Did China cure diabetes?
Approved answer
Breakthrough in Type 2 Diabetes Treatment
Researchers in China successfully treated type 2 diabetes through islet cell transplantation at Shanghai Changzheng Hospital. In July 2021, a 59-year-old patient experienced a transformation from blood cells to islet cells, resulting in the cessation of diabetes.
