Wrong diagnosis in the first place would be my guess. It will be like Halle Berry and really a Type 2.

My nurse told me of one case, and she knew it was true because she was in nursing school with the young woman at the time
Unfortunately once beta cells are gone, they're gone. BUT we can still have hope 🙂 I have been working on a research project looking into upcoming treatments (Are Pancreatic Transplant Procedures Suitable Long-term Treatments for People with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus?) and there have been quite a few promising trials and discoveries recently. With new changes in the law, we can expect to see some advances pretty soon! The future is bright!

Yes there is a lot of amazing stuff going on!
One of the main things I was interested in with beta cell replacement was how a 2005 study manipulated monocytes (unmatured red blood cells) and encouraged them to produce insulin. This study was based off a previous study using hepatocytes (liver cells) but one of the main problems at the moment is creating a mechanism which tells them when to stop.
I found these fascinating, you should definitely give them a read if you have some spare time!
