  You actually can, that’s the easy part surprisingly. The hard part is keeping the body from killing beta cells after you induce their growth which is why it’s not cured yet.

      Looks like you can in theory? I was interested and asking for a source is absolutely fair.

  Look up Vertex. They have stem cell derived beta cells they’re looking to put in a pouch to avoid immune response, but AFAIK the production of the beta cells is a solved problem. They implanted those cells in someone and he’s seemingly cured.

  The issue is that cure currently comes with life long immunosuppressants.
