very important for managing diabetes. This is going to especially be the case with regards to type 2 diabetes, as regular exercise is among the simplest way to maintain blood sugar control.

Thank you for your comment M. Ritter. If you read the comment I have written above from April 16th, you will see the link between embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells and my reason for the way I wrote this article. I thoroughly replied to a similar comment above.

The article quoted was from the “Times Online” in the UK and states thirteen of fifteen people were “cured” of there type 1 diabetes. This Blog leads one to believe that embrionic stem cells are the cure when the information in the quoted article it is clearly stated that adult stem cells harvested from the patients themselves were then reintroduced with successful results. NO embrionic stem cells were used.

Thank you for your comment Tony. You are absolutely correct. This method uses adult stem ells rather than embryonic stem cells and the ESC policy will not be DIRECTLY affected by this research. However, it has been shown that the general public doesn’t have adequate knowledge of the difference between embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells, or a clear understanding of what stem cells really are. Therefore, support for adult stem cell research also spurs support for embryonic stem cell research (with the idea that the general public doesn’t have a clear distinction between these types of stem cells.

Thank you very much for bringing that up, perhaps I should write about the differences between them and basics about stem cells.

Additionally, you should note that although the ESC policy will not speed up these discoveries, the policy can help push all types of stem cell research further since it is all (at the fundamental stage) tied together.

This has nothing to do with the policy to limit federal funding for embrionic stem cell research to existing cell lines. In fact this method uses adult stem cells. If the embrionic stem cell policy was revised it would not speed up discoveries.
