Stem Cell Therapy for Diabetes (Type-2)
According to the CDC, nearly 10% of the U.S. population is estimated to be living with diabetes or prediabetes, which are diseases that cause irregular blood sugar levels in an individual’s body.
Blood sugar, medically known as glucose, is an essential component that provides energy to the body’s cells, which help vital organs and tissues to function. Failure to manage these glucose levels can result in a number of serious health conditions.
Type 2 Diabetes
Only about 5% of all diabetics have type 1 diabetes, the rest fall into the much larger category of type 2 diabetes. With this particular disease, the pancreas will first attempt to flood the body with extra insulin in order to balance out its blood glucose levels. Your cells will then begin to become desensitized to these high levels of insulin, and will become resistant towards this hormone.
If corrections are not made during the early stage (prediabetes), then the pancreas will be unable to continually increase its insulin production, and type 2 diabetes will eventually develop.
Symptoms of Diabetes
All forms of diabetes will present signs and symptoms that are similar to one another. Such symptoms include:
- Extreme tiredness
- Unexplained weight loss or gain
- Increased urge to urinate
- Irritability
- Frequent infections and/or slow-healing wounds
- Increased thirst
- Changes in appetite
- Blurred vision
It is also entirely possible, especially for prediabetics and those with type 1 diabetes, to not present any noticeable symptoms at all. Eventually the disease will progress to a point where more severe symptoms begin to appear, but the best solution for individuals and their health is to treat their condition as soon as they notice any abnormalities.
How Stem Cell Therapy Can Help
MSC stem cell (mesenchymal stem cells) therapy is being used as an innovative treatment for diabetes by addressing the underlying problem of insulin deficiency and pancreatic dysfunction. MSC stem cells have the potential to develop into insulin-producing beta cells, which can help regulate blood sugar levels more effectively. Additionally, MSC stem cell therapy can support the repair of damaged pancreatic tissue and reduce inflammation, improving overall metabolic function. For people with diabetes, this approach could lessen dependence on insulin injections and reduce the risk of complications over time. While research is still ongoing, early studies show that MSC stem cell therapy holds great promise in transforming diabetes care and improving quality of life.
