Is There Age Limit for Stem Cell Transplantation to Treat Diabetes

The treatment principle of the stem cell transplantation of Hebei province is to block islet resistance, and repair the susceptibility genes. But the stem cell doesn’t have directly block treatment function to the insulin resistance on the stem cell transplantation, only repair the damaged islet cells and target at cell receptors in the right place, the purpose of this treatment is to block insulin. Is there age limit for stem cell theory of Diabetes?
In the traditional conception, once people have Diabetes, they will take medicine or inject insulin in all their lives. Now this concept has been broken. Using stem cells to treat Diabetes can let patients get rid of insulin, and then begin a new life. Stem cell can regenerate islet cell, rebuild the function of islet, thus achieving the purpose of curing Diabetes from the root.
Diabetes mainly is divided into Type 1 Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes, it is a kind of autoimmunity disease which direct at islet B cells, and it has complex pathogenesis, once patient is diagnosed as Diabetes, they need to rely on insulin all their lives. Because patient is lack of physiological glucose sensing system, this replacement therapy is lack of feedback regulation, it is not accordance with physiological needs, which will cause systemic metabolic disorder and damage the vital organs.
Stem Cell Transplantation is currently one of the most effective means to treat Diabetes, but a lot of people don't understand the effect of treatment for Stem Cell Transplantation, now we can see together. Diabetes is a chronic disease, not only threats people’s health, but also affects the patient’s life. At present the most accepted treatment is stem cell therapy for diabetes. After Diabetes patients transplanting stem cell, the patients can feel symptom has changed in a short time, the symptom change in the following aspects:
1. Increase appetite, sleep become better and better, and the mental status change obviously
2. The symptom of “Three More One Less” is vanished gradually.
3. High blood pressure, high blood fat, kidney, neurological damage and other complications become better.
4 Recover immunity of the organism, the physiological indexes improve significantly before transplantation.

Stem cells go into the patients' bodies to repair damaged islet cell, prompt islet to produce new β cells, recover the ability of secreting insulin; repair other functioning cells in other visceral organs which have the ability of secreting insulin, increase the secretory volume of insulin; enhance its insulin sensitivity, improve binding force of receptor and insulin for treating insulin resistance. Stem cells are universal cells, age is not very strictly when transplantation treat Diabetes, it is common require patient’s age no more than 75 years old; for the younger patient without certain limit, at present, in our country, the youngest patient who using stem cell transplantation to treat Diabetes is 8 years old, this is a reference data.
