RoxStar Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 But...this isn't a cure right? It just says how at risk you are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shok_Tinoktin Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 but knowing what gene affects it is a step towards being able to alter that gene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more we KNOW about a disease the more we know how to TREAT a disease Of course actual cures are still a ways down the road but we're making progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jed Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 I think it should be pointed out that this is only Type II Diabetes, not Juvenile Diabetes (Type I). Nevertheless, kudos to researchers. This will eventually help a lot of older and/or overweight people who tend to develop this. Now help the kids.

Neverhoodian Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 That's good news. Hopefully this will result in treatments that will help those 8.2 million people (in America alone) who suffer from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Who knows, in ten years we might have a cure for Type II diabetes. This is very, very good knews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcd1234 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 This is very awesome. Hopefully we will have a cure someday and then... SCIENCE WILL WIN AGAIN!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrion Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 This is good news, my mother this year was diagnosed with Type II diabetes, so hopefully they'll be able to come out with a cure soon. And Jed, maybe researches are also close to finding the Type I gene... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least there are guidelines for where to search for Juvenile Diabetes now, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish them luck with finding treatments for this and other types of diabetes. I had two grandparents with adult diabetes. They died a few years ago.
