BBC reporting on the latest news from Japanese medicine: Cell transplants leading to natural production of insulin for a diabetes patient.
I never really got to realize fully what diabetes means to someone with it until I started hanging out with my friend Dalyn. She had (still has) to check her blood sugar I believe thrice daily and needed a daily insulin shot, sometimes more. And she was always being conscious about the foods going into her system. It's like being a vegitarian except you have a little digital vampire to help you along the way.
But yay. Medical procedure exists that can cure diabetes completely? This is most definately good news.
