New Treatment May Cure Severe Type 1 Diabetes, Study Finds
For the 8.4 million people worldwide living with type 1 diabetes, every day is a careful balancing act with insulin—too little and organs suffer damage, too much and they risk coma or death.

In a small clinical trial, 10 out of 12 patients with severe type 1 diabetes were able to stop their insulin therapy entirely after receiving lab-grown pancreatic cells. While larger studies are still needed, this represents a potential turning point for a condition that has demanded unwavering vigilance from patients since childhood. Tessa Koumoundouros with Science Alert has the full story.
