Just saw this. Have not read it yet.

Very interesting article. I can see how this would help type 1. Not sure though with type 2. Here’s what the article says:

“The technique, known as gene transfer, involves using a virus as a vector to carry selected genes into the pancreas, which then are incorporated and cause digestive system and other cell types to make insulin.”

I think it would progress diabetes in type 2 and cause/continue obesity.
