In a new clinical trial to observe a new method of injecting islet cells into a patient with Type 1 diabetes, doctors from the University of Miami’s Diabetes Research Institute have confirmed that their first trial patient no longer needs insulin therapy. Wendy Peacock, their first patient, has been giving herself insulin injections and following a strict daily schedule to take care of her diabetes since she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 17. Now 43, Peacock has undergone the surgery in this new trial and no longer needs injections because her body is producing insulin naturally. Since the minimally-invasive procedure in August 2015, she also no longer has the dietary restrictions that coincide with having Type 1 diabetes.

Wendy Peacock, a 43 year old female was suffering from Type 1 diabetes when she was 17 to her forties. But now the doctors have claimed that she is the first patient that doesn’t need to undergo insulin therapy anymore. Wendy has been treating herself with daily insulin injections which are controlling her diabetes level in the body. Insulin injections were the only diagnosis present in the world for controlling diabetes before the discovery of this new method. Now at the age of 43, she has made her mind and agreed for the surgery. After the surgery the doctors have discovered that her body was producing the insulin naturally which means she doesn’t need to treat herself from any kind of treatment. Now, she is free to eat any kind of food and all the food restrictions that are imposed on her have been removed by the doctors. Improper food and lifestyle causes diabetes problem in most of the people.
