A stem cell drip for diabetes administers cells systemically, and the first question to raise is what specifically it is intended to affect. Blood glucose control, insulin requirement, and complications such as neuropathy or circulation problems are separate targets with separate evidence bases behind them.
Ask which type of diabetes the plan addresses and what result would be considered meaningful. Clarify how it would be measured, since laboratory markers and reported symptoms may move differently. Ask also over what period assessment would take place, as changes in glucose control are judged across months rather than days.
Existing diabetes management must continue unchanged unless your specialist advises otherwise. Find out how the clinic coordinates with the physician managing your diabetes and whether records will be shared. Any adjustment to insulin or oral medication should follow specialist review rather than anticipation of what the treatment might achieve. Ask also whether more frequent glucose monitoring is advised in the period after treatment, and what readings would prompt contacting someone.
