RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:BiotechCare to explain why it would appear they are getting close to a cure without a top-up? FIrst patient had not one, but 2 top ups. No data is out on any other patients. I'm not quite sure how you think they are getting close....Just a guess? A hunch? A wish? Rock bottom, PP prices (without the warrant). Steppppp right up, stepppp right up!!

Keeping a brittle diabetic's blood sugar level within a range that excludes hypo/hyperglycemic events is a success. A first-in-world success. Hyperglycemia causes all of the horrible long term side effects of the disease. Hypoglycemia can result in a coma or death and is the reason diabetics often keep their daily blood sugar levels too high. Avoiding these events would materially change life expectancy and quality of life. Given that the Edmonton Protocol is the standard of care for islet transplantation, it's no surprise it was done. It appears to me that they are getting quite close to a functional cure without a top-up. That would be the holy grail.
