Note: This is about diabetes type 2, not type 1. Might be worth to editorialize the heading in this case.

As a T1D I empathize so strongly with this comment.

There was a promising example in China where Scientists cured a single woman who had T1D. It's n=1, but the first step to a cure is curing someone :)
