BCG vaccine leads to long-term improvement in blood sugar levels in type 1 diabetes patients (post)
Long-term follow-up of participants in clinical trials of a generic vaccine to reverse advanced type 1 diabetes finds significant clinical benefits, including restoration of near-normal blood sugar levels.
