Few months back i saw an article in news paper regarding Type1 diabetic cured in china. Clinical trails are succeed. This treatment when it will be available in india. And what is the cost of the surgery around. Sir.. Please me....

Ans: There is no proven and approved cure of Type 1 Diabetes, as of now. There are a few trials and research are ongoing. The news from China is very promising but it is an early stage. Such investigation trials and findings need to be further validated and we should wait for some more time. Hope that in next few years, there would be more advance in science and we will have better treatment for T1DM.
