It's a bit poorly-worded...but looks like it says the therapy does 2 things: 1) It expresses the insulin-producing genes (insulin is the protein hormone that binds with glucose in the blood to convert it to ATP, or energy), and 2) it expresses the Glucokinase genes (Glucokinase is a hormone that regulate glucose uptake from the blood).
(I know you're type 1 - me, too - but wanted to explain it further for those who don't know how it works.)
Agreed on the hormone imbalance side of things. The Glucagon issue seems very real. However, if it's in essence stimulating insulin production as well as improving the glucose uptake, then that in turn should balance the blood sugar effects of Glucagon. As for the other effects, though...that definitely remains to be seen.
