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.

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: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41541-018-0062-8 @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.
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.

Thanks for link Kanaaz @kanaazpereira. I was not aware of the study...interesting and hopeful.

thank you, for your thoughts!
Hi is there anyone that had stem cell for type one diabetes?

Here is a link to a website about stem cell research for diabetes, https://www.mayoclinic.org/search/search-results?q=diabetes%20stem%20cell%20treatment
How long have you had Diabetes?
thank you so much, do you know anyone that reversed type one?
@santina
No I don't. Perhaps someone will respond to your post, though. I hope so!
Dear Teresa, who would administer this vaccine?
