Any time I start seeing “cure” talk, I’m always a little wary (but hopeful) but the BBC news reported last month on an interesting study done by Dr. Terry Strom and others. Apparently Dr. Strom was able to add an enzyme to a drug cocktail created a year ago that not only stops the immune system from attacking an individuals insulin cells, but allows for the regeneration of those cells. So far, he’s only done it in mice but apparently they’re moving forward with human trials.
If nothing else, this should help other researches better understand how the disease works, which could lead to all sorts of things.
