63. I'm a type2 but I hope this breakthrough really helps
I think mostly people with Type 1 will benefit as it could correct damage done in the pancreas. I have insulin resistance, was first diagnosed as having gestational diabetes wih my second child but it quickly turned to type 2 diabetes after just 3 months. I was diagnosed at just age 29, not overweight, no history in my family. It just happened. I have some insulin being made by my pancreas so I am type 2. It sucks to be diabetic and any new research is welcomed. It does get very expensive, though, even with insurance. Needles, test strips, long acting insulin, short acting insulin, glucogen pills. It adds up after a while.
