Do you think we can expect cure for diabetis soon?

No: We have good methods of prevention, but no one follows them. We have better and better treatments, but government and insurance don't want us to use them when they have the most potential benefit. Unfortunately, diabetes is a multifaceted and complex disease and a "cure" is still decades and decades away.

No, Slow, Food Key: Dm remains complex, over 250 snp genetic variants identified for type ii. However, dm is ↑ed sugar, therefore ↓↓ all sugar (carb) intake to minimize driving the problems. Study: big fat lies, mcgovern's report, science for smart people, dietdoctor, taubes, attia, nusi.Org, hf/lc, lustig fatchance, etc. Glp-1 analogue medications (victoza, bydureon) work best, metformin next, avoid most others.
