Diabetes Treatment Using Functional Beta Insulin Cells and Stem Cells
If you or a family member have diabetes, it’s important to know how it affects your body and mind.Diabetes is often called the “silent killer” because it harms the body slowly and quietly, without obvious signs. Newly diagnosed diabetic patients usually don’t worry much because their symptoms are often just frequent urination and increased thirst. Some people don’t have any symptoms at all.
About Hyperglycemia
Over time, both types of diabetes get worse and can lead to death. These problems include heart disease, eye problems, kidney failure, nerve damage, and trouble with erections, to name a few. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) are the main problems caused by diabetes. Recent research shows that some diabetes pills can also cause heart problems. That’s why it’s important for men and women diagnosed with diabetes to get treatment right away for low and high blood sugar. These conditions often lead to more serious and damaging diseases. Stem Cell Care India offers a new treatment for diabetes using enriched and expanded mesenchymal cells. This treatment is safe and does not require artificial medicines or regular insulin injections.
Damage to Beta-Cells that Produce Insulin
Stem cell treatments and functional medicine aim to tackle diabetes at its root in the pancreas. They work to lower high blood sugar levels and prevent related problems.
Recent research shows that smelling lavender can help when someone has low blood sugar, which can be dangerous if not treated right away. Diabetes is a health problem where your blood sugar levels go up because your body either can’t make enough insulin or the insulin your body makes doesn’t work well. High blood sugar causes frequent urination, excessive thirst, and increased hunger. In severe cases, it can also be linked to pancreatic cancer, pancreatitis, or lupus disease.
What Are the Types of Diabetes Mellitus?
There are 3 types of diabetes mellitus which can be found on an individual. Below we mentioned brief information about all the types:
- Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes happens when your body can’t make insulin. People with this type of diabetes need to inject insulin to stay healthy. Stem cell therapy is a treatment that might help people with a type of diabetes called insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), also known as juvenile diabetes. This therapy aims to stop the body’s own immune system from mistakenly attacking and destroying the cells in the pancreas that make insulin, which is needed to control blood sugar levels. When someone has Type 1 diabetes, they might feel thirsty all the time (polydipsia), need to pee a lot (polyuria), feel really hungry all the time (polyphagia), lose weight without trying, have a dry mouth, feel tired a lot.
Type 1 diabetes happens when the beta cells in the pancreas are destroyed. If blood sugar levels aren’t controlled well, it can lead to other problems like heart disease, Hashimoto’s disease, eye problems, muscle issues, nerve damage, and kidney disease. Women with type 1 diabetes are in more danger than men. They have a 42% higher chance of dying from it. On average, men with type 1 diabetes live less than 11 years after diagnosis, while women live less than 13 years.
- Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes happens when cells don’t use insulin properly. Sometimes, there’s not enough insulin, so people might need insulin pumps. Type 2 diabetes is something you can get later in life, but if you find out about it soon, it can be treated well at the SCCI. Diabetes can cause serious problems in the long run. Some of these include:
- Acute transverse myelitis, which affects the spinal cord.
- Retinopathy, leading to vision loss.
- Diabetic nephropathy, which can cause kidney failure.
- Peripheral neuropathy, causing foot ulcers and possibly amputations or Charcot joints.
- Autonomic neuropathy, resulting in issues with the urinary system, digestion, heart, and sexual function.
People with diabetes often have more problems like peripheral arterial disease (PAD), heart disease caused by atherosclerosis, and issues with blood vessels in the brain. Other problems include high blood pressure and serious issues with how the body handles fats in the blood. Some patients may also have trouble with their body making insulin because of the medications they take. These medicines don’t make diabetes happen, but they might make it harder for the body to use insulin properly.
Gestational Diabetes is when pregnant women, who never had diabetes before, have high sugar levels in their blood during pregnancy. It could lead to developing type 2 diabetes later on.
- MODY, maturity-onset diabetes (young)
- HNF, hepatocyte nuclear factor
- IGT impaired glucose tolerance
- GDM, gestational diabetes
- FPG, fasting plasma glucose
- GCT, a glucose challenge test
- IFG, impaired fasting glucose
- GAD, glutamic acid decarboxylase
How to Prevent Diabetes?
Right now, doctors are still testing DNA editing to see if it can help with type 1 diabetes. This means we can’t stop it from happening yet. But we can use DNA tests to find out if someone might get it early on. Knowing what things might cause harm and what can make it worse can help keep the cells that make insulin safe for longer. Certain things can make diabetes type 2 happen faster. It is easy to see that the things you do every day affect you the most. These lifestyle choices mean eating a lot of junk food or not moving around much. Studies from all over the world have shown that if you exercise more and eat healthier foods, you can avoid getting type 2 diabetes.
Stem Cell Care India’s Healthy Dietary Guidelines
Maintaining a healthy diet is essential to minimize the symptoms of diabetes. That’s why SCCI offers you a healthy diet plan. You can personalize the dietary chart according to your needs as well:
- Make sure you eat two to three servings of veggies every day, including leafy greens.
- Pick water, tea, or coffee instead of fruit juices, sodas, or other sugary drinks.
- Use whole grains like brown bread, brown rice, or whole wheat pasta instead of white bread, white rice, or regular pasta.
- Pick peanut butter made from nuts instead of spreads with chocolate or jam.
- Choose white meat, seafood, or poultry over red or processed meat for a healthier option.
- Snack on nuts, fresh fruit, or plain yogurt.
- Stop smoking and only have one alcoholic drink per day at most.
- Eating three portions of fresh fruit each day.
In many rich countries, people often sit for a long time, eat unhealthy food, and don’t move much. Stem Cell Care India suggests exercising often to stop diabetes. They say you should do at least 15-30 minutes of physical activity each time. It is really important to look at the whole picture when trying to prevent type 2 diabetes and the serious problems it can cause.
Making healthy changes when you’re young might be simpler, but living healthier can quickly make life better, even as you get older.
Diabetes Stem Cell Treatment
MSC+ Beta Stem Cells
Right now, it is highly unlikely that we’ll find cures for Type 1 diabetes or gestational diabetes. There is a part in our genes that’s linked to the illness. To fix it, we need gene therapy, which changes the cells so they don’t go back to being sick. Right now, this treatment is being tested in trials, but it’s not allowed for regular use yet.
Recent research has found that some people with myasthenia gravis (MG) also had type 2 diabetes before they developed MG. This suggests that having a history of type 2 diabetes might be linked to getting diagnosed with myasthenia gravis later on. If doctors find type 2 diabetes early, it is usually something they can treat and reverse before it harms the immune system and other parts of the body. Many times, people with diabetes don’t pay much attention to their illness. Instead, they use common diabetes pills like Metformin, Thiazolidinediones, DPP-4 inhibitors, or Meglitinides, change their diet, or take insulin regularly to control their blood sugar levels. If you don’t treat metabolic diseases, they can cause more problems. These problems can include:
- SpA Spondyloarthritides Disorders
- Kidney Failure (Nephropathy) and PKD
- Foot Complications / Ulcers
- High Blood Pressure & Hypertension ( leads to heart disease, eye problems )
- Damage to insulin producing cells requiring insulin pumps
- Ketones & DKA (Ketoacidosis)
- Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
- Osteoarthritis and Gout
- HHNS – Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic Nonketotic Syndrome
- Pancreas Cancer
- Gastroparesis
- Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease – IBD
- Brain Strokes
Utilizing Functional Beta Cell Transplants to Treat Diabetes
The types and amounts of cells needed vary based on what a patient requires for their health. For diabetics, doctors often use a combination of MSC+ cells (which are isolated and grown), along with ductal epithelial cells, β-cells, and cells that are like those found in the pancreas. Patients who are older or have serious health issues and more than one medical condition may need special stem cells from umbilical cord tissue. These stem cells have been changed into cells that can sense glucose levels and make insulin.
2024 Guidelines of Stem Cell Treatment for Diabetes
The amount of stem cell treatments a patient gets depends on what they need. They will usually get a mix of different kinds of stem cells, like MSC (Mesenchymal Stem Cells), cells that can become pancreatic cells, and beta cells from the pancreas that make insulin.
Injection Types: Pancreatic cells turned into two types: beta cells and early cells. These cells are given to the patient through an IV drip or a series of shots in the spine.
Rehabilitation Treatment: We offer therapy sessions that last 2 hours each day, 5 days a week. If needed, we can also arrange medical visas and accommodations for a longer stay, with extra charges. The treatment typically lasts for 2 to 3 days.
Utilizing Stem Cells to Treat T1DM and T2DM
The cost of treating diabetes with MSC+ cells depends on several factors, such as the patient’s current health and any other medical conditions they may have. To be better prepared, our medical team needs to review patients’ important medical information, any genetic tests for diabetes risk variants, and recent blood test results. Once approved, you will get a customized treatment plan that includes all medical costs, such as stem cell extraction. Stem cell therapy for diabetes success rates vary depending on the stage and severity of the disease. To learn more about treating diabetes with adult stem cells, please contact us today.
