Cinnamon, eating raw foods everyday, probiotics, arginine, avocado, flaxseed, and many many more. Many people offer these cures and suggestions trying to be helpful. They may help control glucose levels no doubt, but none are a cure.
Trust me, if cinnamon was a cure I would be eating a cinnabon every single day. You wouldn't have to force me for that one. I would eat anything, do anything to be cured. If a cure existed, I would know about it before you telling me.
One time Good Morning America put in one of their main headline stories for the day "Cure for Diabetes". But they never differentiated between the two types until the story actually took place 15 minutes later. People kept telling me that day "Hey did you hear there is a cure for diabetes?" They just heard the title and didn't watch the story. It was gastric bypass surgery for type 2 diabetes. It is awesome for them but it would never cure me. It might actually kill me.
After having type 1 awhile you begin to realize the cure is always 5-10 years away. You learn that mice and rats can essentially be cured of anything (lucky bastards). You look forward to new and better technology or drugs which is hopefully around the corner.
I can't complain too much though. I am very fortunate to get diagnosed in a time where new devices has vastly improved the lives of those with this disease. Continuous glucose monitoring, more accurate glucose monitors, insulin pumps that can suspend if you drop too low. Now if only all this stuff was affordable to everybody, it would make it ten times better.
There is also even better technology on the horizon with the artificial pancreas, the bionic pancreas, and encapsulation (I'm banking on the last two).
I appreciate the normies who think there is a cure for diabetes and are excited to let me know. Least it shows they care about me.
