In a groundbreaking advancement in September 2024, scientists successfully reversed Type 1 diabetes in a 25-year-old woman using islets derived from stem cells. This innovative treatment eliminated the need for insulin injections for over a year, with her blood glucose levels remaining stable. The breakthrough has reignited hope in the potential of stem cell therapy for diabetes, offering a regenerative approach to restore islet cell function—moving beyond symptom management to possibly achieving long-term remission in Type 1 diabetes patients.
