Probably not. Sad, but I've been hearing a cure is just around the corner for 26 years.

I remain hopeful but realistic that it may not happen. While it's true diabetes management is big business, a cure could also mean big money to the people that figure it out. Engene has been doing some interesting research www.engeneinc.com. My endo who is very well known throughout the world for his research says the "cure" for diabetes will come in the form of an artificial pancreas i.e. closed loop pump/CGM.

I'm going say yes. i think it could happen but not in the next 10yrs.

I have to say "NO", due to insurance companies will loose money off of us, along with the drug companies, doctors and hosptials will have to take a pay cut.

If there was a cure, there should have been one found out by now with all the money, the research, the advanced technology that have evolved in the last several of years.
