Re: was Request for helpful info, now cures

Oh, right...pancreatic cell transplants have been done on a small number of

people in Canada recently. (It is referred to as the " Edmondton Protocol " ).

It is strictly experimental but they are extending the scope and I believe

they're going to try it at a couple of other medical centers worldwide.

There was a cover story on it in last month's Diabetes Interview. Very

interesting. But that's quite a different thing from the " cure " in Malasia.

<< Hi all,

I watched a program on tv last week and they spoke of a cure for

diabetes, a pancreas transplant. Several have been done successfully

(according to the show). I cannot tell you anything more on the

subject, just that they interviewed the dr. and one patient who had a

successful transplant. She was a type 1 brittle diabetic in her mid

30's.

You're right, of course, Jacky. I forgot about that one, as it such a

faraway dream kind of thing.

I know, that is what I thought when I watched it. The women they

interviewed was so brittle that she would drop low and into coma state

regularly. The transplant gave her a life.

True, but it's a cure for type I diabetics only. The down-side is that

they will have to take anti-rejection drugs for life. And that's if

their body's immune system doesn't attack the new pancreas and/or beta

cells anyway.

I really like the way the media is calling it " a cure for diabetes " as if

it cures both types of diabetes. It will not help type II's insulin

resistance or cure our insulin response problems. Still no hint or

promise of a cure for type IIs.
