One day I hope we will at least find a cure for type 1.
The first reported cases in history go back to the 2nd century! Since insulin was first administered in 1922 to a human (initially tried in dogs) we have come a long way with many children with diabetes having insulin by a pump (a machine that gives insulin they wear).
There was a flame lit in 1989 in Canada that continues to burn until there is a cure for diabetes (insulin is a treatment but not a cure). I hope we will see the flame go out at somepoint in our lives!
