Heres a good one, to keep hopes up. When your cured what will you do? Think about it... if one day bam... no diabetes. What would you do?

I would drink alcohol more probably- i rarely drink because of the diabetes.

I will be happy to not have to spend so much money on medicine and will sleep better knowing that my pump won't be digging into my hip, thigh, tummy, shoulder...
Other than that... I am not sure I would do anything really different other than not have to count carbs (although I'd still have to watch what I eat to keep from packing on the pounds). I might run a marathon, knowing that I wouldn't have to deal with low BG throughout the training/race.

I would double the time of my usual run then enjoy a long, long (like real long) soak in the hot tub....and this would be great because I wouldn't have to worry about my pod falling off. Ever again.
