[QUOTE="RobynV, post: 2648233, member: 581272"] I have several autoimmune things - psoriatic arthritis (PsA) 4 yrs ago (I’m 64). UC in past. Now low thyroid and Hashimoto’s. Not sure which kind of diabetes. List expanding. I know this is a diabetes forum - but… are the majority of diabetics ‘only’ diabetic? ie In isolation? Those pple are ‘lucky’ (not minimising anyone’s anguish here). I’m on a ‘biological’ (Tremfya - anti Interleukin 23.) Had terrible vision /balance/ hearing issues. Improved. My biology won’t process / digest only proteins and fat. You need right DNA to make the right enzymes in quantity. Or your immune system may kick up and make you sicker. You can tinker round the edges of your DNA (ie epigenetics - how environment alters genes). But you can’t ‘train up’ what you don’t have in the first place. You can pay for tests (if you have a little money) - to find out about SOME of your DNA driven metabolic tendencies - as well as immune ones. May save time and stress in food experimentation possibly. Autoimmune diseases make many blood tests unreliable. Incl the Hb1Ac test. There’s a big interpretive reliance on that number… it’s useful to know this if you have autoimmune issues. (Other factors also affect Hb1Ac. The list is surprisingly long.) Sorry if this is repeats info elsewhere. I applaud support on this forum for not accepting blindly everything you’re told by medicos. Self help through shared experience is clearly making a huge difference to pple.. Equally - I feel for this poster - who was just trying to explain. I got your message. Thank you. Pancreas islets have been successfully transplanted in humans. This IS a cure for T1. Early research (trials) - 5 yr success rate ca 70% in suitable candidates. Caveats. Saying it can’t/ won’t be cured is not correct. When will it be routine? Don’t know. Some pple will never be eligible. But we didn’t transplant hearts not so long ago. Then there is stem cell therapy… I don’t know if I’m allowed to post links - in case not - search on Islets transplantation - 8 Aug 2023.
