Q: is there diabetes type 1 cure?10 pts?
is there diabetes type 1 cure? if link plz give
A: Not at the mo' but there's tonnes of research going on so there's bound to be in the next few years. They can do a pancreatic transplant but your immune system would end up destroying that anyway. They can also inject stem cells into the pancreas so they'd grow back into beta cells but, again, your immune system would end up destroying that.
Just wait a few years, there's bound to be something :D
Hope I helped
Q: Can the cord blood of an infant be used to cure or treat type 1 diabetes in the infant's mother?
My wife has type 1 diabetes. We are expecting our first child and have heard many of the wonderous medical miracles of cord blood. But can the cord blood be used by my wife to treat (or even cure) her type 1 diabetes?
A: This is NOT one of the "miracles" of cord blood.
There is some promising research into using stem cells to cure Type 1 diabetes, but that work is still in its infancy, So far, diabetes has been cured with stem cells in a few lab rats. [ADULT stem cells were used, not embryonic stem cells] It is a LONG journey from lab rats to humans! IF this proves effective in humans, the testing, clinical trials, and FDA approval for treatment is still 20-30 years away.
Q: Does anyone know anything about a diabetes cure/ latest news (type 1)?
Im just wondering if there might have been any latest news about any type 1 diabetes cure, cause ive been waiting for 16 years... I dont care if it might be about a vaccine that might have worked in a mouse, i just want some news; latest news?? and please list a source where u found it or how u found it... thanx
A: The most promising news comes from Boston's Dr. Denise Faustman. One of her biggest advocates is a type one, Allie Beatty.
Check Allie out here: http://www.alliesvoice.com
Denise Faustman: http://www.faustmanlab.org/research.html
The sad thing is, despite their mission statement, the JDRF won't help her with funding. She's only asking for 2 mil. The JDRF gave out something like 160 mil last year. The good news is, Lee Iacocca, who's wife died from T1DM, gave his money and his name to Faustman's research.
If you would like more info, email me.
Q: What kind of experimental research is going on for the cure of diabetes type 1 (juvenile onset)?
and what have the results been?
♥☆ɱʀ§. Ʀ○ʃϱ☆♥ - Nothing is wrong with my hair, you're just a simple-minded b*tch
Narvegiy... - That link just took me to a Mexican pharmacy. It is not what I am looking for.
Atheist Bean - That is amazing.
A: All across the US and in Canada the National Institute of Health is working on transplanting Islet Cells, the cells that make insulin in the human body.
I was involved in one of the clinical trials in Philadelphia. They were having great success in Philly. The doctors have already cured 3 people of type 1 diabetes. There are still many problems with islet transplantion that the doctors across the country are trying to solve by doing these clinical trials. The goal is to make type 1 diabetes a thing of the past.
By the way, anyone interested in getting involved, like I was, google 'islet transplant clinical trials'. They are still looking for people to cure. I unfortunately couldn't go through with the transplant because of antigens from being pregnant.
Q: When can we expect a cure for type 1 diabetes?
If at all? And I mean a proper tested cure avalible to the public.
A: It's been "around the corner" for years. I don't expect a cure any time soon, but companies are getting closer and closer to an "artificial pancreas". The idea is to have a unit that can test sugar and provide appropriate insulin automatically. That will be close to a cure. Stem cell research may provide good treatment options someday, but that research is in its infancy.
To help find a cure, participate in JDRF fundraising events as much as possible. This doesn't have to cost you a cent, because they are always looking for volunteers to work at the events.
Q: Do you think a cure for type 1 diabetes is close or is there one already that is being hidden?
There has been controversial discussion that there is a cure ad that the goverment is covering it up because its a multi-billion dollar industry. What are your thoughts on this?
A: We need to recognize that the companies that profit from diabetes (pharmaceutical companies, insulin manufacturers, pump manufacturers, supply companies) aren't going to help find a cure. It's not in their business model, and it makes no sense to expect them to participate other than for PR purposes. It's going to be up to the universities and research centers to come through with a cure. But I can't imagine someone has discovered a cure and is withholding it. A discovery like that means big money to an organization, so they're not going to keep quiet. Until then, the best hope we have is islet cell transplants. But until they can figure out how to minimize the anti-rejection drugs you have to take, how to get a large supply of these cells, and how to make the cells last, we just have to wait. A cure has been "right around the corner" the whole 24 years I've had it, and long before that, so I don't expect a cure within my lifetime. Not holding my breath.
Q: What is the guaranteed cure for type 1 diabetes?
If someone out there knows the answer. I too would like to know.
A: there is no cure for Diabetes...yet
Q: How many years away do you think we are for a cure for diabetes type 1?
A: There will never be a cure for anything,although there really are natural cures that they don't want you to know about.If they cured disases the drug companys wouldn't make much money.The only cures you find will be natural cures but if they tell you it will cure a disease the FDA will call it an unapproved drug and will prosecute them.The FDA says if you say something will cure a disease then it is classified as a drug.The FDA says there are no natural cures,they say only drugs and surgery can cure a disease. >
Q: do u know about the new way for cure of diabetes type 1 for children has 7 years old?
i looking for definite cure, not about control of diabeted type 1. please informe me for any vaccine or drug for definite cure. thankf
A: At this time, there IS NO DEFINITE CURE.
But on the horizon are some new possibilities that are STILL in the animal testing stages.
The first uses adult stem cells to regrow the Islet Cells in your pancreas that produce insulin. This has worked IN MICE -- but is a LONG way from being given to humans. IF this proves effective in HUMANS, then a commercial treatment is still 15-20 years away.
A Pancreas Transplant is a possibility, but is very very dangerous. Pancreas Transplant is the least effective of all the transplanted organ. Heart transplants easily live 10-15 years longer. Kidney transplants live 15-30 years longer.
But pancreas transplant live only 5-7 years longer. In fact, more than 50% of the patients are dead within 5 years. Therefore, most doctors will NOT do a pancreas transplant unless the patient is going to die anyway. In this case, even a couple of years longer is better than nothing.
But Type 1 Diabetes in a 7-year-old is EASILY treatable with insulin, diet, and exercise. NO doctor would recommend a transplant to an otherwise healthy patient!
There are some other possibilities, but they are are even more unsure, and have MANY years of experiment to go through before humans can be involved.
In the mean time, the 7-year-old needs to learn what CAN and CANNOT be eaten, and that the medication are KEEPING HER ALIVE, and without them shot she WILL die.
Q: how long do you think it will take to find a cure for type 1 diabetes?
because i really want to join the marines!
A: I have a tendancy to agree with the others that they already have a cure, but just aren't willing to release it to the public because of the $$$$ they make off of us who can not survive without our insulin and our pills to keep us running. However, the islet cells they have transplanted are inspiring and even better the ones that they can take from our own bodies and "reprogram" them to make insulin! The fact that we know this is hopefull and I think its possible in the next 15-20 years or less that we'll either have a cure or atleast this disease will be much more manageable as well as the cures and treatments of its nasty side effects. Hang in there your not alone! : )
Q: why can't you cure diabetes (type 1)?
the title says it all..why can't you? can't doctors inject something into your body that produces insulin correctly? or a transplant? or something?
(oh, please don't say "they'll never be a cure", you'll just make me fell bad for myself..ugh, sorry if i sound like a brat)
A: In normally healthy people, insulin is produced by certain special cells. In diabetics, either those cells don't produce enough insulin, or they don't produce any insulin at all.
Transplants work...sort of. Usually diabetics don't get transplants of just those insulin producing cells, because a transplant patient has to be on an even more regimented treatment plan than a diabetic. So if a diabetic needs a transplant of some other organ, s/he might very well get a transplant of those cells, as well, because s/he'll have to take anti-rejection medicines and do all that other stuff anyway.
I think that there WILL be a cure. I have no idea when. I think that we should be doing a lot more research with stem cells.
Q: When will they find the cure for Diabetes? (Type 1)?
I have had diabetes for almost 5 years now and its getting old... When are they supposed to discover the cure? Are they at least close???
A: Never !! The drug companies make so much profit from diabetes that they would be silly to find a cure. Period. >
Q: Does Type 1 Diabetes have a cure?
Some of us know Nick Jonas has Diabetes, and his song about theres a cure for Type 1 Diabetes. is that true is there a cure? cause i might get Diabetes and im not fat. im really skinny im 5 foot 3/93.8 pounds and im 12 years old until September 25 i turn 13.
Im just really curious. and if you could, can you list everything you know about Type 1 Diabetes even the type of routine you have to go through to keep yourself from being sick of this.
and can Type 1 Diabetes kill you?
List everything and anything you know.
A: There is a cure for type one, it just hasn't been 'discovered' yet. Dr. Denise Faustman is apparently very close. So close, in fact, that organizations that depend on us diabetics for their income, like the JDRF, and various pharmaceutical companies, won't fund her research because it might put them out of business. See source:
Q: JDRF: Walk to find the cure for Type 1 Diabetes!!!!!?
On October 11th, 2008, millions will join us in Virginia Beach to walk to find the cure for Type 1 Diabetes. Please help my team raise money. http://walk.jdrf.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=extranet.personalpage&confirmid=87046854 that is my teams site, please help save millions a year.
A: I can't wait till they find a cure for type 1 diabetes. Wish the government would invest more money for research. Good luck getting donations. This is a good cause.
Q: What is the latest kind of medicines and the best cure for a diabetes type 1.?
A: There is no cure for diabetes at present however research is on the trail of one it seems. http://www.informationaboutdiabetes.com/diabetes-news/a-cure-for-diabetes-3/
The latest treatment i know of is insulin pumps http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin_pump#Advantages_of_pumping_insulin
