Stem Cell Therapy for Diabetes A Sweet Solution

 A study from 2021 found that India was the second-largest number of adults aged between 20 to 79 suffering from diabetes. The study estimates that 1 out of 11 Indians suffers from diabetes.

That's a worrying data, isn't that?

Diabetes has been a difficult and relentless illness. For people who are diagnosed with diabetes, regulating blood sugar levels is an everyday task, usually that includes the requirement to inject insulin, medication as well as strict dietary management. Recent years have seen the development of stem cell therapy that treats both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes has been identified as a promising new area.

Let's Learn About the basics of diabetes

Type I Diabetes

The form of diabetes that is described here is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system incorrectly attacks and destroys beta cells that produce insulin within the pancreas. Most people with Type 1 diabetes rely on external insulin sources.

Symptoms:

The sudden onset and abrupt symptoms

Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) can be seen in extreme situations in untreated Type 1 diabetes; characterized by elevated blood sugar, vomiting, dehydration and confusion. DKA is life-threatening, and requires prompt medical attention.

Type 2 Diabetes

This kind of diabetes is typically caused by lifestyle factors. It happens when body cells become insulin-resistant. This hampers the body's ability to effectively regulate blood sugar levels.

Both forms of diabetes come with unique difficulties and complications, but the common goal is better control and, in the ideal case finding the possibility of a cure.

Signs and symptoms

Gradual beginning

Peripheral neuropathy (tingling, numbness or discomfort in the hands or feet)

Recurrent infections, particularly in the gums, skin or the urinary tract

"Acanthosis Niricans" is an inflammatory skin disorder which is characterised by dark and thickened patches of skin that are usually found in folds of the body.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in women has been associated with Type 2 diabetes

Common symptoms of Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes

Frequent urination

An excessive thirst

More hunger

Unexplained weight loss

Vision blurred

Slow healing

Fatigue

Notice the combination of symptoms and severity differs from person to person. There have been instances when people experience none of these symptoms and are diagnosed with diabetes at an examination for health. This is the reason we suggest regular health checks, especially for those with an ancestral background of diabetes and obesity. People who lead a very sedentary life are susceptible to developing diabetes and must keep track of their health checks.

Stem cells for treatment of diabetes in India

Stem cells have the amazing capability of transforming into various kinds of cells within the body. This makes them a potent instrument for healing damaged tissues. The capacity to regenerate is the reason they are a great option for alternative treatments for diabetes.

At Plexus We use Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) to treat diabetes types 1 as well as Type 2 diabetes.

Therapy with stem cells for type 1 diabetics

Because Type 1 diabetes is characterized by a deficiency of beta cells the stem cell therapy is about replacing damaged or deficient beta cells using healthy beta cells.

Therapy with stem cells for type II diabetes

The main cause of type 2 diabetes is caused by insulin resistance. The cells in the body aren't reacting to insulin. Stem cell therapy is focused on enhancing the sensitivity to insulin and returning (normal) sugar regulation.

Although the stem cells treatment for treating diabetes has been increasing in popularity over the last few years here at Plexus we remain committed to lifestyle changes like diet and weight control and blood sugar monitoring and managing stress. Contact us today to manage your diabetes.

FAQs

Could stem cells be employed in the treatment of diabetes?

The stem cell could aid in improving immune function and insulin sensitiveness, while also helping the pancreas's function in regulating glucose.

What is the rate of success for stem cell therapies to treat patients with diabetes?

Research suggests that around 70 percent of Type 1 diabetes cases have seen significant improvements in reducing the severity of the condition.

The stem cell that is most suitable for people with diabetes?

Mesenchymal stem cells have demonstrated remarkable potential as a treatment for patients suffering from diabetes.

Which of the diabeteses is not treatable?

It is impossible to treat diabetes. But, the condition can be effectively controlled with the right interventions, lifestyle changes and regenerative treatments such as stem cells therapy.
