My oldest son is in his early 20's and he has type 1 diabetes. But thank God for this piece of article kzfaq.infoUgkxVYhghKWmrUgXARZ_ydZTvmmcrw5L0I5i At first he thought he had the flu and was lying down on the bed for three days until his sister took him to the hospital. They took his blood and it was 600. What I do not understand is how he could have gotten it, since no one in the family has it. But he is winning the battle now. This is good stuff.

38 years old, type 1 diabetic for 22 years. There was talk of a cure back when I was diagnosed. I’m always happy to see progress, but I’ll believe it when I’m cured.

I pray one day to see not only my son but many that suffer from this Disease to lives normal life again. 🙏🏼Cured

"5 years away from a cure" is a phrase I’ve heard for nearly 26 years. Fortunately I have been able to reign in my hopes and expectations, but for a long time I just didn’t take care of my t1d because I was sure the cure was coming along soon enough. All of this is exciting, but if you’re new to following diabetes cure news, please consider this quote from the video: "you have to be healthy when cures arrive." Think of each scientific breakthrough as another incentive to strive for even tighter control of your BGLs, another reason to stay healthy so that you can, eventually, enjoy your diabetes-free body in full health.

My wife of our 44 year marriage developed T1D when I first met her at the age of seventeen. She was determined to not let it interfere with her life nor let it be public knowledge and kept it in her background with great effort involving regular Dailey testing and multiple daily injections. She found pumps to indiscriminate and uncomfortable and kept using injection with ever changing mixes of long and short insulins depending on her physical demands and variations. She is currently using remote blood testing that transmits to her phone giving signals when parameters are breached keeping tight blood sugar control with little effort. Now in her sixties she has no side effects from the disease and continues to live and do the things she wants when she wants. She is now a mother of three and grandmother of seven

As a T1D for 70 yrs I find the potential for a cure or “near cure” encouraging. I have been told since I was a young teen “that a cure was around the corner so take good care of yourself”. I’m still waiting !!!!!!

I am so happy to hear that there is progress on this, my father got type 1diabetes when he was 9 years old, he just passed away today from it and I want to make sure that type 1 diabetes won’t do this to anyone else in my family or out

66 years old, Type 1 for 33 years. Still ZERO complications, but I'm reminded with every injection and every glucose test of my situation. To get back to pre-33 years old would be great. Damned auto-immune response to any cell replacement seems to be the bugaboo...

44 years old, type 1 dia. For 31 years and currently suffering from complications to my eyes, kidneys, feet and my brain as i can’t afford the existing technologies like CGM and insulin pump to keep things under control. I’m happy to see this massive breakthrough in finding the cure for this horrible disease (I call it the slow cancer) but I don’t think further progress will come to surface anytime soon as it means big companies producing medical equipment and medication for diabetes will face massive sudden income loss, and until they control whatever solution will come next to ensure money flow, they will not allow a full cure to come out now. Fingers crossed, I can peacefully die in the coming few years that left of my life knowing that next generations will not have to go through the suffering that all type 1 Dia. Patients went/are going through. God bless all those who worked on this amazing achievement and hopefully more to come in the future.

I’m 31 years old, and I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes less than 6 months ago. The 180 degree lifestyle change has been incredibly difficult, and it creates constant stress. It’s really encouraging to see treatments like this in development. I’m hopeful!

I have been a JVD for 35 years I would like to participate in research. I was 13 years old. I’m now 57 years old. I’m thurs for blessed. The information is extremely informative. Thank you for making a difference & saving lives

I hope this does work I was diagnosed 20 years ago at 11 years old & controlling them is a pain. My sugars used to always be elevated now my sugars just bottom. & I can’t even tell my sugar is low. Diabetes is extremely hard to deal with.

53 years old been T1 31 years. It takes up so much of my day / time to take care of myself.

My daughter was diagnosed type 1 when she was 7 she's 10 now ,I prey to god they come up with a cure

Thank you for the amazing research - Type 1 diabetic with Graves and Celiac diseases from New Zealand. I live in hope that one day I don't have to use insulin and a cure is found. Keep up the good work for our T1 Community

I wish my mom was alive to hear this. She had juvenile onset diabetes. I think she would have enjoyed the benefits of diabetic stem cell research. She was a recipient of new kidney and pancreas. But unfortunately she didn't take well to the transplant operation.

This is such a big problem with the world. I bet this new medicine will be sold at insane priced just like all the other companies and medicines.

I've had T1D for 63 years my brother T1D for 66 years and my sister T1D 62 years and have seen tremendous changes over all these years from glass syringes Yep regular insulin to Yup insulin and U100 insulin using disposable plastic syringes. Now I was the 1st patient my Endocrinologist asked if I would go on an insulin pump and I said Yes I'll be your very 1st patient to go on the insulin pump and that was 51 years ago. I've heard over & over again that there will be a cure for T1D. Hopefully this will happen. My Mother diagnosed all 3 of us and took us to the hospital. Thank Goodness for our Mother.

So amazing being able to be a part of this type of work would be amazing. You would be helping so many people.

as a type 1 diabetic i would do anything to get this treatment. tyoe 1 diabetes makes life 100% harder

As a type 1 diabetic cyborg, the fact that this is being reported by type 1 diabetics, gives it so much more value to me. We are exhausted by news reports for “Diabetes Cures” that are about the more common Type 2.

Cure for diabetes: *exists* Pharmaceutical industry: "I'm about to end this man's whole career"

Absolutely brilliant video. So well edited and produced. Clear and informative. I am so hopeful for a cure. I am approaching 40 years of type 1. I'm grateful to not have any serious diabetic complications so far, despite an A1C that is higher than I'd like. I give thanks for that to my mom's multiethnic side of our family, which has tremendous longevity and youthfulness. I have completely forgotten what and how it feels like to live without diabetes. I would love to have that reality again. To everyone working on a cure, thank you and God bless you!

God bless you. I was diagnosed type 1 diabetes since I was 27. I'm 55.

My mom passed away from diabetes complications, I wish I knew more about this before she passed away @ age 47. I pray that this disease is cured & our people can live happy, abundant lives!

Until everyone can get this treatment, CGM should be covered by insurance for every diabetic. I was told I was pre-diabetic but my insurance will not pay for CGM unless I am on insulin. I bought the CGM myself and by closely monitoring my sugar levels in real time, I have improved my A1C significantly enough to stay off of medication. Now I only use a CGM once every few months or so to make sure I am staying on track. So far so good. Information is power. Why insurance companies won’t pay to keep people off more expensive life altering drugs is beyond my comprehension.

When it comes to investing, diversification is the key, that's why I engage in sectors based on projected growth. There's no shortcut to getting rich but there are smart ways to go about it

I need this asap, I have a hard time keeping my blood sugar at a good range

I've had T1D for 58 years and have seen unbelievable changes in treatment. The first was home glucose monitoring in 1980, which changed everything. The second was reliable CGM several years ago. During all that time, beginning in 1963, a "cure" was 10 years away. I've come to see that as an empty promise, which I assume was stated to try and buck up Type 1 diabetics. At this point, I would definitely not take an immunosuppressive drug to reduce my insulin requirement by 92%. So, this may become a safe, viable therapy in time, but not in my lifetime. CGM keeps my A1c at 6.1, which is good enough for me.

I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes super late (almost 30 years old. I actually hear this is becoming more common). My blood sugars were relatively normal until summer of 2018 (I was 28). I started to feel so sick and lethargic. I lost 20 pounds without trying over the course of 1-2 months and knew something was seriously wrong. I had blood work done at a clinic at my job and my A1C was 14.6. I ended up going to my doctor not long after and she ran more blood work and sent it to a lab to see if I really had type 1. Sure enough the markers were there and I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in November of 2018. It has been a rocky road but I’m staying positive and hoping for a cure one day. To my type 1 family, I love you and hope that one day soon we can make our own insulin again. ❤️

Great job done Dr Edos you are a life saver

This is a good video that offers hope to those with this disease. It is always nice to see progress within the medical profession. However, developing cures can be a long process involving many clinical trials. We might not be near the finish line, but at least we are out of the starting gate. It is always thanks to the many people who work tirelessly to bring about cures to the many diseases we have. Thank you.

Even if this is fake i cried just imagining the freedom 😭 please make this real.

I am a 60 year old with Type 1 diabetes which began 31 years ago(a flu virus attacked and shut down my pancreas at age 29). A friend sent me this story and I am beyond words of how hopeful I am to have this disease gone from my body. I plan to do everything I possibly can(with prayer and patience) to be a trial patient and looking forward to retirement without diabetes would be unspeakable. With tears streaming from my eyes, I say !!THANK YOU!! to every single person who is working to make this happen. Clifford Michael Coffaro.

Wonderful, glad to see their might be progress in this terrible disease. Thank you,❤

Very good balanced perspective on this vexing and complex topic.

This video almost made me cry. I almost lost both of my eyes behind medically induced diabetes. I went from enjoying ice cream to not being able to endure 2 table spoons of ice cream before my eyes would scream bloody mary. The pain is real; the memories are real. I totally understand why Shelton would have been reluctant to engage in eating what most of us eat. I had to give up almost everything pleasurable to eat and drink. I had an eviseration of my right eye about 9 years ago. I'm almost 50. I had to put down my career as a truck driver/heavy equipment operator. Diabetes can really throw you a curve ball. Best wishes to all in the fight ❤️ young and old.

i just hit my 10 year anninversary last week. I am now 20. I feel like this disease has stripped a part of my teen youth away especially since I spent half of it with social anxiety due to my diabetes. Im hopeful that a cure is coming within the next 10 years, so just hang on everyone. I also appreciate this is one of the few videos from a news source that actually displays diabetes properly, its not overly dramatic and its also not keeping little bits of information. The amount of information and explaining what how it is for T1D is just perfect

Good development and breakthrough. Qudos, what about type 2 cure? Please help!

My diabetes journey stretched over more than a decade, and it was an unending struggle that left me physically and emotionally drained. I scoured medical journals and experimented with countless remedies, hoping for a breakthrough. It was a taxing and dis

My grand daughter has type 1, and she has the injection before every meal, it is very painful to watch her go through it every day, she is only 7, she wasn't born with it. I hope & pray there will be a permanent cure, for this disease 🇿🇦🇿🇦

This is pretty stupid to ask the company that jacked up insulin prices, if they care about losing profit over curing Diabetes.

I think this doctor are specially people, your eyes are full to humanity... Thanks lovely you!

There's a lot more to being diabetic than people realize. I'm Type 2. I'm also autistic (only recently diagnosed, 41 now, was 38 when I was diagnosed,) have severe depression, hyptertension, anxiety, and a host of other problems. I had issues before I got diabetes, obviously. But after that all the symptoms of my other issues got dialed up to 11 along with a bunch of new symptoms. Maybe one or two would be manageable, but trying to monitor my mood, cook so I can eat healthier, do everything I need to do...I can't work any more and I can barely function. Before diabetes, I was functional, if just barely. It makes you tired all the time, it makes you in pain from the neuropathy, you have to jab yourself with needles multiple times a day....People really don't understand the severe impact diabetes has on your mental as well as physical health. And type 2 is possible to get genetically too. I have it, my father has it, my mother has it, my grandfather and grandmother have it, my brother has it. I'm the only one of those that is overweight (a legacy of the emotional problems caused by undiagnosed autism and other mental issues for so long--I sought refuge in food when I was young and then never got the weight to come off despite trying.)

My daughter is 7 and she diagnosed T1d on November our life is changed I couldn’t hold my tears since she diagnosed what a tough disease I ever seen??? It’s just heartbroken when I inject her 5 times a day 💔💔😢😢

I hate diabetes. Even with insulin i feel like i can’t eat anything. Always hungry always trying to ignore the hunger. .

My 11 year old son was diagnosed last July 2023. This would be absolutely amazing 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I have been a T1D for over 61 years this month. I was diagnosed and hospitalized on Valentines Day in 1961 at the age of 9 mos. I have been lucky and don’t have many of the complication issues due to excellent care over the years and most of the time it’s been serious hypos I have had that caused issues for me. But I also don’t want anti rejection drugs which could cause organ failure or cancer. When you find a way to do it without, I’ll be glad to be the next in line to try it.

my fear isn't that they will never find a cure.. its that they will find it and charge either exorbitant amounts of money for it or patent and shelve it and then hold onto the patent forever.

Hearing someone that sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger curing diabetes: "Put that cookie down: take the cure! Now eat that cookie NOW!" I can't help but smile.

My journey with diabetes was a marathon that spanned well over a decade. Each day was a struggle, and I experimented with various treatments, diets, and regimens, searching for that elusive cure. It was disheartening and exhausting. But then, a ray of hop

Wow this is from a year ago. Dont know how this got past me. I never knew we were on the verge of a cure for diabetes. This would save so many lives in my family. With the way they are talking I would have expected them to have something by now a year later. Be nice to hear an update on this groundbreaking tech.

I hope its real and it works the only problem is that diabetes is a muti million dollar business for lots of companies and i bet they will try to suppress this cure for profit gain.

T1D here. I’m 27 years old and I’ve have type 1 for 21 years. Let’s hope we get our answer ladies and gentlemen before any more of us have to die from complications or rationing insulin. 🙏🏽

Thanks for the amazing job they’re doing, God bless them, hopefully the treatment will be available in 10 years, cross your fingers 🤞🏻

I am in tears about this. It hurts. I mean really hurts. Because I know how these ppl feel. I pray that they win there lawsuit. Not just for Detroit but for other states in this country.😢

Am 21, I was diagnosed last year(2021,June) with type 1 diabetes, I pray daily they find a permanent cure, now I see the outcome of prayer. Imagine having injections 3-5 times a day , imagine pricking your finger 3times a day bleeding ,hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, for the rest of your life .

T1D with a LADA diagnosis at 57 and man I can only dream of the day we ALL get a cure! Stay strong folks and say your prayers!!

My son is 2 years old and was diagnosed with diabetes type 1 since he was 1 year old and it's been a stressful struggle that we had to deal with and I hope this could be really done

I pray this dream can truly come true so many kids and adults suffering so much ❤❤❤❤

I'm so happy for Brian and those who will be able to!

I'm glad she mentioned that even if you do everything the same way, everyday a diabetic can still have difficulties managing blood Glucose levels. No day is ever the same. Something that worked yesterday to keep Glucose levels in range might not work today or tomorrow. I'm not sure how hard a cure would be to make but I also think it's about money.

The pancreas is an organ of the digestive system and endocrine system of vertebrates. In humans, it is located in the abdomen, behind the stomach, and functions as a gland. The pancreas is a mixed or heterocrine gland, i.e. it has both an endocrine and a digestive exocrine function. 99% of the pancreas is exocrine and 1% is endocrine. As an endocrine gland, it functions mostly to regulate blood sugar levels, secreting the hormones insulin, glucagon, somatostatin and pancreatic polypeptide. As a part of the digestive system, it functions as an exocrine gland, secreting pancreatic juice into the duodenum through the pancreatic duct. This juice contains bicarbonate, which neutralizes acid entering the duodenum from the stomach; and digestive enzymes, which break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats in food entering the duodenum from the stomach. Inflammation of the pancreas is known as pancreatitis, with common causes including chronic alcohol use and gallstones. Because of its role in the regulation of blood sugar, the pancreas is also a key organ in diabetes mellitus. Pancreatic cancer can arise following chronic pancreatitis or due to other reasons, and carries a very poor prognosis, as it is often only identified after it has spread to other areas of the body. The word pancreas comes from the Greek πᾶν (pân, “all”) & κρέας (kréas, “flesh”). The function of the pancreas in diabetes has been known since at least 1889, with its role in insulin production identified in 1921.

I will always pray that God keep giving you more wisdom Dr Obaz, for your positive contributions towards the sick, God bless you always

I knew a young lady who was born T1D, and at 20 she was done managing it. She literally stopped taking insulin, went to hospice and died within 2 weeks. This happened in 2006. Saddening to say the least. I wonder if possible cures like this will give at least one person the hope not to give up

Keep up the good work. I was diagnosed type 1 diabetic at age 46.

I'd volunteer to do the trials..I'm type 1

I'm type 2, lot of information for our type, happy to see some more info for the type 1 people, good health to everyone!🙏

I've been T1D since 1984 & said back then that besides being cured of it, the next best thing would be to know what my sugar levels are at any time. I got a libre 2 cgm last year & it has made a massive difference. I do physical work which can cause sugar levels to drop fast. Now I know as I can easily check & if I'm too busy & they drop then it starts bleeping before they get to low. I live in England. Luckily in over 38 years no long term nasties have appeared. A cure would still be great, thanks.

sign me up 27 yrs old had type 1 since 13, it’s been really difficult as there was a lot of traumatic events going on at the same time, diabetics need to have better support!

I am so ready for this!

All this research is amazing and I dearly hope that a cure is around the corner for real this time. One thing though: as a type 1 diabetic for 20+ years, it bothers me if people say that one cannot eat sugar as a diabetic, which is simply false. While each case is highly individual, one can eat sugar just as a normal person can, as long as you know your body and how it will react, how much insulin you need for x amount of carbs etc. Other than that it’s just like with any other person: too much sugar isn’t healthy, obviously, again, just like with any other person.

After about 40 years of living with Diabetes type 1, some years ago I received a pancreas transplant, I haven't needed insulin since that day. It has been a great blessing I have heart problems and had lost kidney function so it's needless to say there was a high percentage chance I wouldn't be here now. Thank God for scientists.

It’s really hard sometimes,I have type 1. It’s good to here about a cure.

Great news ! I have also heard of patients reversing diabetes through diet alone.

It seems like a tough disease. Good luck to all who are living with it.

We need more media coverage like this of similar issues

This is so amazing ❤

this made me cry!

I have had Type 1 diabetes for 57 years. Although I have used an insulin pump for more than 20 years, I have a new pump that is a game-changer. No more night-time lows and my A1C is 5.5. For the first time in my life, I can sleep through the night, and I have never felt better. As for JDRF, they have been saying "in five years" for 50+ years. I have no faith in them. I hope a cure is found (without side effects), not for me, but for the children...

I'm 30 years a T1 and whilst treatments have improved hugely since those early years, it is still a hard condition to manage. Its true you can do the same things on different days and get different results. The internal dialogue is constant 'what am i doing now? What am i doing later? What if i exercise and what about after if i eat this or that..?' If i'm ever cured that will never leave me. People think its about not eating donuts etc., if only that were true. I have ran marathons and travelled the world and much more, however all needs planning and its difficult sometimes.

Would love to see a follow up! Until then we pray.

My 3 year old little girl has type 1, fingers and toes are crossed for a cure❤️

For type II, the cure is diet and lifestyle.

For your information, Brian Shelton died six months after being treated with VX-880

I can't thank you enough Doctor osaye for the excellent remedies you produced to your patients,as a unique gift of love

OMG, _everytime_ I’m traveling, there’s the building of the medication bag, and watching my levels when I’m not near all my backup glucose. I got T1D at age 36, and I kind of feel lucky to have picked it up after all my irresponsible years have passed me by. I’m more than happy to eat consistent food that I know exactly how it will affect my blood sugar. But that “always have a backup to save your life.” is pretty nuts. Respect to all my brothers and sisters out there that have had this way longer.

I've had type 1 diabetes for 18 yrs. Hopefully this could be the beginning to the end of this huge disease. ❤️

I have had type 1 diabetes since I was 2 years old back in january 1996 and as I grew up with it and don't remember a live without it I never missed a live without diabetes. But as I am seeing this video I never thought I would get so emotional for a cure as I am now

Thank you science! I look forward to this.

They should have mentioned that this was specifically for Type 1 diabetes IN THE TITLE.

As a T1D I cried listening to this, I really appreciate the journalism here - which I have to think is due to Erin understanding this issue intimately. I can see it on their face when they are interviewing the first patient treated with stem cells. We are right there with you!

I am type 1 due to a massive injection of Prednisone! After telling my doc, to never give me prednisone. He thought he knew more than I did. My glucose went to 770 within 3 hours! Been on insulin since that shot! I have been type 1 since that day! I weigh 132lb, and wear a pump. For 21 years! I would love to have a cure for this!

My keto diet and intermittent fasting pretty much eliminated my pre-diabetic condition.

I did six clinical trials for CGM's and I learned about how these companies have to jump thru many hoops to get the systems or drugs approved by the FDA. That is why R&D costs are so high. Also you need the guinea pigs (me) to allow them to use you as a test subject. For example I had an IV in my hand for 12 hours and the nurses would raise my BS and test my blood then lower my BS and test my blood. All the while I had two CGM's attached one blind and the other real. It was amazing to see the hoops that the staff had to jump thru on each blood draw. There were about 15 staff members per trail. Anyway I would sign up for the Vertex clinical trail if they offered it to me.

I HAD type 2 diabetes. NOW I don't . I "cured" myself by living a strict ketogenic lifestyle. My doctor said...take metformin forever(with it's side effects).....eat less...exercise every day and be prepared for my body to get kidney disease, heart disease and endless metabolic complications till I die. I did not accept this ignorance.... i read...listened..... and learned strict carb restriction was the answer. Today as a senior....I have found the fountain of youth. I no longer insult my body with carbohydrates(by minimizing them).

Very Informative

I had a friend in Calgary who about 20 years ago had a pancreas implant of beta cells into his defunct pancreas (like me he was a type 1 diabetic). He was doing really well for about a year and was relieved that he was having a "normal" life. It was the anti rejection drugs which did him in near the end of his life. After 40 years I am staying on insulin with the huge help of my cgm device.

I can still remember when my youngest son who is now 31 was first diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 20. came home from a mission trip with all the well known symptoms. the scary part was he was enrolled at a college some distance away and classes started a week from his diagnoses. I did have a talk with him about he could make this easy or hard and to take good care of himself. he found a dr and an endocrinologist and had regular appointments. he has done an amazing job taking care of himself. he now has his blood sugar levels on his phone and a pump.

I have had type 1 diabetes for 2 years and i really hoping that it can be cured
