Hi: A type 2 er here on Novolin and Glipizide. How did my insulin cell die off to begin with?? And what do I have to take to grow them back?? I am 60 and 5'9" and weigh 225. Thanks for the help
Both. Type one still has 20 to 30 % of the Beta cells they were born with and the 2s have more. It takes 2 years for the 2s to regrow and roughly 3 year for the type ones. There will be individual differences but for all, this is really good news.
There are multiple reasons why beta cells die off; Bydureon will begin the process of regrowing. It has the side effect of sliming down to the point of decreasing total weight of 20 to 30 pounds.
The FDA makes a decision up front when a product goes into initial testing. They will not change their mind until the company applies for a change and submits lots of evidence to prove that is the correct decision.

Dr Joe,
Are you saying that Type 1 diabetics can be enabled to grow new pancreatic cells? Or are you talking about Type 2 diabetics only?
Thanks.

So the Bydureon Home Page is wrong when it states:
'BYDUREON is not for people with type 1 diabetes.'
How can the makers get this so wrong? Do they not know about your work?
