This is the work of Dr Faustman who many believe will be the answer for the type 1’s prayers. Even though the preliminary phase 1 trials have shown to stimulate some C-Peptide and even slight insulin secretion its way to early to know whether this will indeed end up being the holy grail we’ve been praying for. That being said we sufferers need to be as supportive as possible and help Dr Faustman move this sucker forward. I’ve been posting all over a variety of forums to try and help hussle up funds which at this point is all she needs.
