If I find any others I will post them. Most are in early stages. 28 years ago when I was first diagnosed with it I thought there would be a cure by now, but I am not holding my breath since treatment makes more money then cures!

To me the two things to watch are the artificial pancreas (closed loop system) and Smart Insulin. Sorry, no links.

I have heard about the closed loop systems and the smart insulin. That looks promising. So the future does like bright!

Haven’t you heard that the latest breakthrough is only five years away? My hope is on Smart Insulin, Dr. Faustman’s research & LCT’s Diabecell. Cerco Medical’s research is promising http://isletmedical.com/. Scott King, the force behind it, is a T1.

I have little faith in the success of the AP & wish its untold millions were spent elsewhere. Even if it comes to market, not something most could afford.
