Not OP but thanks for sharing a good link.

Technically it is not a cure for type 2. But a repair to further damage caused by a life of type 2.

The type 2 diabetic is still insulin resistant after this treatment. It is just some of the harm that resistance dose to their islet cells. Makeing them partly mimic type 1 diabetes with reduced insulin production. Can be rebuilt with stem cells.

The patient will still need to eat and manage carbs as a well treated type 2 must. To avoid having issues.
