[QUOTE="Charles Robin, post: 775676, member: 92241"] My personal view on a cure: IT'S POSSIBLE. Think about the doctors doing research. If you found a cure for diabetes, it would cement your place in history. At that point, your main problem would be finding someone to build you a big enough mantle piece. Because my goodness you would need the space for the cascade of awards you would receive. Drugs companies are big and faceless. However, they are made up of a huge, huge number of individuals. Personally, I have never looked forward to a cure. If it happens, I will happily get in line. In the meantime, the best thing to do is manage blood sugars as best as we possibly can. Many conditions don't have that luxury. Allowing a few extra minutes to test, to log and to learn from the data is all it takes, really. There are huge, huge numbers of ways to treat diabetes. Finding your tablets aren't woking? Try something else. If you're a type 1 like me, or type 2 on insulin, there are insulin advances all the time. Having too many hypos? Adjust your dose, or try a different insulin. If that doesn't work, look at your diet/exercise regime. If you feel like you are pestering your health team, you are probably spending the correct amount of time on your diabetes. Diabetes management will never be simple. But I get far more stressed over doing my taxes. Fingers crossed a cure comes round, but until that day, let's all be organised and integrate control into our routine :). [/QUOTE]
