Diabetes
A lot of Americans suffer from both Type I and Type II diabetes, so the interest in stem cell treatment is extremely high. Millions of people in the United States have to deal with the devastating effects of diabetes, and stem cells could help ameliorate the symptoms.

Type I diabetes is a genetic, immune system disorder, generated by the pancreas not being able to produce insulin, or producing too little. For those patients, stem cell treatment could provide the same immune system effects, just like it does for other autoimmune diseases.
On the other hand, Type II diabetes occurs when the body builds resistance to insulin. And even though the pancreas is still able to produce it, the body becomes insulin resistant, causing it to remain in the bloodstream, which can be very dangerous.
In this case, stem cell treatment could make the pancreas generate moderate amounts of insulin, while also helping the body respond better to it. While there are a lot of clinical trials operating at the moment to prove the stem cells efficacy for diabetes patients, a lot of people are patiently waiting for the results, as they could change their life for the better.
