tuberculosis – had normal blood sugar levels eight years after the trial ended, and their Type 1 diabetes was reversed to almost undetectable levels. You can read the details here:

@santina and @johnbishop @hopeful33250 are you familiar with these findings?

No, I was not familiar with these findings. It does sound very encouraging, though. There haven't been many studies that offer cures for any type of diabetes.

thank you, for your thoughts!

Hi is there anyone that had stem cell for type one diabetes?

Hello @santina

What a good question! Perhaps someone will post who has been involved in a clinical trial regarding this. In the meantime, Mayo Clinic has a department for Regenerative Medicine and when I looked at their website it appears as if they are working on this for diabetics.

How long have you had Diabetes?
