can a type 1 be cured in a child who is 11years
No - no cure
Really good combination insulin pumps or pods driven by Continuous Glucose Monitors but that is as good as it gets
It is an Auto-Immune disease and when it hits it totally destroys the pancreas ability to produce insulin - there is no treatment or cure to restore any function at all
Unless there is a breakthrough it IS a lifetime disease that will require insulin replacement therapy forever
In type 1 diabetes the pancreas doesn't produce insulin so insulin had to be injected. Insulin is needed to get glucose into the cells. It can be well managed but not cured.
As a Type 1 I feel rather "out" amongst all the Type 2 diabetics here. Who is Type 1? How many of you are Type 1?
