[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1675803, member: 438800"] I echo the posters who have remarked on the quality of the posts in this thread. When I started the thread, little did I know that it would be so popular and informative. I feel quite sparsely informed compared to many of the contributors. Synthesizing some of the answers to the original question, a cure for diabetes would: --Be permanent i.e. work for the rest of your life (and the cure should not be dangerous in itself). --Allow the consumption of a "normal" quantity of carbs (defining "normal" is really hard!). --Be effective even if one becomes ill with other moderate or serious illnesses, with BS spikes not greater than those observed in non-diabetic people. That's my definition, so far. We are not even remotely anwhere near achieving such a cure. I think it all goes back to what "causes" T2 which means that a cure would need to work directly on the mechanism of T2 rather than merely treating its symptoms, and "cure" the mechanism definitively.
