| You are absolutely right! The last thing the medical establishment wants is a cure for diabetes. There are huge vested interests in its ongoing treatment. Which is why the cure, if and when it does come, will come from the outside. Big pharmaceutical companies like Lilly, Novo and Pfizer won't provide any of the funding. They will do their best to discredit a "cure", in the interests of maximising Humalog, Novolog and Lipitor sales.
Having said that, a lot of money will be made by whoever does find a cure. And this prospect is enough to attract a huge amount of creative effort and resources. I don't believe co-ordinated action by diabetics is required. But we need to be aware of research that is taking place. And we need to question what we are being told by the so-called medical profession.
I am frequently reminded of the fact that pharmaceutical companies ultimately fund most medical research. And that doctors are heavily influenced by information these companies directly or indirectly dish up. After 27 years of being T1, my faith in the medical profession has sunk to an all-time low. But don't get me started on that ...
