  • So Chinese Dr's have been adding stem cells to type 1 and 2 diabetic patients to reverse diabetes would you go to china to do this knowing that there might be backlash later on from doing the stem cell or would you be to paranoid to do it because of the complications that might come with it and maybe worse things that can happen to you from doing it

    Cant you put type 2 diabetes in remission?

    Yes but i wouldnt call it a sure shot for everyone, at least with the way that i'm thinking of.

    A lot of people who were pre-diabetic or dx type 2 and later elected to have gastric sleeve surgery (or a similar op) for weight loss reasons suddenly noticed a drastic decrease in their need for T2DM management. In some cases, providers unprescribe patients T2DM medications and stop treating them for it — not explicitly labeling them as "cured", cause that will get offices sued in a heartbeat, but the implication is still there based on discontinuing treatment.

    I know two people in my family (one from extended and one from marriage) who went from average weight to obese quite fast over several years, middle aged, and diagnosed T2DM. Both got gastric sleeves a few years later and lost like 120lbs (i think one of them lost even more). About 6-8 months post-op, both of their doctors told them they no longer needed to take Metformin or their other supplement scripts because there were no longer symptoms for those meds to manage.

    Obvs not everyone who is T2DM can/should go out and get a relatively risky surgery that requires a strict post-op nutrition guide because it's "the cure". There are different factors when it comes to cause, and everyone's bodies are different. But it's nice that some people have gotten that op to lose a ton of weight, unknowingly erasing their T2DM afterwards as a side effect. The drastic and fast weight loss probably acts like a soft reboot for systems in some people's bodies.

    I still know multiple other T2 people who are taking 8-10 pills of different meds every day, all relating to diabetic treatment in someway, including meds to offset the side effects of other T2 meds
