[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1818196, member: 30007"] Let's be clear what the original study states. It is that those treated with a specific form of BCG in the trials had much lower Hba1Cs. They were not producing more insulin, and a c-peptide test showed that they were not producing c-peptide. The mechanism seems to be that the T-Reg white blood cells had changed their energy characteristics to use more glucose and therefore remove more from the body. All of the participants in the study continued to use existing technologies including CGMs and pumps, so no insulin was stopped as a result of this therapy. All in all it's an indicator of a potential amelioration at this stage, and still a long way from a "cure". [/QUOTE]
