They have not only managed to halt the disease in mice but also reversed it.

Human trials will start shortly and, if they are successful, relief could be in sight for 350,000 sufferers in Britain and 194million worldwide.

It could also lift a huge burden from the NHS - experts say treating the disease will account for a fifth of all health service spending by 2010.

The breakthrough was made by American researchers who injected diabetic mice with spleen cells from healthy animals.

'But this research is in the very early stages and a lot more work still needs to be done.'

At this stage, the research has focused on Type-1 diabetes, which usually affects children and young adults.

Sufferers do not produce enough insulin, the hormone which helps break down glucose, and without regular injections they would die.
