It is nice to have you aboard to tell us about your treatment. Can you tell us why you chose China and a little bit more about the clinic there and what all you went through to get the treatment? It sounds like you are making progress. I have COPD and when you mention that you sometimes get anxious and your readings are not like you want, it is a mirror of what I have gone through also and yet we do not share the same disease. I think it is an important thing you have mentioned. Stem cell treatment requires patience and it is not an overnight solution to any disease that I know of. I hope you will elaborate more as diabetes is certainly a universal problem and getting worse all the time.
Thanks Barbara for your response. To your question why I chose China for the treatment is because about a year ago New York Times had an articles about high number os diabetics in New York City. There was another related story regarding the :Argentina Sudy" quoting the Science Magazine where the stem cell implants had a 85% success rate in treating diabetes.
I found the Argentinian web site and found out that the treatment was developed at various universities i.e. Baylor, University of Florida, and North Western universities. I also found a name of a Doctor who was one of the pioneers of developing the procedure.
I contacted the clinic in Argentina and also called the Professor at the Baylor university. I did receive a call from Argentina who told me that I could be helped but during my conversation with the Professor came to know the availability of the procedure at Qingdao Medical University in China.
Comparing the cost, treatment in China was half of what I would have paid in Argentina. Thus the decision to go to China.
Hospital where I received the treatment is the University Hospital. It is a large facility and quite gtood. But They are building a separate most modern and extremely clean Stem Cell Center. Doctore are trained in USA and visit Baylor and University of Florida at a regular interval for new techniques and training.
I am not trying to plug in or compare the Chinese facility here in the forum but simply writing about them in response to your question.
Like you mentioned that stem cell treatment requires patience, I am trying to believe in it. Though my medicationes have not gone away, the overall readings and comments from friends about my current health and appearance and how I feel prove that the treatment is working.
Wish me luck.
