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
I think you mean type 1.5 LADA but this is Different between type 2
I have never heard of this before, do you have a link to some scientific references that I can read?Once secreted, insulin won't be secreted for another 55 minutes.
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.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
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 sometimesNo sorry that was a rushed post.

This is perfectly logicalbut that’s another thing they’re working hard to figure out.
How can companys produce a vaccine as a preventative if they dont know what causes it i am a type 1I 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.
HiHow can companys produce a vaccine as a preventative if they dont know what causes it i am a type 1
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.How can companys produce a vaccine as a preventative if they dont know what causes it i am a type 1
I doubt a vaccine could cure an autoimmune disease myself.
Sadly cancer rates (in the UK) are 1 in 2 https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/ab...02-04-1-in-2-people-in-the-uk-will-get-cancer1/ 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.

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.
That's a forecast, not the current state.Sadly cancer rates (in the UK) are 1 in 2 https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/ab...02-04-1-in-2-people-in-the-uk-will-get-cancer
Everyone (no far) says fat cells interfere with insulin's pathway.Exactly, why do we become insulin resistant in the first instance.
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?
