I think sinophobia may have gotten the best of you. The study is published in Nature, definitely not a Chinese journal (if this is important to you). Which means the scientists, and institutions are readily accessible, and you can read the paper describing how it works.

Not OP but thanks for sharing a good link.

Technically it is not a cure for type 2. But a repair to further damage caused by a life of type 2.

The type 2 diabetic is still insulin resistant after this treatment. It is just some of the harm that resistance dose to their islet cells. Makeing them partly mimic type 1 diabetes with reduced insulin production. Can be rebuilt with stem cells.

The patient will still need to eat and manage carbs as a well treated type 2 must. To avoid having issues.
