One of the strong cure-based research projects being undertaken by the Diabetes Research Institute (DRI). DRI is in full swing with a number of islet transplant clinical trials. (DRI on Facebook) This is exciting, but we need to remember to be patient. We all hope... as a Type 1, I'm right there with you. We must also remember that these are research studies and findings might not be the final answer. But, it's a strong step on the path.
If you're interested in contributing to these clinical trial efforts, you can find more information here:
