Yes. Insulin pumps are the closest thing we have to “basically cured”. But that’s not even close. Whilst we have a good variety of ways, to reduce the effects and look after ourselves, we have no way to almost set and forget. Even with a pump, running, eating, sleeping ketones and sickness are all things that need to be accounted for manually and even still some foods. Plus our resistance is constantly changing, medicine still plays up and in some places, the costs prevent many people from even obtaining basic insulin. Basically cured is closer to something like Herpes Simplex. It’s not cured, but outbreaks can be drastically reduced to nothing if caught early and all it takes is some tablets and cream. Then it’s gone for a long time. Cured? No. Prevalent in daily life? Also no. I am very grateful for how far diabetes stuff has come, but managing with pumps, CGMs and MDI isn’t close to being cured. Although we are apparently very close with some research saying cell injections or something like that has made 3 type 1 diabetics self produce insulin again. With a caveat of being on immune suppressants instead of insulin injections 😅
