Highly doubtfull..

It could be for those NEWLY diagnosed while there is still beta cell functioning

Once the beta, alpha and delta cells (the cells of the islets of langerhans) are killed off by autoimmunity.. they are dead. they will not come back.

There are several trials out there that are involving ONLY newly diagnosed type 1's to prevent further degredation of the beta cells which are the cells that produce the insulin and c-peptide (1 molecule insulin and 1 molecule of c-peptide are released.. they can not measure the insulin produced, but they can the c-peptide).

I am extreamly doubtful about this.. because as I said above, once killed off completely it is completely. But they ARE trialing medications to prevent further destruction of beta cells in the newly diagnosed.
