How is Stem Cell Therapy Applied to Type 1 Diabetes Patients?
Collection of Stem Cells
Stem cells hold promise for the treatment of Type 1 diabetes and intermediate forms of diabetes whose body does not produce enough insulin. These stem cells are found in the umbilical cord, bone marrow and fat cells. In our own applications, we use umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Since these stem cells can differentiate into other cells, they are vital cells in the treatment of diseases characterized by cell destruction or deficiency.
Preparation of Stem Cells
Stem cells are analyzed in the laboratory and transformed into insulin-producing beta cells. Thanks to these insulin-producing cells, Type 1 and intermediate form (Type 1.5) Diabetes can be controlled much more effectively.
Transfer of Stem Cells
The prepared stem cells are returned to the body. In diabetes treatment, stem cells improve blood sugar control and restore the function of insulin-producing Beta cells.
Stem Cell Therapy Type 1 Diabetes
As Private Etiler Hospital, we are proud to present a promising method offered by stem cell technology in the treatment of diseases. Stem cell therapy offers an important step to repair or regenerate damaged cells using the body's own potential.
Frequently Asked Questions
Stem cell therapy helps regulate blood sugar by replacing damaged insulin-producing cells with new ones. This allows for better control of blood sugar levels and contributes to reducing diabetes complications.
Like any medical treatment, stem cell therapy has potential side effects and risks. These can include the risk of infection and not responding to treatment as well as expected.
The problem of unexpected behavior of cells seen in pluripotent embryonal stem cell treatments is not seen in Mesenchymal Stem Cell treatment. Discuss the possible risks and expectations with your doctor in detail before treatment.
The long-term effects of stem cell therapy are still being studied, and in most patients this treatment reduces or eliminates insulin dependence. The long-term effects often depend on factors such as the patient’s general health, the state of the stem cell reserve before treatment, lifestyle and response to treatment.
The success rate of stem cell therapy depends on many factors. The most decisive factor is the insulin reserve and insulin activity before starting treatment. The effects of treatment usually become visible within a few weeks or 1 month. However, each patient’s condition is different and the effectiveness of treatment will vary on an individual basis.
After stem cell therapy, regular follow-up and check-ups are important. These check-ups are done to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment and to monitor possible side effects. The frequency of check-ups may vary depending on the patient’s condition and the doctor’s recommendations. Generally, the first three months after treatment are of greater importance.
