Old Diabetes News - Dec 2006

I wanted to finally get some news up here about diabetes.
There is alot of new stuff but i wanted to bring back an old news article to see what everyone thinks.

This particular article pertains to the potential diabetes cure that was found at the Sick Kids Hospital.

They were using mice like in most medical testing but in this case, this is what they did to find the potential cure:

"Diabetic mice became healthy virtually overnight after researchers injected a substance to counteract the effect of malfunctioning pain neurons in the pancreas"

This was published in December 2006 and it was big news to alot of hopeful diabetics........ I havent heard anything pertaining to this since that date. Do trials really take that long, because if they are looking for someone to use, I will volunteer!

How can news this big dissapear and never be heard about for 2 years so far.
Is it because if they do find a cure, so many business will be out of business, or are they really stuck and they dont know how to make it work in humans?

I don't know about all of you, but I have been looking for a cure since the day i was diagnosed!

Click on the title above to get to the article, take a read and please comment on this, I really want to hear what you all have to say!
