At which point patients will start getting the lawyers out and suing doctors and psizer (however you spell it) for long term problems they will develop down the years for having a high A1C for such a long time when it should have been brought down.

Exactly. I want my NI contributions to pay for helping sick people get better, not to fund compensation payouts. And clearly the NHS must be aware of such opinions.

Now it's such a part of my life that the day a cure will be found (I pray every day for the sake of all of us that they do) I will still be looking for syringes to stab myself with

Yeah, that's going to be a
very weird day. Even after I'm cured I still think I'm going to spend the rest of my life thinking every couple of seconds about my blood sugar and what I've just eaten and so forth.
Here's a thought though - the day they find a cure and get it out to all of us, you're all invited to a party at my place, where it'll be mandatory for each guest to drink a gallon of regular soft drink and a eat whole chocolate cake. And then we can have a massively unsanitary and unsafe bonfire made up of all our test strips and needles and pens and vials and cartridges and all the rest, and then we'll toast marshmallows on that bonfire.
BYOB, mind you.
