(NewsUSA) — Only seven years ago, American health authorities predicted that the number of diabetics in the U.S. would hit 29 million by 2050. At current growth rates, that number will be hit in 2012! Worldwide, 240 million people have been diagnosed with diabetes, an eightfold increase in 40 years.

What can help treat diabetes without causing complications? According to the Repair Stem Cell Institute, adult stem cell treatments combined with important lifestyle changes offer the most hope.

Injecting adult stem cells, not embryonic stem cells, into unhealthy tissue can help the body heal itself. For example, a diabetic with cardiovascular disease could undergo adult stem cell treatment to repair the damaged tissue.
