More About Diabetes Stem Cell Treatment
Diabetes is a common chronic condition, having no definite cure, treatment is primarily focused on controlling the blood sugar levels by medicines, insulin injections and maintaining a proper diet. Diabetes can affect every organ of the body, so essential to keep sugar levels under control. With the use of stem cell therapy, there might be a cure for diabetes. An embryonic stem cell can develop a beta cell and these cells of the pancreas can be then transferred to diabetic patients.

Types of Diabetes
There are two major types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2.
- Type 1 Diabetes: Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), or juvenile onset diabetes mellitus- here the beta cells of the pancreas, which are responsible for insulin production, are attacked by the immune system, and thus incapable of making insulin. People with type 1 diabetes must rely on insulin medication for survival.
- Type 2 Diabetes: Non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), or adult onset diabetes mellitus (AODM). In type 2 diabetes, patients can produce insulin, but its inadequate for their body's needs, as there is a lack of sensitivity to insulin by the cells of the body.
