Yes, you are right about the cells. It's just the immune system that is the big problem now.
Ahh, They have found that with just four drugs to curb the T-cells so there is not much to go on.

I think I read somewhere that they still say another 5-10 years before it's all figured out. That would be hard to believe after all this time of having Diabetes.
With the human triles that I think it's underway It's not far off I dare say.

Ya, you're almost as many years with Diabetes, as I am. How old were you when were you diagnosed?
I was 11 or was I 10 in '71 and you would not reconize me as I was thin, Too thin as you know that ballet dancers are slim as I was thinner.

Well, we are still doing pretty Good considering, eh? When I was 7, I heard my Optometrist tell my Mom that I would be blind by age 19. And of course, other older citizens said I'd have to have my legs amputated and I would be dead by age 35. None of that stuff has happened to me yet(touch wood). It sure wasn't much Fun with those thoughts in the far back of my mind while growing up though. I guess you heard the same remarks from People also.
Yes, I have some compications though like just lately a stroke and eye problems. Not good at all.
