[QUOTE="TypeZero., post: 2284947, member: 525950"] A significant portion of funding for research and development comes from the government. I’m sure you agree the government would rather fund a cure rather than fund a lifetime supply of insulin. The issue is not enough T1 diabetics for clinical studies to figure out specifically what causes T1D, there are already some strong contenders like a virus e.g. Coxsackie virus B but no definitive clear cause we can say “yep this is what causes it” We can technically be cured by having a pancreas transplant or having beta cell transplantation but you will need a lifetime supply of immunosuppressants. The current focus of research is how to heal the immune system or prevent implanted beta cells from being destroyed. Be positive: 49 years ago there was no.. Dexcom or Libre Insulin pumps Rapid acting insulin like NovoRapid Home glucose meters Understanding of antibodies involved Causes [/QUOTE]
