When will there be a cure for type 1 diabetes?


Ignore the clowns, Molly. If there were actually a definitive "cure", it’s unlikely that they’d be able to keep that secret for very long.

I’m assuming that you realise [realize, if you're one of my American cousins] that not all type 1 diabetics are born with the condition. In fact, it’s comparatively rare to be born with diabetes mellitus.

I doubt, very much, that it’s going to be within the very near future. (I’ve been waiting almost 30 years now since I was told that there was a cure "just around the corner".)

So far, the "cures" that have come about have tended to be short-lived. They tend not to last for very many years. (These include pancreas transplants and islet cell transplants.) However, various ways at changing how islet cell transplantation are still being investigated, and so is stem cell research. Both of these areas look quite promising.

I do hope that you won’t have much longer to wait.

Be well.

    The only cure for something you are born with is time travel for you and birth control for your parents.
