I have a friend with this disease. Hopefully there will be some marketable results from this soon.
My son has been Type 1 since age 4 (16 years). I have heard of many such “breakthroughs” over the years, but nothing seems to materialize. Diabetes is big business, so methinks that many of these advancements get bought up and suppressed. Yes, I am cynical.
bump for reference
This is HUGE. This fixes the problem with the last big breakthrough over 20 years ago. This one counts imo.
I was told 44 years ago when diagnosed (age 11) not to worry too much about it because there would be a cure within 5 yrs. Who wouldn’t be cynical by now? But this one is so huge. Can’t wait to see what the larger study produces.
To all Type 1 diabetics out there - GET A PUMP. It saved my life and will change yours.
Too much money being made. This therapy won’t see the light of day from the FDA.
Type 2 diabetes affects more people than Type 1 does. Hopefully they will develop a vaccine for the former. It will positively impact society similar to that what the Salk vaccine did when it was first developed.
