Cell transplant offers hope to end dangerous blood sugar crashes

NCT ID NCT01630850

Summary

This study is testing the safety of transplanting insulin-producing cells into adults with severe, hard-to-control Type 1 diabetes. The goal is to help the body better manage blood sugar levels and reduce dangerous episodes of very low blood sugar. Researchers are giving cells from deceased donors to 20 participants to see if this can provide more stable control without needing insulin shots.
