Diabetes Disease Treatment.
Diabetes is a condition in which the body cannot regulate or properly use sugar (called glucose) in the blood. In diabetes, blood sugar is elevated either because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin (type 1 diabetes) or because or cells in the body fail to respond to the insulin that is released (type 2 diabetes).
Every person we treat is unique. Correct evaluation and diagnosis by our doctors ensures that the treatment methods they recommend will specifically suit you. Carefully chosen methods pave the way to our goal: your healthy and successful relief.

Stem Cells
and Diabetes Disease
Stem cells are being used for ongoing research to help us explore the intricate ways in which our bodies process sugar and answer some important questions about the root causes of diabetes. Recently, there has been great progress in generating beta cells from embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Laboratory studies help us better understand disease progression, what the potential genetic causes may be, and similarities and differences between patients.
We always recommend a personal consultation. The advantage is that the treatment process is quicker and you get the personal supervision of a doctor as well.
Stem Cell Studies
For type 1 diabetes, there are a number of experimental approaches being taken to curb the immune system’s attack on the beta cells. Most of these are still being explored in the lab. There are some clinical trials underway to test whether blood stem cells or mesenchymal stem cells from the bone marrow might alter or re-set the immune system so that it no longer attacks the beta cells. However, the mechanisms underlying how this use of these cells would work are not well understood, and further research is needed to establish whether any of these approaches will prove safe and effective.
