[QUOTE="DunePlodder, post: 833599, member: 25119"] I've been doing this for 20+ years & since first diagnosis there was the promise of a cure in about 5 years. Obviously it hasn't happened BUT I really believe that things are finally starting to improve. Not a cure yet, but faster acting insulins including inhaled ones which don't need to be injected - these will make a big difference. Technology is also improving. Within the next 5 years there should be continuous glucose monitors which don't need blood test calibrations. Inteligent insulin pumps - so called artificial pancreas's - are being trialled. Have a look at [URL]http://diyps.org/2015/01/31/diyps-closed-loop-one-month-of-data-it-still-works-great/[/URL] This is all about a couple who have built their own closed loop artificial pancreas. Look after yourself so that you are healthy enough to take advantage of these advances.. & who knows there may be a cure in say .... 5 years! [/QUOTE]
