A new method published in BioMed Central’s open access journal BMC Medicine , uses stem cells from cord blood in order to re-educate the patient’s faulty T cells and therefore regain the lost pancreatic function leading to a reduced need of insulin injections.

By twelve weeks after the initial treatment all patients presented improved levels of C peptide. This encouraging result was also noted after twenty-four weeks and was maintained until the end of the study. This result translates into a reduced need of insulin injections of the patients included in the study. Simultaneously glycosylated hemoglobin value also decreased for study participants but not for patients in the control group.

Seems to me there's likely more testing and work to be done. Though interesting.
 
Preserving core blood is not cheap but won't break the bank either. Probably not a bad idea if you have certain diseases in the family tree. There's even a slim chance the parents may benefit from it.
