[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 1817606, member: 365308"] Thanks for posting this and it does look hopeful. To note that this is a small study but is in humans not mice and is to be expanded. The article mentions work in Italy and Australia with reference to other autoimmune diseases such as MS and food allergy. Both these countries use bcg so I am guessing the treatment is hypothesised to work even if the patients have been exposed to the TB virus via vaccination. I am a type 1 and did get a bcg 3 years into my diagnosis. Not cured but totally up for a life with less endogenous insulin. BTW it bugs me that whilst I share the opinion that type 2 diabetes drugs represent huge profit vehicles for big pharma, it was a big pharma/biotech firm that genetically engineered the insulin I take today. A good thing when you think of the thousands of pigs whose pancreases would need to be mashed to produce what the world needs today. [/QUOTE]
