Stem cell treatment for diabetes mellitus
Diabetes is a disease that affects different parts of the body. It includes high levels of glucose, also known as blood sugar. Diabetes can affect the smallest blood vessels that are essential for the functioning of the eyes, kidneys and sensitive nerves. This condition can hinder the body's ability to repair injuries and lead to diabetic foot. Our stem cell treatment for diabetes mellitus involves infusing allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells into the patient's body to regenerate insulin-producing cells, restore blood flow, create new blood vessels and repair damaged vessels.
The benefits of stem cell treatment for diabetes mellitus can vary from patient to patient depending on many factors, including your current health status, medical history, extent of damage, and other factors. It is important to understand that although the use of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cell injections for regenerating blood vessels and general tissues that have been affected has shown some of the highest effectiveness in treating this condition, patients undergoing this treatment should not expect a guaranteed cure.

Discuss your situationHow does our stem cell treatment process for diabetes mellitus work?
All our stem cell treatments at Istanbul Stamcel are assessed and administered by specialists who specialise in the respective condition and have been trained in the United States and Turkey. We do this not only with general practitioners to ensure the highest level of precision, understanding of the condition and quality of treatment for you. We are 100% clear and honest with you.
Not everyone is eligible for our stem cell treatments. We turn away many patients after our specialist has evaluated your current health status and medical history and determined that the treatment is not appropriate, to avoid false promises or expectations when the risks outweigh the benefits. For this reason and to ensure your safety in all our treatments, each patient is assessed by the specialist before you can plan your treatment.
- Step 1.
Specialist assessment
For diabetes patients, our specialist needs to know your age and previous medical treatments. In addition, the specialist will need to review your SMAC-32 Chemistry Screen (also called Comprehensive Metabolic Panel or CMP), Complete Blood Count (CBC), and Hemoglobin A1C Test (HbA1C).
- Step 2.
Telephone Consultation with the Specialist (Free)
Once the specialist has reviewed your medical records and confirmed your suitability, we will present options and pricing. At that time we also offer a free telephone consultation to discuss questions and concerns.
- Step 3.
Stem cell preparation
Once you decide to undergo our treatment, we will send a deposit invoice to start the process of stem cell preparation so that it is ready in time for the scheduled treatment. This process may take 5-10 days depending on current demand and availability.
- Step 4.
Treatment day
On the day of treatment, you can choose to come to our hospital location or use our free round-trip transportation from any point within our hospital location in Istanbul. Our driver will pick you up at your desired location and accompany you to our clinic, where the specialist will administer your treatment, and then take you back.
- Step 5.
Follow-up care
Our follow-up specialist will contact you according to our follow-up schedule to ensure you have all the resources you need for maximum benefits.

Frequently asked questions about stem cell treatment
Can stem cell therapy cure my diabetes mellitus?
An improvement in symptoms is different from a cure. Whether stem cell therapy is a reasonable option for you depends on your diagnosis, previous treatment and the evidence for the proposed protocol. Discuss realistic goals and how progress would be measured; an individual outcome cannot be guaranteed.
For diabetes, the type of diabetes, your current medication and glucose trends are important discussion points.
How effective is this stem cell treatment for diabetes mellitus?
Potential outcomes vary between people and treatment protocols. Your assessment should cover specific goals, the available research and the remaining uncertainties. Agree on when and how results will be assessed. Another patient’s experience cannot reliably predict your own outcome.
