Pig cell insulin helps diabetic for decade : "The pig cells were injected into the man's abdomen in 1996, which helped reduce his insulin requirements by 34 per cent for a year, researchers from the biotech firm wrote in a paper published in the latest issue of the journal Xenotransplantation."
It doesn't say whether there were or are any side effects and it doesn't say if the procedure is difficult, but the fact the man is still doing better with his diabetes 10 years after the pig cell injection in 1996. This seems to be a marvellous break through which they have made and hopefully they will go ahead with more tests and trials. It would bring such a dramatic change in the life of diabetics. I really hope it works out because it seems to be a treatment which isn't as dramtic as most treatments seem to be and therefore one which really will bring about some good health for people.
