> Since our errant immunity is localized on the insulin producing beta cells being on immune supressants would still be better than being insulin deoendent

As a Type 1 diabetic, I'm not sure I would agree. Surely immune suppressants would suppress our whole immune system not just the faulty bit which opens us up to all sorts of problems. I don't think that is someone I would like to risk just to avoid taking insulin. Mind you I have to confess my attitude might be affected by the fact that I don't have to pay for insulin.
