http://www.redorbit.com/news/health/1799800/discovery_of_new_gene_called_brd2_that_regulates_obesity_and/index.html?source=r_health "He went on to add, "Much like these protected obese humans, the Brd2-deficient mice have reduced inflammation of fat and never develop failure of the beta cells in the pancreas that is associated with Type 2 diabetes". Sounds to me like we just need to repair the beta cells in the pancreas! Easy peasy! A little bit of gene therapy, maybe a bit of hocus pocus and voila, no more diabetes! What is taking these guys so long?! 8-))) |

http://news.yahoo.com/s/hsn/20100205/hl_hsn/genomemappedfortype2diabetes More good news for diabetics! Hopefully all this leads to treatments that actually slow or stop the spread of this disabling disease! One thing that would help alot though is consistent info coming from ones Doctors. Lots of advances in this area is leading to many Doctors that are being left behind. Mine for instance has no idea about any of this and since they don't get the internet at work, I keep taking her printouts that she doesn't read. |

more hope for a cure someday http://www.canada.com/health/Rare+gene+mutation+could+point+diabetes+cure/2555267/story.html And another story here: http://www.canada.com/health/Cell+transplants+offer+best+hope+diabetes+cure/2206025/story.html Diabetes research seems to be heading towards a cure, although the timing may not be as close as some of us would like it to be. |

I would bet the line would be long looking for volunteers to test this! And I do wish the Government would look into funding some of this research. It would make sense to spend a little money now to save alot later on! Kind of like stopping smoking prevents the related hospital costs later on. |
