Using Stem Cell to Treat Children with Diabetes

Children with diabetes are different with those adult patients with Diabetes Mellitus, for children are in the stage of growing development. Using a large quantity of insulins or medicines will affect children’s growing development and their body. Stem Cell Transplant Treatment bring new hope to children with diabetes, which will not affect their growing development.
The treatment of children with diabetes mainly is injecting insulin, which can avoid the damage of liver, kidney and other tissues and organs, but can’t treat the complications of Diabetes Mellitus. What’s more, some patients have antibody of insulin, so the insulin has no good effect on them. More serious, injecting insulin in a long time may cause such diseases as Cerebral Thrombosis, Apoplexia, heart attack, Nephrotic Syndrome and so on, which will threaten patients’ life.
The first step of treating children with diabetes is controlling the blood sugar. After the blood sugar being stable, we can begin to treat Diabetes Mellitus. Many patients don’t know Diabetes Mellitus very well. They think that as long as the blood sugar is controlled, Diabetes Mellitus will be controlled too, which is mistaken.
Only treating from the root is the right choice
Stem cell is a kind of cells that have various differentiating function. It can differentiate into all kinds of cells and grow various normal tissues and organs. If the stem cell is inputted into patients’ body, it will repair the pathological cells and rebuild the cells and tissues which have normal function. It can treat many kinds of diseases and has good effect, especially Diabetes Mellitus.
Using stem cell to treat children with diabetes doesn’t affect their growing development
The principle of stem cell transplant mainly is extracting the relevant stem cells from blood, marrow or cord blood and inputting them into patients’ pancreatic tissues via vein or arterial duct after separation, purification and proliferation. Stem cells will proliferate and differentiate into islet cells in the induction of pancreatic tissue microenvironment, replace the damaged islet cells, secrete insulin, and promote the damaged islet cells to be regenerated and repaired, which treat Diabetes Mellitus fundamentally.

Therefore, using stem cell to treat children with diabetes doesn’t affect their growing development. If you have more questions, you can consult our experts.
