Hmmm... I work for a company that produces insulin pumps. I also have a son with type 1 diabetes.
Do you think I would deep six a cure for diabetes just to save my job?
I have two kids with type 1. I’m guessing the CEOs do not have children with this disease.
There was a study out of Canada where they neutralized pain-nerves of the pancreas and stopped diabetes. From the National Post:

In a discovery that has stunned even those behind it, scientists at a Toronto hospital say they have proof the body’s nervous system helps trigger diabetes, opening the door to a potential near-cure of the disease that affects millions of Canadians.
Diabetic mice became healthy virtually overnight after researchers injected a substance to counteract the effect of malfunctioning pain neurons in the pancreas. “I couldn’t believe it,” said Dr. Michael Salter, a pain expert at the Hospital for Sick Children and one of the scientists. “Mice with diabetes suddenly didn’t have diabetes any more.”
Shhhhh . . . . . .
