Stem cell treatment

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Good day,
Noted your concern.
It is true that Ste cell treatment may offer cuure to diabetes for some time, but it may reurn after some time. There are very few centers in world which is offering this and it requires high expertise. Again, it is not suitable for all the patients and patient selection is very important. Type 1 diabetes is more suitable for this kind of treatment. May i know what kind of diabetes do you have?
Cost is based on the center. It costs approximately 5 lakhs
Regards
