How stem cell therapy may help with type 2 diabetes
In type 2 diabetes the body’s cells grow resistant to insulin. The pancreas works harder to compensate, glucose stays high, and low-grade inflammation spreads through vessels and organs. Medication, diet and exercise manage the readings. They do not address the inflammation that keeps the resistance in place.
- Mesenchymal stem cells are studied for their ability to reduce the chronic inflammation linked to insulin resistance.
- Research examines how cell signalling may affect inflammation and the tissue environment. Evidence and clinical outcomes vary by application.
- Treatment is delivered intravenously, reaching the pancreas, liver and vessels through the circulation.
- Cells are prepared in our own laboratory and used fresh, never frozen.
- The protocol is written for your history, your blood work and your goals.
Concerns to discuss with your care team
Readings that resist the plan
Fasting numbers that stay high and post-meal spikes, despite medication taken exactly as prescribed.
Constant tiredness
Fatigue that rest does not clear, and an afternoon fog that makes work harder than it was.
Tingling, numbness and slow healing
Feet that burn or go quiet, and small wounds that linger for weeks.
Watching the rest of the body
Blood pressure, cholesterol and kidney results all under review, and the sense of a clock running.
Who may be a candidate
Adults with diagnosed type 2 diabetes whose control or quality of life remains limited under conventional care may be evaluated. Candidacy is decided by our physicians after a medical review of your history, recent blood work and current treatment, never by a form.
Treatment is not offered where there is active infection, certain cancers, or other conditions identified in review.
What to expect
1. Evaluation
A call with a patient advisor, then a medical review of your records, recent blood work and current medication.
2. Treatment plan
Protocol, schedule and the full investment, written for your case and discussed with you before you travel.
3. Treatment in San José
Travel and stay arranged for you. Treatment by our physicians in our Ministry of Health–licensed clinic.
4. Follow-up care
Scheduled check-ins with our team after you return home.
Investment
Each plan is built for one patient. In your consultation we walk through the full investment and exactly what it includes: cells, clinical care, and the arrangements around your stay.
The Cellebration approach
- Fresh, never frozen. Ask how cells are prepared and evaluated for your proposed care.
- Physician-led. Clinical decisions by our medical team, in a licensed clinic.
- An informed discussion. Review the evidence, limitations and alternatives relevant to your condition.
- Personalized support. A care team helps coordinate the treatment journey.
