Abstract

The study attempts to evaluate the C-Peptide levels after autologous nonmyeloablative hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) among newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus. The results indicate that C-Peptide levels increased significantly following HSCT and patients exhibited insulin independence with good glycemic control.

Abstract

The safety and metabolic effects of high-dose immunosuppression were determined, followed by autologous nonmyeloablative hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHST) in newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM). With AHST, beta cell function was found to be increased in all but 1 patient and induced prolonged insulin independence in the majority of the patients.
