the same research that showed that beta cells continue to be produced - even in people with type 1 for over 40 years ALSO proposed that that the cause of Diabetes was what was killing off the cells, if they could stop the killing off then the cells would proliferate ....
I dont have a link but I recall Joslin was involved in at least one part
