    Type 1 diabetes cure

    Hmmmmmm....Nope. 49 years type 1 now and have heard of so many so called cures are going to be hear in ten years time. As has been said tech will get better and better making T1D easier to live with, as for a cure, it's not going to happen. Will keep on saying it there is no money in a cure
