   "Coming from YOU, I will take it as a confirmation that increasing the   
   amount of beta cells available in your body is indeed possible."   
      
   Snicker, only in rodents son, that is rats and mice I say son can this be   
   demonstrated.  The several studies using similar methods in humans have all   
   been failures to date.   
      
   Btw, the method involved the "gut flora" and the incretin effect.  But only   
   rodents son, only rodents.   
      
   Beta cell mass in rodents is very plastic and cell replication is quick,   
   not so in humans where beta cell replacement is very very sloooow.  In a   
   type 1 these as were the original cells are soon destroyed.  That has been   
   the fate most often with beta cell transplant studies also.
