I’ve seen a lot of advances since I was diagnosed 30 years ago, with regards to treatment. 30 years ago we didn’t have the DCCT: there was no proof at all that controlling bg’s would help at all in the long term. 30 years ago home bg testing was not at all common. Today MDI and pumps are common - nobody was doing these 30 years ago. There have been many fundamental changes in the way diabetics think about not just control, but life.
But with regards to a cure… I have a hard time seeing how anything might help me. Just my cynicism. I will be happy to be proved wrong!
