[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 781695, member: 30007"] Well, it's not strictly true that there is no research into the root cause. There has been quite a lot, which is why the various vaccine approaches have been put forward. In summary, based on what I've read and the conversations I've had with a number of consultants, the absolute root cause for auto-immune diabetes is proving extremely hard to pin down, as are the genetic variations that can provide indicators as to who might be susceptible. The vaccines that have been developed only seem to have countered one aspect of the causes of diabetes and as a result, research is still very much ongoing. The difficulty is that the two forms of diabetes aren't necessarily consistent with one another (similar set of symptoms, probably different causes) and the impact of T2 is much more prevalent. From a benefit for buck perspective, fixing T2s followed by fixing T1s followed by stopping the onset altogether is the most useful approach given the current population. In terms of research, we really are still trying to get beyond the Triage stage of treatment! [/QUOTE]
