Perhaps have a look at the JDRF website for information on current research and developments - http://www.jdrf.org

There is on going research but as far as a cure is concerned dare i say not in our life time.
Through this ongoing research we will get better and more effective medications, delivery mechanisms and management tools.
It has to be said though Diabetes which ever type you have is manageable. I'm not saying that its easy but if you follow all the advice given to you and read some more you can give yourself a much better chance of reducing the chance of complications. Please ask your friend to read this " Think like a Pancreas".

Hi,I've been type1 for close on 55 years and when I was diagnosed I was told that there would be a cure within 10 years.I truly believe that they will evenly find a cure.if you manage this bloody awful disease you can live a full and complication free life,I know I have.zI wish your friend good luck and good Heath.

Unfortunately I believe that there will never be a cure as there is too much money being made by companies such as Novo, and their share holders, on medicines and all the sundries that go along with them.
I have been diagnosed since 1972 and there have been countless cures "just around the corner", since then, yet nothing has really changed.
I just keep myself healthy, not kidding myself that a cure will ever happen... I hope I am wrong!

I don't think there will be a cure as in something that will eliminate it, but I think there will be a "functional cure,", by that I mean a closed loop artificial pancreas, on the market within the next 5 years. I hope so for all our sakes. It would be wonderful.
