[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1228043, member: 295621"] A cure may be 10 years away, equally it could be 100. Although the latter is unlikely:) The best approach going forward is to have your body (in this case your daughter's) in the best nick possible for the time the cure arrives. This means gaining as a tight a control as possible so that the complications are fended off. As mentioned, there are so many great technologies on the market now that have come such a long way even in the last 5 years! The most important thing is, even so young, your daughter has grabbed the bull by the horns and is getting the job done:) The most exciting news I've read to date is with regards to islet transplants. The procedure, although not a cure for the type 1 causing immune system defect, is still a huge step forward - although not out of trial stage as far as I'm aware. But think of it this way, if diabetes can be temporarily stopped even now, then surely we mustn't be far away from a permanent solution!

At least we're still alive:) Edited by a mod Grant [/QUOTE]
