NRM: Canadian team cracks type I diabetes code

Thanks, Erich. This article explains it much better than any of the others I've read. Unfortunately perhaps, it explains in more detail why it may not be a cure of all of us. However, as mentioned, it "opens up an entirely new field of investigations in type l and possibly type ll diabetes, as well as tissue selective autoimmunity in general." Here's hoping something good comes from this -- hopefully soon.

But this maybe a cure for some from what they have found not all diabeties is directly linked to the nervous system but the ones that are this is very promissing. I hope and pray that this is just the start of some great things to come.

Hi Mom. What you say about any eventual cure evolving from this research maybe not being a cure for everyone with type 1 backs up the information from the link Erich provided. Too bad for some, but hopefully it will lead to a cure for at least some of us.

How old was your daughter when she was diagnosed?
