A study examining if patients with type 2 diabetes could benefit from patient self-donated stem cell infusion combined with before and after hyperbaric (above normal pressure) oxygen treatment has found significant patient benefits in terms of improved glycemic control and reduced insulin requirements. The treatment could reduce morbidity and mortality, researchers suggested, as the treatments might induce the growth of blood vessels in the pancreas and provide an anti-inflammatory effect.
