Love Diabetes: Watch your mouth when you say cure to me

http://www.LoveDiabetes.com - When the topic of a cure for diabetes arises-- the temperature can melt icebergs! In light of such discussions on Allies Voice -- it is important to emphasize a new rule for the New Year.

Allies Voice is as much your forum as it is Allie's. The definition of a cure can vary for each of us. Defining a cure for diabetes is as difficult as obtaining world peace. Many variables are contingent upon the success for one objective. What does this mean? A cure can be defined by our expectations.

The open dialogue on Allies Voice is intended to provoke thoughts that will revolutionize the trend of diabetes. Some of the most brilliant ideas can be misconstrued as malarkey if it is missing a valid reference. Please cite your sources. Personal, professional, and hypothetical ALL qualify for citations to the relative cure.

Hi Allie,

My daughter has type 1 diabetes and I have been following Dr, Faustman's work. I know that you are participating in the human phase 1 trials. I was wondering how that is going for you? I know that they have only just completely phase 1 which involves immunology, but how has it gone? I'm so curious!

Btw, thanks for your posts :)

However, having said that I do not mean to be "let's not care about the diabetics, there all going to die," I don't mean that by any means my dad's a diabetic, my brothers a diabetic, my kids have a 50% chance at getting it but I dodged the diabetic bullet. Another theory is that the diabetic trait may also be brought upon, or activated, by a virus or living pattern. Your video also scares me.

type 1 diabetes is genetic and is theorized to have been at least partially environmentally brought on but you cannot change your genetics that isn't to say that it isn't possible but at the current time to make changes to your DNA as an adult or even child in a large scale is simple impossible. There also cannot exist a cure for cancer as it is simply a mutation of cells that continue to reproduce and do not carry out normal function, treatment maybe; cure no. "Life's a b***h then you die."
