Diabetes and Stroke | Dr. David Greene Arizona

Diabetes is a disorder in which the body's ability to control and utilize sugar (glucose) in the blood is impaired. The pancreas is responsible for maintaining these levels. By assisting patients in producing insulin, stem cell treatment has the potential to treat Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes may be treated using stem cell-derived treatment.
