Scientists in China reprogrammed a woman's fat cells to turn them into insulin-making pancreatic cells that reversed her type 1 diabetes.
Insulin is the chemical key that allows sugar molecules to exit the bloodstream and enter cells, where they can be used for fuel.
The patient treated in the recent study still doesn't need any injected insulin a year out from her procedure.
