I've read that they are working on a way to develop stem cells from skin cells. Then if they can create islet cells from the stem cells, and figure out the encapsulating technology, it would seem very hopeful for a non-insulin dependent treatment, maybe in the not too-distant future.

Another approach would be figuring out why the auto-immune attack is happening in the first place, and figuring out how to stop it.
