Research: Cure

Question from Hawthorne, California, United States:

Is there any chance that there might be a cure for diabetes?

Answer:

From: DTeam Staff

Yes, there is a chance that there may be a cure for diabetes but, unfortunately, such a cure is not in the near future. There are many researchers working all around the world and also in the USA on finding out what causes the different types of diabetes and what might be done to treat them better or even to cure them. This is slow and expensive work. But, we’re wiser about such things now than ever before. And, nobody can tell exactly when such scientific breakthroughs will actually take place since they have to be tested and be safe to use.
