Diabetes management & surgery
Introduction
Diabetes is a metabolic disease characterized by a patient’s blood sugar level being above the normal range for a long period of time. Diabetes management involves lifestyle changes, medications, and sometimes surgery. China has made pioneering achievements in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes surgeries.
Why Choose China
Experienced Doctors
China’s approach to diabetes treatment is marked by innovative interventions, particularly in digital health and stem cell therapy. These advancements not only demonstrate China’s commitment to improving diabetes care but also its potential to transform global diabetes treatment strategies.
Advanced technologies & Achievements
China has demonstrated tremendous strength in the field of diabetes treatment, highlighted by two significant technological breakthroughs in 2024, which are achieving functional cures for Diabetes.
On April 30, 2024, Professor Yin Hao’s team from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Navy Medical University (Shanghai Changzheng Hospital), in collaboration with Professor Cheng Xin’s team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science, published their research titled “Treating a type 2 diabetic patient with impaired pancreatic islet function by personalized endoderm stem cell-derived islet tissue” in the authoritative journal Cell Discovery. This study reports the world’s first successful case of using stem cell-derived autologous regenerative islet transplantation to cure a patient with severe pancreatic islet dysfunction.
On September 25, 2024, another groundbreaking study by a team of Chinese scientists was published in the prestigious journal Cell. This research marks the first successful application of stem cell regenerative therapy to achieve functional cure of type 1 diabetes, representing a major breakthrough. The achievements of Chinese scientists in stem cell treatment for type 1 diabetes not only bring new hope to millions of diabetes patients but also open new horizons in the field of regenerative medicine. This study showcases the immense potential of stem cell technology in treating complex chronic diseases.
These two major breakthroughs underscore China’s exceptional capabilities in diabetes treatment. Additionally, in China, patients can benefit from unique traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) approaches to diabetes treatment. TCM methods complement Western medical treatments, providing patients with a more comprehensive and robust medical support system. Through differential diagnosis, acupuncture, massage, and herbal medicine, TCM helps to regulate patients’ physical conditions, improve pancreatic islet function, and alleviate complications. This integrative treatment strategy not only enhances the effectiveness of diabetes care but also reduces the side effects of medications, thereby improving patients’ quality of life.
China’s diabetes treatment technologies are at the forefront globally, providing efficient, convenient, and safe treatment options for diabetes patients. Looking ahead, China is expected to continue making significant advances in diabetes treatment, contributing substantially to the global fight against diabetes.
