[QUOTE="MarkMunday, post: 2301632, member: 525839"] Yes, there is a lot of money in treating T1 and that is what pharmaceutical companies are chasing. But then pharmaceutical companies don't do the research anyway. It is done at universities and by independent researchers. Pharmaceutical companies only get involved when there is something promising enough for clinical trials to be done. They buy up the research company and attempt to take the innovation to market. The clinical trials are expensive and the success rate is low, so pharmaceutical companies are very selective. Throwing more money at the research won't make it more productive. The cause of T1 diabetes is still not fully understood. It is a complex condition and that a cure has not been found is really not surprising. While research will continue, a cure for T1 diabetes is still very far off. Probably not in my lifetime. [/QUOTE]
