last night before going to bed , I watch a feature about diabetes , and according to recent studies they were able to generate a new way to control diabetes, with the aid of stem cell regeneration ,they have managed to control diabetes without administering insuling to the patient's blodd stream , though this studies have not been prove to be 100% still it pose a promising advancement and hope to those suffering form diabetes.

After taking insulin for 18 years I'd hope there would be some advances, but is it really easier to get cells implanted into you instead of taking an injection? I'd be happier with my 2 shots a day than getting cut open every few months.

so you have type diabetes , I think so cause the experiments works like , after implanting the new cells , it would then generate new cells that doesn't require insulin to absorn glucose to enter the cells.

Yeah, I wish that they could discover a better way to fight diabetes. My father is suffering from that disease and we worry about him everyday. He's so thin and I could see that he's always having a hard time walking. He's already 65 but I wish there can be a miracle cure so that his health would improve.
