No, it's not a cure, but I do think this may be a better therapy than synthetic insulin. A 40% reduction in insulin requirements would mean most Type 1 diabetics could completely get off their basil and only bolus for meals. I think this is the best new therapy for T1 diabetics since the invention of insulin. I'd like fellow FReepers' thoughts!

Is this treatment for insulin-dependent diabetics only? My husband is Type II and takes GlucoVance 250 2X daily. His last a1C was 5.8. He is hoping to be able to control his sugar with diet and exercise only within 6 months. He was diagnosed 9 months ago when his a1C was 13.9.
