Chinese scientists have cured a 59-year-old man of type 2 diabetes using a pioneering cell transplant technique.

The patient, who had diabetes for 25 years, no longer requires insulin injections.

The technique involves a cell transplant that creates artificial pancreas cells to regulate blood sugar levels.

This approach uses stem cells to restore pancreatic islet function.

The method could potentially offer a permanent solution for diabetes without medications or lifestyle changes.

The research is published in Cell Discovery.

The study underscores the potential of regenerative medicine to transform diabetes treatment and improve patient lives.

Further validation and testing are needed to make the therapy more accessible and cost-effective.
