[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2669821, member: 527103"] I completely appreciate that Type 1 is a different beast to type 2 so the research is very different. What I have noticed is more research into the cause of Type 1 in order to stop it happening rather than curing it once it has been diagnosed. My expectation is that, at some date, Type 1 may be eradicated. Not through cure but by the last case dying of something else. There has been a joke from before I was diagnosed that Type 1 would have a cure in 10 years. I was diagnosed 20 years ago and the cure is still ten years away. I expect to need to inject insulin for the rest of my life - I do not expect to see the cure. So, to the question of why type 2 cannot be cured, is it because it Is not really known what causes it so we don’t know what to reverse? And is the research into finding that cure and stopping more people from contracting it rather than curing those who do? [/QUOTE]
