No, I think you are mistaken. The pancreases keep trying to produce beta cells (insulin producers) but the nerve inflammation causes the new betas to be killed off. Once the inflammation is stopped with the capsaicin, the new betas get to work and make insulin, even in someone with D for a long time.

The trick will probably be getting the nerves to STAY uninflamed. I imagine that a shot for that nerve cluster is even harder than not bruising myself with a mealtime bolus... The technique of applying this medicine may take a little while, but the mechanism seems to be very promising.

If I remember right, this may also relate to multiple sclerosis - I'm not sure where I heard that part, though.
