[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1439395, member: 374531"] Insulin seems so, so obvious now, but reading back over the history of it, D baffled the medical profession for thousands of years, and then, all of a sudden, in the space of a few years, Banting discovered it, Lilly made it and it was on the market. Extraordinary. I'm reasonably content with my T1, all things considered, but I can imagine medical historians in a hundred years time writing about how in year 20xx, some random dude figured out this chemical and that chemical, hey presto , T1 cure. To those future people, it will seem just as obvious as insulin is to us now. Anyone who thinks T1 will never be cured is in the same boat as the people who said heavier than air flight is impossible. We all might be long gone before it happens, but it will happen: we've barely scratched the surface of medicine. I'm not going to be placing any bets on Faustman, but she's having a stab at it, so respect. And to all the other scientists working away at this for us. Anyway, she's got wonderful, all over the place "mad scientist" hair, so maybe that improves the chances! Anyone with big hair gets my vote. [ATTACH=full]22567[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
