A member asked:
Is there a way that cord blood of a child can be used by the type 1 diabetic father to eliminate insulin shots?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: There is a very small study (15 patients) saying that there seemed to be a decrease in the level of diabetes after "stem cell educating". A cure? Not at this time. However, if you have the financial ability this might be a good time to save the cord blood and placenta of the next child, just in case.
