"The researchers caution they have yet to confirm their findings in people, but say they expect results from human studies within a year or so. Any treatment that may emerge to help at least some patients would likely be years away from hitting the market."

That last sentence is just plain unsat.

If, and is a big 'if' this proves out, it will be fasgt tracked. There are no drugs we do not know the affects of involved, so the toxicity question is moot. As the father of a child with type 1 diabetes, I and millions of other americans will not stand for big pharma, the stem cell lobby, or any other special interest group slowing down this avenue which could lead to a cure.

My kid has Type 1, and I'm OK with it. He's a special little monkey, and if his Islet cells are actually not dead, but non-responsive, I'd like for the remedy to not actually kill them, or do some other damage. (Pancreas also sends signals to your liver as you wake, telling it to release sugar to help you come back out of sleep).
