Immunotherapy for Type 2 Diabetes

People with type 2 diabetes have to receive drugs or insulin injection to reduce the level of blood sugar. It is known that this therapy makes people suffer a lot. Thereby Immunotherapy is worked out for type 2 diabetes treatment. Why Immunotherapy is so effective for type 2 diabetes? And how does it work?

Why do people have type 2 diabetes?

There are two causes for people to have type 2 diabetes. In the body, insulin is used to transmit the blood sugar to cells for fuel and keep the blood sugar in a normal range. However, in the people with type 2 diabetes, their pancreas cannot secret enough insulin for the body need. In addition, too many fat cells in their body reduce the sensitivity to insulin. So the blood sugar cannot be used by cells but stay in the blood vessels to destroy organs. Thereby there are many complications of diabetes.

How do the traditional drugs and insulin do for type 2 diabetes?

All the drugs for diabetes is to restraint the formation of blood sugar or promote the pancreas to secret more insulin to transmit the blood sugar. Drugs will give a further damage to their pancreas. Insulin is indeed the only one which can increase the absorption of blood sugar. However, insulin would lead to hypoglycemia and further obesity.

Immunotherapy is used to treat type 2 diabetes in clinic for more than 3 year in our hospital. it is not a surgery as the kidney transplant but only the injection of Immunotherapy into the body. With the homing function, Immunotherapy can find the lesion in pancreas. Immunotherapys are a type of immature cells which have the ability to differentiate into various cells for body need.

Immunotherapys are like a seed in the soil, which can reproduce many cells to improve the function of pancreas. After the therapy, pancreas can secret enough insulin and the sensitivity of cells can be increased by Immunotherapy.
