Why scientists so far can not find a comprehensive solution for diabetes

If there is one explanation If so, the patient will return to normal once blood sugar returns to normal This is contrary to the word that diabetes is a chronic disease

Not really, in medical terms the use of the word 'chronic' simply means it lasts more than 3 months.

Type 2 Diabetes Isn’t Always Caused by Insulin Resistance
Insulin resistance is the most common cause of type 2 diabetes, but it is possible to have type 2 and not be insulin resistant. You can have a form of type 2 where you body simply doesn’t produce enough insulin; that’s not as common. Researchers aren’t sure what exactly keeps some people from producing enough insulin, but that’s another thing they’re working hard to figure out.

Hi, Did you mean the use of external insulin for patients Type II diabetes is a waste of time and that diet style is the solution

No sorry that was a rushed post. I don't believe that everyone who is diagnosed with t2d has the same condition. I was diagnosed 11 years ago and don't believe that I don't produce enough insulin, I believe that I am insulin resistant so I am only talking from my own perspective. My diagnosis was based on the only teat I have ever had. Blood glucose level. I have never has a glucose tolerance test or ever had my insulin levels checked. Absolutely, clearly and obviously external insulin works for those people who have an insulin deficiency. But for those who have too much insulin, throwing more at it is not going to work, or so my logic and experience show me.

Many type 2 diabetes patients suffer from obesity and this is evidence of a large amount of insulin and therefore use the outer insulin, which works efficiently sometimes
 
Hi, i'm not sure if anyone seen my post earliar, but I have taken time to reflect and I would like to offer my apologies, to whom it was directed, and forum staff. I don't know what came over me.
 
For me I am highly insulin resistant mainly due to my body weight. Fat and muscle. Higher than just being regularly IR. Hence importance of bariatric op to reduce my excessive weight. However additionally I'm a type2 where insulin pathways are disturbed and therefore my metabolism is out of sync. Hormones are over produced which cause weight gain. Insulin is one and mine isn't converted into energy fully. Thyroxine neither. Testosterone is over produced due to IR which causes PCOS too.
IR causes much more than just type2 diabetes. Baldness in some men, it seems.
 
It's a general rule if you want to sell your glass broken windows of the houses
It's a link to pharmaceutical companies with diabetes

I don't entirely agree - your comment assumes that 'the cure' would be developed by 1 of the companies that currently produces insulin and they would therefore be curing their own patients.

There is much talk at the moment of a preventative vaccine, and if this was developed and patented by a non-insulin producing company (and I'd go as far as saying that this is actually more likely) said company would be laughing all the way to bank.

How can companys produce a vaccine as a preventative if they dont know what causes it i am a type 1

Hi
Do you think there is a convincing reason why there is no solution so far?
Please look at the video You may understand why so far there is no solution

If the vaccine works by protecting the beta cells from GAD antibodies then the T1 trigger becomes less of an issue. Of course not all T1's test GAD positive but the majority do. So any vaccine probably wouldn't work for everybody.

I doubt a vaccine could cure an autoimmune disease myself.

Probably true. But as I understand the proposal, it's not intended to be a cure for those who already have diabetes. It would prevent new occurrences by protecting beta cells.

1/ Scientists only investigate what they are paid to investigate.
2/ Type 2 is historically viewed as a self inflicted disease.
3/ The small number of T1's is (was) relatively easy to mange without ploughing billions into finding a cure.
4/ Cost wise, diabetes has until fairly recently, not placed much of a burden on the health system in comparison to some other diseases, cancer for instance ( - which affects 1 in 3 people statistically).

It is now recognised that whilst T2 may be the result of lifestyle choices for some individuals, there are many for whom lifestyle is not attributable. Over past decades, billions have been spent on cancer research and I would suspect that the money being spent on diabetes research is almost insignificant in comparison.

With the prospect of diabetes becoming global issue where the number of affected people is growing exponentially, we will see more funding going into the research and hopefully we'll see some benefits in the coming years.

It would be great. Wouldn't they need to create a vaccine for each individual type 1 diabetic depening on their DNA? As GAD antibodies are surely unique to their host? making it very difficult to find a 1 vaccine fits all solution. Something which protects against my GAD antibodies wouldnt necessarily protect against yours, or would it?
 
Diabetes.png I have discounted this virtual and i Don t know if it was true
I Don t really know if anyone has been diagnosed with high insulin glucose before they are diagnosed with diabetes type 2 When he was a healthy person

Yes. As I understand it (and I'm not claiming to be an expert) any vaccine would somehow boost your protective T-cells.
