Patient: 4 months ago, I got diabetes after acute pancreatitis, now I am taking insulin every day, 30R insulin 20 minutes before each meal, about 30-33 units per day, my blood sugar control is okay, recently during the medical checkup the doctor told me that diabetes like me can be treated with stem cell intervention for diabetes, I also asked several hospitals, some said it is particularly good, saying it can definitely be cured, some said I have asked several hospitals, but some of them said that it can be cured because my pancreas may be completely necrotic. I am only 30 years old now, I would like to ask you if this kind of stem cell intervention is feasible, what is the success rate, and do you encourage me to go for this procedure? Thank you! Reply: Stem cell transplantation for diabetes is still in clinical trials and has limited results. There are many specific methods of so-called stem cell transplantation, and there are several common ones: 1. Separate and purify the stem cells in the blood and inject them into the arteries of the pancreas using interventional methods. 2. Extracting stem cells from bone marrow and injecting them into the pancreas. 3.Use mesenchymal cell culture to differentiate and inject into the pancreas. At present, most hospitals use the first two methods for treatment, but the number of stem cells in these two methods is small and the treatment effect is poor. The third method is relatively better. But in general, diabetes is a disease that can be treated with drugs and the complications can be prevented, while stem cell transplantation can’t completely solve the problem, but only relieve the problem for a period of time or reduce the amount of drugs. Therefore, I do not encourage you to go for this treatment. If you do want to do it, we recommend that you come to our hospital for MSC stem cell transplantation.
