1. A method for the treatment of a mammal having pre-diabetes or diabetes, comprising:
administering an effective amount of mammalian MGE (medial ganglionic eminence) precursor cells to one or more of an arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus region of the brain, the mediobasal hypothalamus region of the brain, and the ventromedial hypothalamus region of the brain, wherein the mammalian MGE precursor cells form interneurons that functionally integrate with endogenous neurons such that an improvement in the symptoms of prediabetes or diabetes in the treated mammal is achieved.
