"A 25-year-old woman in China is the first person worldwide to have type 1 diabetes reversed through stem cell therapy.

The therapy used the patient’s own cells to create personalized stem cells, which were then used to grow fresh insulin-producing islets.

This breakthrough offers hope for millions with diabetes, potentially eliminating the need for daily insulin injections and reducing complications.

In a groundbreaking medical achievement, a 25-year-old woman in Tianjin, China, has had her type 1 diabetes reversed through a novel stem cell therapy. This marks the first time such a feat has been accomplished globally, offering new hope for millions living with the chronic condition.

The patient, who had been struggling with type 1 diabetes, underwent a pioneering treatment that involved converting her own cells into personalized stem cells. These stem cells were then used to grow fresh clusters of ‘islets,’ the hormone-producing cells in the pancreas responsible for regulating blood sugar levels.

As Nature reports, this therapy’s unique approach of transplanting the newly created islets into the patient’s upper abdomen near her pancreas sets it apart from previous islet transplant methods. This strategic placement allows for easier monitoring via MRI, a significant advantage over traditional liver transplants.

“I can eat sugar now,” the woman said on a call with Nature. After over a year since the transplant, she says, “I enjoy eating everything — especially hotpot.” The woman asked to remain anonymous for privacy reasons.

Experts are astonished at the results, according to Timesnownews. “They’ve completely reversed diabetes in the patient, who was requiring substantial amounts of insulin beforehand,” said Dr. James Shapiro, a transplant surgeon and researcher at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada.

The implications of this breakthrough are far-reaching, as it could potentially revolutionize the way we treat diabetes. By using a patient’s own cells to create personalized stem cells, this therapy bypasses the limitations of donor islet shortages and the need for immunosuppressive drugs, which have hindered the success of conventional transplant methods.

‘If this is applicable to other patients, it’s going to be wonderful,’ diabetes researcher Daisuke Yabe of Japan’s Kyoto University told reporters via Daily Mail.

As the world watches closely, the success of this case sparks hope for the millions of individuals living with type 1 diabetes. It represents a significant step forward in regenerative medicine and paves the way for further research and development in the field."

Now that it's Disability Pride Month, anyone who makes obnoxious diabetes jokes along the lines of "diabetes in a cup" or similar jokes personally owes me at least $10 okay thank you much love ^_^

Same goes for the people who immediately tell me about how much they would hate their life if they had to inject themselves with needles everyday like I do after I tell them I'm diabetic, your comment is not helpful or insightful! :3

Oh and people who ask me for the in depth medical definition on type 1 diabetes owe AT LEAST $30, I'm not your personal medical dictionary

[sprinkleofquirk]

I’m so tired of being honest about my pain level and having no one believe me because I don’t show pain the way they expect

[petzu555]

This is insane, this is from the same lab that reversed a man’s type 2 diabetes, and now they have one woman whose type 1 diabetes has been “reversed” , aka insulin independent, for over a year now

“…the woman had stopped experiencing the dangerous spikes and drops in blood glucose levels, which remained within a target range for more than 98% of the day”

Obviously this is only one person, but this is INCREDIBLE news for the diabetic community

[lesbiansandco]

“you can’t let x control your life” if it didn’t i would die. if i slack off a bit or become careless (even by accident!) it would hurt or kill me. true, i can’t do everything you and others can. and it sucks. but if i want to stay safe, then x has to control my life. i’m not sorry.

[anderswasrightt]

PLEASE STOP STOP STOP SPREADING THIS IMAGE WITHOUT CONTEXT.

these insulins are Regular and NPH insulin, NOT fast-acting like Humalog or Novolog and long-acting like Lantus and Basaglar. If you don’t use these properly, you can still die or end up hospitalized.

if you attempt to switch to R insulin on your own, YOU MAY VERY WELL DIE. they DO NOT work the same way as fast-acting insulins. You need to consult with a doctor ideally, or if you can't do that, RESEARCH THE SHIT OUT OF THESE INSULINS AND THEIR EFFECTS.

I took R insulin for several years as a very small child before fast-acting insulin was created, and the way you eat is STRICTLY regimented. you can’t just shoot some R insulin and go ahead and eat like you can with humalog. my blood sugar levels were frequently anywhere between 40 and 300 (normal is 100-120 for a diabetic) on R and NPH, which is dangerous and causes long-term damage

here is a tragic story of a man who switched to relion R insulin and died because of it: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/08/09/man-dies-otc-insulin/1942908001/ – from 2019

The fact that diabetics are having to use 30+ year-old insulin because we can’t afford modern insulin is a fucking travesty.

These insulins are not miracle alternatives; they're a last resort.

Every diabetic who dies because of insulin rationing or because they had to switch to R and NPH insulin is blood on the hands of pharmaceutical execs and the government.

Totally different than my regular posts but fuck u

(TW/ suicidal tendencies, chronic illness, vent)

No one understands type1 diabetes unless you actually have it, I was in the hospital (one time of many) for intentionally putting myself into DKA so that I could lose weight and then die (I’d look so hot in my casket) so the hospital called the crisis guy like how they normally would for an attempt,

but because it was a matter of me just giving up on having to CONSTANTLY monitor and be hyper vigilant of my body (WHICH REGULAR PEOPLE DONT HAVE TO DO) they were kinda clueless on how to effectively help me.

Normally when someone “gives up” it’s on their basic needs like eating, self care and shit like that but for me it was just stopping putting needles in myself, doing math to be able to eat and stabbing the tips of my fingers 20 times a day

I was exhausted, my life is basically being a 24 hour nurse for myself.

Plus I’m fat so having diabetes just means everyone blames my illness on myself, which isn’t how type 1 diabetes works! I didn’t do anything, I never drank soda, I rarely ate sugar but that’s how the general public thinks how people get diabetes! When actually my pancreas is just a little BITCH WHO CANT FIGHT BACK AT MY AMMUNE SYSTEM!

This crisis guy came into my hospital room and started giving a lecture on TYPE 2 DIABETES! I AM TYPE 1 THEY ARE VERY DIFFERENT! And even his lecture on type 2 was bullshit!

His man looks me in my eyes and says “if you wanna be happy lose weight by eating healthy and exercising. Your never going to be normal so stop acting like you are.”

…I am also autistic so I’ve struggled with feeling like a foreign creature, unhuman my whole life.

This man just reinforced every. Single. Reason. Why I wanted to kill myself.

And honestly after he said that I started sobbing. He left the room without guilt and said I was free to discharge.

Hearing that I fully started to laugh my ass off at the absurdity of the situation, this man WHOS JOB IS TO STOP ME FROM KILLING MYSELF just signed my death certificate.

I didn’t end up killing myself purely because… FUCK THAT GUY IM GONNA BE FAT AND HATE MYSELF AND BE THE MOST NORMAL PERSON EVER! HE CAN GO EAT A DICK!

Anywayyyyy hideduo is so cute!

"People living with diabetes might have a new hope. Scientists have tested a new drug therapy in diabetic mice, and found that it boosted insulin-producing cells by 700% over three months, effectively reversing their disease.

Beta cells in the pancreas have the important job of producing insulin in response to blood sugar levels, but a hallmark of diabetes is that these cells are either destroyed or can’t produce enough insulin. The most common treatment is regular injections of insulin to manage blood sugar levels.

But a recent avenue of research has involved restoring the function of these beta cells. In some cases that’s started with stem cells being coaxed into new beta cells, which are then transplanted into patients with diabetes. Researchers behind this kind of work have described it as a “functional diabetes cure.”

Now, scientists at Mount Sinai and City of Hope have demonstrated a new breakthrough. Previous studies have mostly involved growing new beta cells in a lab dish, then transplanting them into mice or a small device in humans. But this new study has been able to grow the insulin-producing cells right there in the body, in a matter of months.

The therapy involved a combination of two drugs: one is harmine, a natural molecule found in certain plants, which works to inhibit an enzyme called DYRK1A found in beta cells. The second is a GLP1 receptor agonist. The latter is a class of diabetes drug that includes Ozempic, which is gaining attention lately for its side effect of weight loss.

The researchers tested the therapy in mouse models of type 1 and 2 diabetes. First they implanted a small amount of human beta cells into the mice, then treated them with harmine and GLP1 receptor agonists. Sure enough, the beta cells increased in number by 700% within three months of the treatment. The signs of the disease quickly reversed, and stayed that way even a month after stopping the treatment.

“This is the first time scientists have developed a drug treatment that is proven to increase adult human beta cell numbers in vivo,” said Dr. Adolfo Garcia-Ocaña, corresponding author of the study. “This research brings hope for the use of future regenerative therapies to potentially treat the hundreds of millions of people with diabetes.”

The results are intriguing, but of course being an animal study means there’s still much more work to be done before it could find clinical use. So far, harmine alone has recently undergone a phase 1 clinical trial in humans to test its safety and tolerability, while other DYRK1A inhibitors are planned for trials in humans next year.

Perhaps most importantly, the team will soon experiment with combining beta-cell-regenerating drugs with others that modulate the immune system. Ideally this should help overcome a major hurdle: the immune system will continue attacking new beta cells as they’re produced.

The research was published in the journal Science Translational Medicine."

How Does Coconut Water Affect Blood Sugar?

Coconut water has been a popular drink for ages, especially in tropical regions. It's known for its refreshing taste and hydrating properties. But how does it affect blood sugar levels? Let’s dive in!

What is Coconut Water?

Coconut water is the clear liquid found inside young coconuts. It's packed with nutrients, including potassium, magnesium, and some natural sugars. Imagine it as nature’s sports drink! But just how sweet is it? The natural sugars give it a mild sweetness, but it’s not as sugary as soda or many fruit juices.

Can Coconut Water Raise Blood Sugar Levels?

When it comes to blood sugar, many people wonder if coconut water can take them on a rollercoaster ride. The answer? Not exactly! Coconut water does contain sugar, but it’s in a much lower concentration than many other beverages. If you’re keeping an eye on your blood sugar, you’ll want to remember that moderation is key.

The Glycemic Index Factor

The glycemic index (GI) shows how quickly a food can raise your blood sugar. Foods with a high GI can cause spikes, while those with a low GI won’t have the same effect. Coconut water generally falls on the lower end of the GI scale. This means it’s less likely to send your blood sugar soaring like a kite in a thunderstorm.

Nutrients That Help Manage Blood Sugar

Coconut water isn't just about sugar. It’s also loaded with nutrients that could help maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

Potassium

Potassium is essential for heart health and keeps your blood pressure in check. A balanced blood pressure can play a role in maintaining stable blood sugar levels. Think of potassium as a friend helping maintain your body's rhythm.

Magnesium

Magnesium helps your body use insulin better and can improve your blood sugar control. So, coconut water's magnesium content can play a supportive role. It’s like having a solid buddy who always has your back!

Coconut Water vs. Other Drinks

When choosing a beverage, coconut water stands out from sugary sodas and sweetened juices. Those drinks can spike your blood sugar and leave you feeling drained afterwards. Coconut water, on the other hand, hydrates you without causing that wild sugar rush. It’s like choosing a calm lake over a wild river when you’re looking to relax.

How to Enjoy Coconut Water

Here’s where the fun begins! You can enjoy coconut water straight from the coconut or buy it bottled. Just keep an eye on labels. Some bottled versions add extra sugar. If you’re watching your blood sugar, opt for the all-natural, no-added-sugar kind.

A Refreshing Conclusion

Coconut water can be a tasty addition to your diet, especially if you're watching your blood sugar. While it does contain some natural sugars, its low glycemic index and nutrient profile make it a better choice than many sugary drinks. So, next time you’re looking for a refreshing drink, think about reaching for coconut water — your body might just thank you!

Following through with plans I made when I was more able bodied this summer by going to the yearly concert I usually go to felt nice because I was able to do it

But also I was only barely able to do it. Trying to work around my energy levels is a genuine and legitimate challenge every day now and I don't know for sure if it'll get better. Like I presume it will since it's a side effect of my new medication but man things have been super hard the last couple months

Assistant: I'll need your pump to run your numbers and settings.

My mom and I: Only the meter has the numbers. The pump isn't connected to a CGM.

The assistant: Not a problem. We just need the pump.
