In my humble opinion, I feel this research will greatly benefit us type 2's in the future. From what I understand, most type 2s start with insulin resistance, which requires our pancreas to produce more and more insulin. Eventually the beta cells, which produce the insulin in our pancreas, just literally begin to give out. As they die off, less and less insulin gets produced, and our blood sugars get higher and higher. Oral meds cease to work, since most of them are developed to help our pancreas produce more of its own insulin. If they can develop a procedure to help the pancreas to create more beta cells, this will benefit both types of diabetes. Hope this helps. And again, this is my understanding, so if I'm wrong, please someone correct me. Oh, and since I've been on Byetta for the last year and 1/2, my insulin production seems to have gone back up on its own. I've had to cut back on Byetta from 10 mcg's to 5 mcg's for the last several months, and in the <!--more--> evening, the 5 is still often too much. This is down from taking Glucophage 4X daily, Actos, Glucotrol and Byetta when I first started taking Byetta in November of 2005. My doctor really believes the Byetta has restored some of my beta cells, and that is the reason I'm producing insulin on my own and require much less medication. Right now I take Glucophage XR X2, and Byetta 5 mcg. X2 daily. He believes that in the long haul, our own immune systems, and our beta cells are going to be the answer for the majority of diabetics, both type 1 and 2, and that a "cure" is just around the corner. I sure hope he's right! :) Cheryl from Florida What does this have to do with type 2? our problem isn't our beta cells (at least not initially), but insulin resistance, right?

us type 2’s in the future. From what I understand, most type 2s start with
insulin resistance, which requires our pancreas to produce more and more
insulin. Eventually the beta cells, which produce the insulin in our
pancreas, just literally begin to give out. As they die off, less and less

more of its own insulin. If they can develop a procedure to help the
pancreas to create more beta cells, this will benefit both types of
diabetes. Hope this helps. And again, this is my understanding, so if I’m

What does this have to do with type 2? our problem isn’t our beta
cells (at least not initially), but insulin resistance, right?
