“Weight-reduction bypass surgery can send diabetes into remission...” at least for some Type II cases - google it.

Does leptin require refrigeration?............

Just another WOW story that will go nowhere but down the deep well of never never land and never be heard of again.

A combo would be phenomenal. I hope that in 5 years they’ll have osmosis spheres of insulin producing cells. Just bring it!

How do they know whether the rodents are dying of diabetes, or just dying? Our gerbils just ... die, after 2-1/2 to 3 years.

I know there seems to be a lot of “WOW stories” lately, with hopes dashed, but they sure are working on this. I feel like we are just around the corner from a cure for this (praying).

What’s new?
Democrats love all kinds of drugs, especially those that will give them extra kick.

Yes but this is for type 1 which has nothing to do with being overwieght and usually strikes children through those before the age of 35.
WOW is right! With all of the new advances I am very hopeful that within my lifetime we just might see a cure. I know I’d love not having to structuure my whole life around this like I have since I was 9 years old.

“Just another WOW story that will go nowhere but down the deep well of never never land and never be heard of again.”
So young and so cynical?
There are ways to raise leptin naturally through diet, exercise, and supplements.
And there is obesity research going on to manipulate leptin levels as well. This may be quite promising for the future.
To: pollwatcher
Just to add: stomach stapling doesn’t have this effect, only the bypass where the first 1 foot of the small intestine is by-passed has this effect.

The problem is that mouse studies are not really good predictors of results in human trials. To give an example, if you’re mouse with cancer there are plenty of cures for you. Humans not so much. Some skepticism is warranted here.

Type I is the title applied to the situation where the body no longer produces insulin. Plenty of older folks with Type II find that as they age they produce less and less insulin. Some, like a couple of cousins of mine, became full fledged Type I diabetics after working through Type II for many years.
Some researchers would like to classify this condition as an entirely different sort of "disease", like a Type I and a half maybe.

I do not see a cure happening anytime soon. With the Drug Corps getting darn near a dollar per test strip, why kill a hot revenue stream?
