The industry will never come up with a cure because there's more money in chronic treatments.

At the same time, why do we even need diabetes technology? Just go on a low-carb diet. My grandma was borderline diabetic a year ago. She was getting very worried, so I was finally able to convince her to try it and now her test results are great.

Even if you're a type I diabetic, this will manage your symptoms although it won't cure you. Check out "Good Calories Bad Calories" by Gary Taubes.

I'm not sure low-carb is necessarily effective for people with serious insulin dysregulation. I'm pretty sure for Type 1 in particular, avoiding carbs is insufficient (you also require insulin injections). Personal bias: Dad has diabetes, caused by pancreatitis, and although minimising carbs led to some weight loss (not that he is/was overweight), it has no impact on his blood sugar.

Yes, type 1 is a different beast.

The latests theories point to gluten to cause a leaky gut, that causes complex foreign molecules to enter the bloodstream, and as some molecules are similar to our own, this causes the immune system to attack some cells in our body. The cells in the pancreas that make insulin are one of these.

The bad news is that if you have Type 1, you can't be cured, and need insulin for life.
