Another thing we discussed at my Pumpers Support Group meeting last night (besides the Dexcom) was the drug trial one of the men there is participating in. He is taking Exendin - Byetta - in doses 4X what is prescribed for Type 2 patients. Exendin has reversed Type 1 diabetes in mice by regenerating lost pancreas cells. The trial is to determine whether this effect can be seen in humans.
The man reported that he has cut his insulin use by 50%, but as far as he knows, none of the Type 1's in the study have been "cured" as yet.
Pretty interesting!
