Just a snippet, no details:
People suffering from type 1 diabetes can still be cured, even years after the original diagnosis.
This is the conclusion of research conducted by Professor Bart Roep of Leiden University Medical Centre who published his findings on Tuesday.
Professor Roep discovered that people suffering from type 1 diabetes still have insulin-producing cells, albeit dormant. His discovery negates earlier research which concluded that these cells are completely absent in type 1 diabetes patients. If these cells can be reactivated the patient could be cured, even as long as 10 years after the original diagnosis was made.
