Level 2 · Type 1 diabetes
Type 1 diabetes: an adjunct to your treatment, never a substitute
It is offered as an adjunct to the treatment you are already on, in assessed cases. Your insulin is still your insulin, and your endocrinologist still runs your care.

What it can do and what it does not
Both lists carry the same weight because both matter equally to your decision.
Safety notice
Do not stop or reduce your insulin because you read this page. In type 1 diabetes, stopping insulin leads to ketoacidosis, which is a medical emergency and can be fatal. Any adjustment is your endocrinologist’s decision, with lab results in front of them.
What it does not do. And we will not imply otherwise
- It does not restore insulin production.
- It does not allow you to stop insulin.
- It does not replace your endocrinologist’s follow-up.
- It does not reverse complications that are already established: advanced neuropathy, retinopathy or kidney damage.
What it can do. In documented cases
- It may be offered as an adjunct to the treatment you are already on, in cases assessed by the physician.
What it does to your day
The tiredness
Frequent tiredness, low energy and difficulty keeping up a normal level of activity.
Food and timing
Constant attention to food, timing, medication and glucose. Leaving the house takes planning.
What builds up over the years
Without good control, the risk of complications rises in the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and blood vessels.
The emotional toll
Living with something that demands constant attention is wearing, especially when control becomes hard to hold.

What we need to assess you
We need to know which type of diabetes you have been diagnosed with, what treatment you are on for glucose control, what related conditions you have, and whether you use insulin and how often.
What follow-up looks like
24 hours later
First follow-up
We call to confirm you are well, hear how you have been feeling and answer any question that came up after the application.
Day 3
Check-in
We contact you again to hear how you are doing and confirm everything is still fine.
Day 7
Close follow-up
A third contact to review how you are getting on and advise you if anything has changed.
Day 45
Progress review
From here on, changes may begin to be seen. The timing and the size of any change vary from person to person, and in some people none is seen.
Questions about type 1 diabetes
Written by the treating physician. The first one prevents the most wasted trips.
Anyone looking to come off insulin. That is not an outcome this treatment produces, and framing it that way is dangerous. It is also not for anyone with advanced established complications hoping they will be undone, nor for anyone who is not under the care of an endocrinologist.
No. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, and this treatment does not stop that process or give back the function that was lost. It is offered as an adjunct, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling you something that does not exist.
That decision is not ours, and it is not yours on the strength of this page: it belongs to your endocrinologist, with your lab results in front of them. We do not adjust your treatment from a distance.
Which type of diabetes you have, what treatment you are on, what complications you have, and whether you use insulin and how often. With that the physician can tell you whether travelling makes sense.
One or two applications depending on the assessment, and we recommend staying two to four days for the follow-up afterwards.
The first review point is at forty-five days. In some people no change is seen, and that is also a possible outcome we would rather tell you about beforehand.
Send us your MRI and we will tell you if you are a candidate
The assessment is with the specialist who performs this protocol. If your case is outside what it can help, we tell you on the first call.
What we need from you
- An MRI or X-ray less than 12 months old
- A list of the medication you take today
- What you have already tried: physiotherapy, injections, surgery
