Possible Diabetes Cures Ready For (or In) Human Trials
This is my list of possible cures for type-1 diabetes that are either
in human trials or almost ready for human trials. I will try to put in
every trial that I learn of, that meets the following criteria:
1. It is a cure for type-1 diabetes, not a treatment for a symtom. (A
cure requires blood sugar control without testing and with doctor’s
visits 4 times a year, or less. Obviously, this is my personal
definition of a cure; yours may differ. Any cure must result in an
average lifespan close to normal.)
2. It is either in human trials now, or has been in the past, or is
expected to be within the next two years.
3. Does not require a lifetime of immunsuppressive drugs, so it is not
trading one treatment for another. (but a couple of repeated
operations, or a short course of drugs is OK)
4. It is not specific to the "honeymoon" phase of the disease.
