so far there is not a cure but there is research most notably training skin cells to produce insulin and implanting them in the liver were antibodies cant harm them

Type 1 Diabidis results from an incompetant pancrease, specifically it’s Beta cells. It’s a disease you’re born with, trying to change it is like trying to take out some sour milk from dough AFTER you’ve baked the cake.

If you do a web search you will find many "herbal" or "natural" cures for Type 1, they are not evaluated by the FDA and are scams. Pretty dangerous scams, to be specific.

I think the only way to "cure" Type 1 diabetes is a pancreas transplant.
Maybe in the future they’re perfect some kind of gene therapy that will produce functional Beta cells to replace the faulty ones. Until then, there’s just Humalin and NPH.
