Question from San Jose, California, USA:

As the parent of a four-year old with diabetes, I have only one Will there ever be a cure?

Answer:

From: DTeam Staff

Many people are working on a cure for diabetes. We can do this in some animals now, but the side effects are too toxic for human use at the moment. With more funding and more research, we will get closer and closer. Current treatments are better than ever before and continue to make our jobs as pediatric diabetologists and parents that much easier.

Don’t give up!
