Currently, there are no FDA-approved stem cell treatments for type 1 diabetes. Any claims about success rates from unapproved providers should be viewed with extreme caution. The only way to access legitimate stem cell treatments for type 1 diabetes is through properly regulated clinical trials with oversight from medical professionals. While some promising research is being conducted using regulated stem cell therapies, these are being studied through proper clinical trials. One myT1Dteam member who participated in a legitimate clinical trial reported positive results with reduced insulin needs, but individual results vary significantly. Of note, in one recent study, only 3 out of 10 participants showed improvements in blood sugar control. For your safety, any stem cell treatment should only be pursued through your doctor or endocrinologist who can refer you to legitimate clinical trials. Unregulated treatments can be dangerous and potentially harmful.
