MELTON: The first major change in the treatment of Type 1 diabetes was probably the discovery of insulin in 1920. Now it's 100 years later and if this works, it's going to change the medical treatment for people with diabetes. Instead of injecting insulin, patients will get cells that will be their own insulin factories.
FDA Approves Lantidra, the First Ever Cell Therapy for Type 1 Diabetes
The FDA has approved Lantidra (donislecel), a revolutionary treatment for people living with type 1 diabetes. Lantidra works by restoring the body's beta cells, potentially eliminating the need for external insulin. Lantidra (donislecel), a cell therapy that helps to restore functional pancreatic islet cells in patients unable to produce ...

New Type 1 Diabetes Treatment Eliminates Need for Insulin
The recommended minimum dose is 5,000 equivalent islet number (EIN) per kg for the first infusion, and 4,500 EIN/kg for subsequent infusions, the drugmaker said. The drug is currently only recommended for people who experience recurrent and severe hypoglycemia or have hypoglycemia unawareness. It is not for all people with type 1 diabetes, or ...

Recent Advances
Identification of a new player in type 1 diabetes risk. Type 1 diabetes is caused by an autoimmune attack of insulin-producing beta-cells. While genetics and the environment are known to play important roles, the underlying factors explaining why the immune system mistakenly recognize beta-cells as foreign is not known.
Research shows promise to restore beta cells and offer type 1 diabetes
Tests showed that newly transformed beta cells were able to release insulin in response to sugar, just like real beta cells would. Although more research is now needed, the findings suggest that insulin production could one day be restored in people with type 1 diabetes by helping the pancreas to generate new beta cells.
