Even one of my students sent this to me. And no, I’m not excited. Do you know how many times they have cured diabetic mice?
Diabetic mice became healthy virtually overnight after researchers injected a substance to counteract the effect of malfunctioning pain neurons in the pancreas.
There is sort of a joke/saying among the diabetes community that diabetic mice must be easy to cure — and if you think about it, since they are artificially induced to be diabetic, curing them SHOULD be as easy.
When it results in an actual treatment, I’ll get excited. Until then … I’m going to get on with my life. And by the way, the worst thing that can happen is that diabetics get hope, decide not to take the care they need for good control AND then get to the cure point and find out they are incurable precisely because they didn’t take good enough care of themselves.
