They didn’t undo diabetes, they stimulated the release of insulin. You don’t undo diabetes (type 2) by releasing insulin.

And since releasing insulin only creates more insulin resistance by changing receptor density, this is just making it worse.

If you can reliably release insulin you’ve more or less treated type 1 diabetes though.

Regardless, shrug.

The treatment is for type 1, not type 2. Very different causes.
