Stem cell therapy for diabetes has not yet been proven effective and is still in its early experimental stages, warned the Philippine Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism (PSEM), a group of diabetes specialists under the Philippine College of Physicians (PCP).
Stem cell therapy is, at present, an experimental treatment for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and should not be used as standard treatment yet, according to the PSEM.
In a statement released on August 18, the PSEM said that stem cell therapy is still unproven to normalize blood sugars, nor at least decrease the necessary number of anti-diabetic medications.
