Treatment of Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus, a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, affects millions of people worldwide. Traditional treatments, such as insulin therapy and lifestyle modifications, help manage symptoms but do not provide a cure. Stem cell therapy has opened new horizons in diabetes treatment, offering the potential to restore pancreatic function and eliminate dependence on exogenous insulin.

Re: Treatment of Diabetes
The main focus of stem cell therapy for diabetes is to replace or restore insulin-producing cells called beta cells, which are destroyed in type 1 diabetes and become dysfunctional in type 2 diabetes. Stem cells derived from various sources, such as bone marrow, adipose tissue, and embryonic stem cells, can differentiate into beta cells in vitro and be transplanted into patients with diabetes https://stemplus.clinic/disease-treatment/diabetes/
After transplantation, these new beta cells can begin to produce insulin in response to increased blood glucose levels, thereby restoring glycemic control. Additionally, stem cells have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties that can help protect beta cells from further destruction by the immune system in type 1 diabetes.

Re: Treatment of Diabetes
Clinical trials of stem cell therapy for diabetes have shown promising results, with some patients being able to reduce or stop taking insulin after stem cell transplantation.
