Can children with type 1 diabetes avoid insulin? I heard that dry

Patient's question:

Can children with type 1 diabetes avoid insulin? I heard stem cell transplantation is very effective......Is it suitable for children? Thirst, frequent urination, weight loss, and increased appetite

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if a child has diabetes, most of them have Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes requires insulin treatment to prevent diabetic ketoacidosis. Additionally, strict dietary control is also necessary.
Advice: Stem cell transplantation has a significant effect on Type 1 diabetes, and with luck, there may even be a chance of being cured. Family members can consult and undergo examinations at hospitals that perform such surgeries. If this is not possible, insulin control of blood sugar is still required. Once blood sugar is not well-controlled in Type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis is prone to occur, which can be life-threatening.
