New Beta-Cs

Found a very exciting report about a protocol that regenerates
pancreatic beta-cells in experimental mice. And it holds for both
diabetic 2 (insulin resistance) and diabetic 1(destroyed beta cells) mice.

days of normal eating: the beta cells regenerate after the low-calorie
(one third of normal calorie intake) and refeeding resumes.

This appears very exciting, especially for those with D1. As always, though,
the mechanism that causes auto-immune destruction hasn't been identified.
