What are the peer reviews analyzing? What are peer replications arriving at?
I just wonder if this is much like the room temperature fusion device those guys (Fleishmann & Ponds) in Salt Lake City about 20 years back had the country all abuzz.
I think I will take a dose of capsacin tea now before I go nighty night.

| | I will bet that as this 'discovery' comes more into the light, those behind it will come to the same place as Faustman, will take a lot of time and money to get the human trials underway.
Let's all hope and pray the time will not be measured in decades and the money will be found.
The real good news here is that now two separate sources have 'cured' diabetes in mice. That bodes well for the population of diabetic mice anyway.

Hi! I think this is wonderful news - whether for newly diagnosed or all of us!
I am new here and have just found this forum for dibetics. This really looks like a great place and someplace I've been looking to find for years. |

| | | Who is the ADA working for?
Out of curiosity, I looked to see if the ADA had this information on their "Diabetes News" section of their website. And to my astonishment (sarcasm), no information on this research. Only new ways to treat diabetes. Makes you wonder if they really want to find a cure.  |

| | "The researchers caution they have yet to confirm their findings in people, but say they expect results from human studies within a year or so. Any treatment that may emerge to help at least some patients would likely be years away from hitting the market."
Well that sorta sucks. Sweet we have to wait another 10 years.  |

| | They also discovered that their treatments curbed the insulin resistance that is the hallmark of Type 2 diabetes, and that insulin resistance is a major factor in Type 1 diabetes, suggesting the two illnesses are quite similar.
This looks like a great discovery and although it may not cure me but perhaps if my children and/or grandchildren are unlucky enough to become diabetic - who knows what cures the future may bring ?  .
