Type 2, since the article doesn't say.

Yeah but the person "cured" had type 2.

There might be applications for type 1, but that's speculation.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

The articles suggest that it may be beneficial for Type 1, but that's unconfirmed. The nature of early-stage clinical trials is that people don't really know how things will work. That's the point of the trials.

Important to know. Reading on how it works on the article, I wonder if it could be used for type 1, likely in combination with some kind of drug therapy to prevent the body from just killing the new islet cells.

Isn't type 2 the one that effects massively more people?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Iirc type 2 is acquired diabetes, type 1 is the one you get from birth, so yes.

A lot of people actually don't get diabetes type 1 when they are born but later in life

It’s adult onset diabetes, just means it didn’t appear during childhood. A lot of people think type 2 is “fat American diet” diabetes but for many of us it’s a genetic condition and typically manifests in the mid 30s regardless of diet. You don’t necessarily become insulin dependent immediately but it’s likely you will progress there
