The claim
German researchers found a lasting cure for diabetes that costs $40,000 in the United States but is free for international patients.
Original review summary
The review says no approved permanent cure for diabetes exists and that the German stem-cell research it describes is experimental, not a treatment available to patients. It also says experimental treatments in Germany are not free for international patients.[S1]
Additional context
The review says the cited $40,000 figure concerns experimental procedures, not an approved diabetes medication; it describes those procedures as requiring substantial out-of-pocket payment in both countries. [S1]
