Transplant May Reverse Type 1 Diabetes
Really interesting story about a man who got a transplant of islet cells. He has been insulin free for 9 months since the transplant. Is this a potential cure for diabetes? Read the story and let me know what you think!
Once transplanted, the cells begin to produce insulin, and that may reverse a patient's diabetes. It's unclear how long the diabetes will remain reversed ... Reynolds received his transplant in January 2009. He has been insulin free since February...Link: Transplant May Reverse Type 1 Diabetes

I visited the website of the center that does the transplants. It has more information:

I find it encouraging research.
