[QUOTE="Becca, post: 141536, member: 22754"] Even if there are worthy researchers doing work on cures for type I (we periodically hear scraps of information about encouraging results in this field) the pharmaceutical companies vested interests mean that it's unlikely to make it into the open market for a long long time. Remember these are the guys who stop selling insulin to Greece because the price would be too low, and would cause them to lose money - they don't have a humanitarian remit! When I got diagnosed, my diabetic specialist GP (who is also a type I), said I was "really lucky" because a cure would "certainly" be found in my lifetime. I said pretty much what Joelcam said, and he accused me of being a conspiracy theorist! :D Even though that made me laugh and shut me up, I still think that I'm right. I'd love to believe that one day there'll be some once off injection to restart the pancreas, but in the meantime it's plough on with the daily stabs and dreams of creme eggs... [/QUOTE]
